Coffee Date For All at The Glasshouse
This is for the early birds who'd like to enjoy a cuppa as they watch the world go by on Valentine's. At The Glasshouse, customers can enjoy artisan toasts and fresh coffee brews. This is the place to go for those who want to slow down and appreciate being in the present, regardless if you are alone or in the company of your significant other for Valentine's.
Gift Yourself (or others) with Mini Dried Flower Bouquets from Floral Kokoro
Ever dreaded the hassle that came with accepting fresh blooms from your significant other, or buying them yourself if you are someone who doesn't have particularly green thumbs? Then drop the norm of buying live flowers and go for the soft aesthetic that dried flower bouquets have instead! Not only are they worth that Instagram shot, they are also tough in terms of longevity.
Go Book Shopping at BooksActually
No one does love right like a writer does; a quiet afternoon of book browsing through this beloved bookstore in the company of other bookworms will do wonders to your soul. And if your wallet allows, perhaps make some room in your heart for poetry by purchasing poetry books written by local writers such as Joshua Ip, Pooja Nansi, Cyril Wong and more.

Not to mention their impeccable food menu, which 'features a modern interpretation of European classics with a twist'. Take note to have a handy outerwear at hand though, as it can get chilly up there!
Indulge In Live Singing Performances At Unplugged
Whether if you are single or not, Unplugged is the one place that you shouldn't give a miss if you are planning to give a great song dedication live.
