February is often dubbed the month of love. But, if romance isn’t your thing, there’s still
plenty to enjoy. Whether you’re planning for a special Valentine’s Day celebration,
looking for the perfect gifts, or in need of a spooky movie marathon, we’ve got you
covered. Here’s a guide to help you navigate Boise during the month of love—and
anti-love.
Flowers, Flowers, Flowers!
Hillcrest Floral – With its convenient downtown location, Hillcrest Floral
is a one-stop shop for everything floral. From stunning bouquets to tropical plants, they’ve got all the essentials to make your loved one’s day unforgettable.

Eat, Eat, Eat

exceptional food and an unforgettable atmosphere. Just be sure to make reservations,
especially if you’re planning to dine on Valentine’s Day!
The Wylder – A beloved Boise staple, The Wylder is a fantastic
choice for a relaxed yet delicious dinner. This restaurant does not accept reservations, so make sure you start your walk downtown ahead of time!
The Melting Pot – It’s getting hot in here! Fondue has never been more fun, or close to VERVE!

For the Anti-Crowd: Slasher Movie Marathon!
If the lovey-dovey stuff isn’t for you, why not dive into a horror movie marathon? These
slasher flicks will keep you on edge from the comfort of your apartment:
Scream – A classic slasher where couples are the least of your worries—especially
when someone’s trying to kill you.
Valentine – On the most romantic day of the year, romance takes a deadly turn. Love
may be in the air, but so is murder.
Celebrate Singles Awareness Day (February 15)
For those flying solo, don’t forget to celebrate Singles Awareness Day, observed on
February 15, the day after Valentine’s Day. It’s the perfect time to treat yourself to some
self-care and embrace your independence.
Breakup Day – February 21
Feeling the post-Valentine’s Day blues? Breakup Day on February 21 is dedicated to
reflecting, healing, and moving forward after the end of a relationship. It’s a day for self-
love, self-reflection, and growth.
Whether you’re embracing the romance or simply looking to get away from it all,
February has something for everyone. From places to go, things to buy, and movies to
watch, there’s no shortage of activities to help you make the most of the month. So take
a break from work, school, or stress, and make time for something fun—whether it’s a
romantic outing or a solo adventure.
Love, VERVE
