To some, the 13th of February is a made-up holiday that came about as a result of a Parks and Recreation episode. However, it’s the beautiful meaning that surrounds this special day that we’re really celebrating: comradery between people. 

So, if you find yourself unattached this V-Day, grab a couple of friends and your glasses and cheers to the friendships you keep.

Here are a few ways to acknowledge those special in your life: 

A night in with a good rom-com 

A tall glass of wine, a giant bowl of popcorn, a few friends and the mushiest rom-com you can find on Netflix. Your Place or Mine, Crazy Stupid Love… the list goes on! 

Game night

There’s no better way to test the strength of friendship than with a highly competitive game night. Dust off the scrabble board or 30 Seconds, and let the games begin! Keen on taking things up a notch? Here are some games for all to try in Cape Town:

Have a sleepover 

Okay, stay with us. This may sound a little high school, but there’s nothing better than whipping up a delicious dinner and talking until the early hours with your bestie. Throw in a classic movie, facial masks and a few cocktails, and you have a winner. Just make sure that you set the alarm for work tomorrow. Elevate your sleepover dreams by staying over at a special place in the Cape:

Put together the perfect party packet 

If your love language is giving or receiving gifts, then definitely give this one a go. Their favourite delicious treats, gadgets or mini arts and crafts projects they can construct at home are all great ideas for those looking to fill their party packets and put a smile on their friend’s face. Remember, local is lekker:

Paint the town red 

You’re together and that’s all that matters. Head to your favourite bar or your favourite restaurant for a memorable night out. Add these places to your list:
