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.

I'll be home on Valentine's Day with my husband and daughter. We won't be doing much, maybe just having a special dessert. Valentine's Day weekend is the anniversary of our first date, 12 years ago. I put up a few Valentine's Day decorations in our house, too

We usually go out to dinner on Valentine's Day (because of the crowd), but I will cook a nice dinner and bake a homemade strawberry cake with strawberry frosting.

My birthday is the 11th so we usually do a dinner with the kids and celebrate both days as a family.

I'll probably just cook something or order out. My husband isn't the planning type.

I have let hubby off the hook - we don't celebrate Valentine's Day as it is a made up holiday. We have our birthdays and Christmas at the end of the year and our Anniversary in April so we focus on those. We might make a nice dinner or go out to dinner somewhere near Valentine's Day (not on the day to avoid inflated prices) but no gifts or cards. The effort put into Valentine's Day shouldn't be confined to one day of the year. Little gestures throughout the year are much more meaningful to us.

I don't really consider this a holiday. I do try and make it fun for the grandkids though and buy a few valentine gifts...pj's, stuffed animal, fun toy?
