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.

This year, we decided to go a different route and go out for a lunch date (instead of dinner) while the kids were at school so we could spend the evening with them! Also, instead of real flowers, he took me to a store to make our own bouquet of fake flowers, so the will last forever! He's too cute!

We celebrated with a home-made dinner and good fine. We also went to see 50 Shades of Darker. It was a great Valentine's Day!

my family was home. we have 2 small girls so trying to eat out was not happening. we bought and made eachother little gifts which we exchanged and cooked dinner at home. So sort of a normal night.

I don't celebrate Valentine's Day. Love should not be forced and no one should feel pressured to make extravagant gifts and gestures because the calendar tells them they should. Love should be a lifestyle one chooses to live every day and to make simple gestures of love every day you're together; whether small or large.
