Some may be strongly against it, but celebrating Valentine's Day can be an occasion to give yourself and your partner some quality time or just enjoy a treat together.
Are you looking for some inspiration to celebrate?
Here are a few ideas for different budgets to enjoy the day dedicated to love and romance.
Under £30
Sweet Valentine for sweet-tooth couples
Are you a sugar-glazed couple, meaning that it is a sacrilege to you to end a meal without dessert?
For couples with a sweet tooth, there are some great local producers baking up a delicious storm for Valentine's.
To stir away from the usual chocolates, why not to go nuts with doughnuts? Perk's special Valentine Boxes (£24) and their Valentine's Day package (£30) are a great option.
Or if you are more one for biscuits and down the Nairn way, Jemima's Treat Tins special love treat boxes (£15) are another tasty idea!
Bowling date night
If you and your partner can take a bit of competition, an evergreen date night is on the bowling lanes!
You can head to Rollerbowl Inverness for what will surely be a striking night.
Share a meal and a good bottle
There is no reason to cut on flavour even if you are on a budget, especially when it comes to a good bottle to share over a tasty home-cooked meal.
Inverness wine and spirits merchants Wood Winters and Majestic in Inverness have special Valentine's deals and selections on bottles to treat your loved ones.
Over £30

This year Inverness Cathedral will host a romantic Valentine's by candlelight concert with look- and sound! -alike Michael Bublé, George Michael & Elton John (tickets at £25 each).
An evening full of love songs which will take place on Tuesday night at 7.30pm.
Food for the soul
The most classic of celebrations is a good night out with good food to share.
Inverness restaurants like The White House, The Kitchen Brasserie or Corner on the Square (Beauly) will offer special Valentine's tasting menus.
Why not to check if your favourite restaurant has a special treat for the day?
Full immersion with a Hotel Valentine's packages
If you want to take Valentine's weekend seriously and get the full package and get some special time to treat your partner, why not to check the special packages that some hotels in the area are organising?
The Kingsmills Hotel offers Romantic Break packages and if you want an extra treat, Golf View Hotel & Spa in Nairn have both a sharer menu as well as a Time for Two spa experience package to celebrate.

Not feeling too romantic? Then why not organise a horror movie night marathon at home? (make sure that pans are out of the way if your partner is easily scared by weird noises).
Or you need to relieve some tension? Why not to go with your partner on an axe throwing date? They are organised at Bowhunter Archery or Wildwoodz, who will make sure you have fun – and come back home with all limbs attached!
