Valentine’s Day is arguably the most predictable gift-giving day of the year. Chances are you have purchased a greeting card, candy, flowers or jewelry for your significant other in years past. While those gift ideas are tried and true, they are also boring. Let 2018 be the year that you finally think outside of the chocolate box and give your valentine a unique and memorable night they won’t soon forget.


5. Art-Shaped Glass - Valentine’s Day Art Class
Wednesday, Feb. 14 (3 p.m. – 5 p.m. or 7 p.m. – 9 p.m.)

Whether you’re an experienced painter or a first-timer, check out the “Doves in Love” art class to be held at Ratigan Art Studio, 847 Main Street, East Greenwich. For just $35 per person, the studio will provide you with two hours of instruction, acrylic paint, and a 16” x 20” canvas to create the perfect masterpiece.

3. Slip-Slidin' Away - Bumper Cars on Ice
Wednesday, Feb. 14 (8 a.m. – 10 p.m. (Hours vary))

Bumper cars and romance may not sound like they belong in the same sentence, but couples looking for a fun activity this Valentine’s Day need look no further than a night out at the Alex and Ani City Center in Downtown Providence.

If you’re not in the mood for bumper cars, you can strap on some ice skates and have a more leisurely time. In honor of Valentine’s Day, the rink will be selling red velvet hot chocolate and will feature a photo booth so you can capture that perfect moment.
