Get down and dirty in the kitchen using some cooking tools with your loved one—especially if he or she hasn’t revealed a culinary side yet.

Brettschneider’s Baking & Cooking School has a special Valentine’s Day cooking class with chef Jenna White just for couples on February 14. You’ll learn how to create a sumptuous meal that includes canapés (prepared by the chef), stuffed fresh pasta and chocolate lava tartlet to end the lesson on a sweet note. For oenophiles, you’ll also get to enjoy some wine during the class. After the lesson, each couple will get to head home with a satisfied stomach as well as a Valentine’s Day gift courtesy of Baker & Cook.

And who knows, you may be going home with a beau who’s the next Nigella Lawson or Gordon Ramsay in the making.

How is pottery sexy, you may ask? Well, picture the iconic scene from American romantic thriller Ghost starring Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze, and there you have it. This Valentine's Day, we reckon it's a great way for both you and your significant other to tune out the noise and enjoy each other's company; to work the clay on the wheel in front of you and look forward to bringing your own finished pieces home. But due to the art form's rising popularity, it's fastest fingers first to book a session at any one of these studios: Pinch, Goodman Ceramic Studio, Mud Rock Ceramics or Studio Asobi, where they have classes ranging from beginners to advanced levels to suit your abilities. 

If kicking back with a drink in hand is your idea of a good way to relax and decompress as a couple, why not try a Gin & Tonic pairing masterclass at one of Singapore's much loved watering holes, The Spiffy Dapper? A session with them will take you through the history and science behind the classic cocktail—which surprise, surprise—actually originated in the jungles of Malaya. You will get to taste three types of gin and five types of tonic waters, each varying in style and flavour profiles. Once you've identified your favourite from each pairing, it will then be served to you in full and garnished with botanicals of your choice. 

PS: Be prepared for a boozy evening, as tipplers can expect to be served about seven standard drinks by the end of the session.

The folks behind Singapore-based online floral shop that specialises in succulent bouquets have recently rolled out their Valentine's Day workshop for couples looking to get hands on to create their floral arrangements. 

But why choose to create a succulent bouquet instead of a traditional one with fresh flowers? Compared to most florists who have their florals and exotic plants imported in, most of Echevaria.co's succulents are regionally sourced and require less energy to keep alive—a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way to enjoy beautiful blooms. Workshops are limited to seven participants, where they will also be able to take home a complimentary re-potting guide, succulent soil and a small personalised gift card at the end of the day.
