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.

It's fun for me to Celebrate with my kiddos! I'm going to make a Valentine's buffet of heart shaped food. I have a Valentine's craft all set for them to make and give to their daddy!

I've been divorced 10 years. I'm seeing a guy that I would like to take to dinner. I've not celebrated Valentines Day in that 10 years. I didn't date for 5 to try and figure out who I was without my husband and what I wanted. I'm 49 years old and would love to have dinner at Olive Gard n with wine.

We were just talking about going out to dinner for Valentine's Day, but after 36 years of marriage, we STILL have a hard time deciding where to go. Oh well, we'll have to go out twice - once for him, once for me.

I'm not sure what my husband has planned.. We usually shy away from going to restaurants the day of because there are usually long wait times. I'll probably cook a really nice meal or order pizza.. Who knows! Lol
