Whether we’re ready for it or not, the season of love is upon us! And hey, if you haven’t found that special someone just yet, there’s no need to worry. Valentine’s Day is about so much more than fancy chocolates and romantic dinner dates! 

Show yourself and the people around you some much needed love this February 14th, with a random act of kindness! Feel free to take inspiration from the list I’ve come up with.

Ten ways you can spread the love this Valentine’s Day:

  1. Send a care package
  1. Make a phone call to an old friend
  1. Cook a meal/bake something sweet
  1. Give a compliment
  1. Write a thank you card
  1. Support a small business
  1. Shovel a neighbour’s driveway
  1. Offer to buy groceries for an elder in your community
  1. Make a playlist for a friend
