Single
Whether happily...
Or not so happily...
- Get a few friends together and go for Cuban-style drinks and dinner at The Royale in Craighall.
- Spoil yourself to a delightful mani or pedi and some cool nail art at Tenfold in Maboneng.
- Or do some e-therapy and shop the AMAZING 14 day deals on Superbalist.com.
- I seriously want to get myself one of these gorgeous custom-made purses from Missibaba, limited edition for V-day.
It's complicated
- For those 'is it a friend or is a potential partner' on a hike. This takes the pressure off a romantic restaurant-style date and can be pure 'innocent' fun and a good way to bond as friends first. There is one happening on 14 February at Delvera Valentine's Sunset Hike, R150, bubbly included.
- Or have a relaxing stroll through the Zeitz MOCAA museum in the Silo District, entrance is free on Wednesdays. And V-day is a Wednesday!
- Or enjoy this picnic in the sky for R880 a pair at 308 Fox Street in Jozi.
