Do something fun on Valentine’s Day

Whether you are in a relationship or not, Valentine’s Day is around the corner.

If you fall in the single and not ready to mingle category then feel free to stop reading now.

Love will soon be in the air and you are probably looking for some last minute ideas on how to impress your date with the ultimate goal of winning his or her heart.

We have put together a list of 5 things you can do together which are sure to land you in the good books this Valentine’s Day on February 14.

First thing up on the list might be better suited to the long-term couples out there who want to team up to get rid of their daily frustrations.

1. Smash It Ballito

Smash rooms are a relatively new concept, allowing people to go into a room with the goal of destroying things in a safe and controlled manner, either together or alone.

Smash rooms have been proven to have several benefits, including providing a sense of empowerment, serving as a safe space to explore emotions or even to improve relationships.

While this may come at a cost to your pocket, it is worth exploring as an alternative to you and your date venting about frustrations over WhatsApp or wine.

Perhaps watching a movie together, comfortably leaning onto your partner’s shoulder while glaring at the big screen and eating popcorn is more your thing?

These screenings are for February 14 – Scream (2pm and 4.30pm), Redeeming Love (11am and 7pm), Spider-Man: No Way Home (12.30pm, 3.45pm and 7pm).
