Shake things up or throw things down (laptops, dishes, TVs, and glasses to be specific) this Valentine’s Day at Destruction Depot Rage Room in Whitmore Lake. Relieve stress and let adrenaline soar as you take part in this healthy outlet for violent expression. Recently separated? Destruction Depot offers break-up/divorce parties where you can bring in up to three items of your own to destroy.


Build Your Own Charcuterie Board

Skip the typical date night with dinner and head to Culture Beer and Cheese to build your own charcuterie board. Start by choosing from a rotating list of delicious cheeses. Don’t forget to include your choice of flavorful cured meats and pate. Fill out your board with dried fruits, nuts, pickles, mustards, and Great Harvest bread.


Make A Handmade Gift

Get crafting this Valentine’s Day and let your inner artist run free. Bring your imagination to The Ceramic Studio Etc. to paint on pottery, glass, or canvas. This shop offers walk-ins for Paint-Your-Own-Pottery and Glass Fusing and supplies all glazes, brushes, and design tools.

In addition to being the perfect date night, it is also the ideal way to make a handmade gift for your Valentine. After your pottery has been painted, it is put into a kiln and is ready to be picked up a week later. Create a romantic masterpiece, or purchase a gift certificate for a future creative date.


Glab a Glass of St. Valentine’s Red

Share a bottle of St. Valentine Red and split a handmade thin-crust specialty pizza with your Valentine from Howell’s Main Street Winery. Get into the Valentine’s Day spirit by enjoying this semi-dry red wine with notes of chocolate and berries that give it a slightly sweet taste.

Explore Howell’s Main Street Winery‘s variety of wines and find the perfect bottle to share with your Valentine!
