Who says Valentine’s Day is just for sappy couples? It’s a day to share with anyone you love. In that spirit, we’ve found things to do solo, with a friend or with a companion. Whichever you decide to choose, you’re bound to have a delightful time.

Prepping for the big Valentine’s night? If you are flying solo or gear-ing up for a romantic evening, you know you want to look your best. Head over to Universal Nails and get 20% off any nail service on Mondays. And bring the man, too; they specialize in unisex nail care. 532 Kingstown Road, Wakefield. 789-4108.

If you’re noticing little lines around your eyes or noticing that your face needs a little boost, stop by Amanda Grant Skin Care in Lafayette Mill. Along with any customized facial, you’ll get a complimentary dermas-weep. 650 Ten Rod Road, North Kingstown. 860-287-9977.


Make yourself a priority this Valentine’s Day by getting some inner calm and beautifying of your soul at All That Matters. Eighty-nine dollars buys you an unlimited amount of yoga as well as discounts on workshops and health services in the store. 315 Main Street, Wakefield. 782-2126.

If you are in the throes of a romantic relationship, there is nothing more decadant than a weekend away at the Vanderbilt Grace hotel. Guests are invited to stay with the one they love and indulge in their Valentine's Day package, which includes: A two night stay in a State Room with a delicious continental champagne breakfast. Make your own box of chocolates in a 30 minute Chocolate Lovers class, then take them home or enjoy during dinner. A romantic four course dinner for two in Muse by Jonathan Cartwright. Reservations required. 41 Mary Street, Newport. 846-6200.

Need a little fun to go with your Valentine’s weekend? Of course you do. Head down to the Boss Ice Arena on February 13 and 15 for their Public Skating. Nothing says I love you like watching each other skate around awkwardly while trying to hold hands and not taking each other down with each push of the skate. $6 general admission; $5 skate rental; $3 for URI students, staff and faculty. One Keaney Road, Kingston.

Ready for the big night out? On February 14, Oceanside at the Pier is offering a four course meal with the likes of a Pan-seared Duck and Honey-Glazed Salmon, just to name a few. It’s $50 per person, and who says you have to go with a significant other. I’m sure mom would appreciate a dinner out with her favorite kid. One Beach Street, Narragansett. 792-3999.

Greenwich Bay Oyster Bar also has some romance up its sleeve with their Buck a Shuck $1 oysters on Saturday night. There’s nothing wrong with a little aphrodisiac, and you can’t beat the price. Valentine’s Day is also the perfect time to try their Love Potion martini. Between the oysters and the martini, you’re sure to have a no-fail night. 250 Main Street, East Greenwich. 398-2462.
