Let's not beat around the bush. We don't celebrate V-Day, even though we're totally in love. (Give us flowers, chocolates, diamonds any other day - or every other day.) As such, today we've got suggestions for celebrating OFF the beaten path.
Eat
No doubt we flogged this idea last year, but we have one concept to share: in-house picnic. Skip overpriced restaurants and spend the afternoon wandering around Borough Market and pick out a feast for the senses to enjoy on your living room floor. Plan a menu, based on this helpful site, including grilled asparagus with garlic, raw oysters (natch), a salad of rocket and pine nuts with honey-mustard dressing, and strawberries dipped in chocolate. With lots of red wine to wash it all down.
Drink
Although this year, we're celebrating Valentine's Day at The Hoxton Pony with our best friend, her husband and a friend from New York. Why? Because we like the space, we like the drinks, we like the pies, we like the vibe, and to top it off, Nova Dando is DJing. Which is apparently a very good thing.
Read
Now, don't mind us while we move on to sex. (Who are we kidding - we know you don't.) So may we recommend a book which discusses the differences between men and women, or: why are orgasms a given for men, but not for women? Figure out what works for you, then count equality for the rest of your lives. Rock on.
Peel
Right. Maybe you feel like you've got to give a gift. So after you've peeled off your clothes (let's face it, you are a gift), present your lover with a shiny, red...vegetable peeler! This piece of sleek machinery is only £14.95, and we used ours for two years before it before the blade snapped off. Then you wanna know what happened? Kyocera sent a replacement blade. Talk about a happy ending.
Shop
This weekend guide would not be complete without a mention of Sh! Women's Erotic Emporium, which sent out an inspiring list of Valentine's Day commandments. We'll leave you with them:

- Thou shalt love thyself...beyond all others.
- Thou shalt be scornful of...petrol station flowers.
- Thou shalt not covert...a date in an overpriced restaurant.
- Thou shalt not kill...thy lover but merely chastise them just a little bit.
- Thou shalt not lie...in bed, roll over and go to sleep.
- Guys, thou have no excuse!
- Single girlz, please thyself!
