Are you scratching your head over what to do for Valentine’s Day? Remember that price doesn’t matter; it’s the thought that counts. So think about what that special lady or man in your life would like to do. Even if it is staying at home, make sure you clean the apartment, put out some candles and think about the things he/she likes the most.

If you are looking to go out you can try the romantic spots in Columbia such as Dianne’s on Devine, Goatfeathers Coffee Bar and Restaurant or the laid back Middle Eastern establishment, Al Amir.

For the humorous side of Valentine’s Day you may want to take your date to the showing of Tyler Perry’s “Madea’s Big Happy Family” at the University of South Carolina Arena. Those showings will be on Friday, Feb. 12 and Saturday, Feb. 13.

Do you have any suggestions to make?
