Valentine’s Day might look a bit different this year. Chances are you’ve had to shelve plans for weekend getaways, fancy dinners, or spa dates until things are a little safer. But that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Hear us out: paring down your plans presents an opportunity to rediscover small wonders and appreciate the essential things in life. To help celebrate, SCOJO New York’s entire Tribeca collection is Buy One, Get One from February 12 to February 14. Each frame is inspired by, and named after, a New York City street. Available in a myriad of shapes, patters, and color palettes to suit every style, our Tribecas are constructed with high-quality acetate and shatter-resistant acrylic lenses for a unique, optician-quality pair of reading glasses.

We have a few more ideas for how you can stay safe while celebrating the holiday of love:

Hit the park. Bundle up and take in some fresh air with a crisp, socially distanced stroll. Sunny where you are? Shield your eyes with our stylish SCOJO New York sunglasses.

Tangoed, Stag, Fetch

Sweeten the deal. For a quick and easy treat, this fuss-free fruit mousse needs only a few ingredients and comes together in five minutes. If you love a challenge, give Jacques Pépin’s chocolate soufflé a try.

Talk it out. Games geared towards stimulating conversation have become hugely popular. Grab a deck (or an app), bring your favorite people together and get ready for discussions that will run the gamut from hilarious to heartfelt.

Fall in love with a new book. Settle for a cozy, intimate night in with some quality chocolate, a good bottle of wine, and one of our recommended reads from bookseller Shakespeare & Co. Whether you’re treating yourself to some self-love, comfortably cuffed up with your long-time love, or celebrating a more family-oriented Valentine' with your little ones, Shakespeare & Co. has something for everyone:

Fiction: This Valentine’s Day, show some love to female authors of color. Top picks include Xiaolu Guo’s cross-cultural love story, A Lover’s Discourse, and Jasmine Guillory’s Royal Holiday, featuring a woman in her 50s who stumbles upon love.
Poetry: Pablo Neruda’s Love Poems are as hauntingly gorgeous and deeply sensual as they are popular among lovers. Humor more your speed? Kenney’s Love Poems for Married People is a laugh-out-loud romp of a read.
For children: Arthur Howard’s My Creepy Valentine is an adorable tale of a witch who finds Valentine’s Day too lovey dovey until she meets someone she wants to gift a valentine. Young readers can also learn their letters with Emily Snape’s An Alphabet of Hugs — we recommend extra hugs on the side.
Miscellaneous: If you love the New York Times’ Modern Love column, the editor’s anthology features popular essays from the past 15 years. On the other hand, if you’re so over dating and looking for a funny, relatable read, give Arianna Margulis’s But Like Maybe Don’t? a shot.
