It鈥檚 February, and Valentine鈥檚 Day is not far away. Eleven days away, to be exact.

When it comes to celebrating that special someone, it鈥檚 not always easy to know what to get them, or what to do for the day.

There are few good ideas to keep in mind when looking for a gift. Make sure that it鈥檚 a gift that suits their interests, whether that means tickets to a concert or hockey game like the Penticton Vees or to Kenny 鈥淏lues Boss鈥� Wayne and Sherman Doucette in Salmon Arm.

Something home-made is almost always a better gift than a gift from a store, from making your own jewelry out of wire and a pretty rock to carving a wooden figure, and writing your own card may be hard but it does add that personal touch. If you鈥檙e not a creative writer, find a good card, and copy the text inside into a blank one.

A gift isn鈥檛 the only way to show your appreciation.

Not every couple is happy spending their Valentine鈥檚 evening at home ready to Netflix and Chill.

Book a table for dinner at your favourite restaurant. If you are going to do this, it may be a good idea to do it as soon as possible, before other couples have the same idea.

You could also go out for the night and see some entertainment.

Ari Neufeld is performing live at Slackwater Brewing in Penticton for Valentines. Silver Star Resort is hosting the Snowed In comedy tour on Feb. 13 and 14. Gnarfunkel is performing at Fernando鈥檚 Pub in 琉璃神社. Those are just some of the events that are going on for Valentine鈥檚 Day across the valley.

The last way to celebrate is following your own tradition, whatever that may be.
