Valentine's Day is celebrated as a day for kisses, love and chocolate. But not for everyone. You can now forego the overdone romance and instead just enjoy the holiday with friends (Galentine's Day!), yourself (International Quirkyalone Day!) or your kids (Schoolentine's Day!)

How will you celebrate Valentine's Day? Will you go the traditional route, or will you try something new? Tell us for your choice of a $100 Gift Card to your favorite restaurant, so you can take whoever you want out for dinner in honor of the big red day.

Galentine's Day

Started by the fictional Leslie Knope on Parks and Recreation, Galentine's Day has grown into a real holiday, celebrated in cities nationwide on February 13. All you need to do is to gather friends and enjoy each other's company - waffles and frittatas are encouraged!

International Quirkyalone Day

This holiday has also spread around the globe. International Quirkyalone Day is a celebration of romance, freedom and individuality. You can enjoy the day with others or on your own - you are just encouraged to decide what you want to do, for you.

Schoolentine's Day

It's a universal tradition: elementary school kids will spend February 14 dressed in red, eating pink cupcakes and giving each other Star Wars cards with lollipops attached. After they ask their friends to "Be My Valentine!" will you continue the celebration after school? Giving your child socks with cupids on them, letting them eat a whole giant chocolate kiss and then serving them heart-shaped pizza deserves a name of its own: Schoolentine's Day!

Valentine's Day

Or do you prefer to go the traditional route - spending a night out with your partner, giving jewelry or flowers and eating chocolate truffles?

How will you celebrate Valentine's Day this year? Will it be the traditional route or will you go #AlternativeValentines? Tell us for the chance to win a $100 gift card to your favorite restaurant.

Just celebrated my birthday on 2/9 and looking forward to spending Valentine's Day with my husband having dinner and great conversation. Sharing cards, laughing and enjoying each other. It's no different than most days, but I really love celebrating special times.

Every year i ask one of my closest friends to be my valentine's. I've had guy friends be my valentine's as well as my best girl friends, but for me it's about showing my friend how much they really mean to me even though they already know i care about them very deeply. This year I'm celebrating with my friend Lena who's been my friend for 8 years now. I'm excited for our valentine's date!

Valentine's DAY is a commercial holiday. My husband and I do "valentines" all year by going out and doing things we enjoy doing together. We are also thoughtful and give little gifts and surprises all year round.

My birthday is a week after Valentine's Day, so we will probably go out in between the two days! My favorite restaurant for really special occasions is called The Drying Shed here in San Jose, CA.
