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.

Me and my honey will probably do something quiet and low key because we Dont get much time to ourselves because the kids always have our attention and its a struggle to get time alone.

My husband decided that rather than getting a sitter, we'd take our 2 daughters on a date to Buca!

I'll be celebrating with my husband and son. Valentine's Day is on a Tuesday this year, which is a school night, so we will just hang out at home together.

My husband and I work so much we never get to go out and celebrate anything together. This would be a great gift and a chance for us both to spend time together.

Heh. Well. In honor of our 16th anniversary together, I'll be going to my first psychiatrist appointment in four years, to get back on track and be a better person/wife/mother. That's the ticket! ;)

What a coincidence that you mentioned Galentine's Day - This is the first year I've heard of it - I was invited to a Galentine's Day sleep-over with my girl friends! That's what I'll be doing this year for Valentine's Day! :)

My husband will be out of town working on Valentine's Day this year, so we will be celebrating on a different night. We will be making a special dinner at home this time, grilling filet mignon and scallops along with some veggies and having some kind of good dessert to go with it. Also enjoying a bottle of wine a friend blessed us with. We usually would celebrate with dinner out at a restaurant but since we are on a budget at this time, we bought the steaks and scallops during a recent sale and will be having a lovely dinner together at home. It will be more meaningful and special this way as well. Happy Valentines Day all!

My boyfriend and I are going to take my mom out to dinner because this is her first Valentine's Day in 50 years without my dad - he passed away last May.
