Valentine’s Day is just over a week away — and don’t worry, we’ve got the gifts covered. If you’re looking to keep things classic this V-Day, consider shopping local for the essentials including chocolate, flowers, and spa treatments for your beau.

For love that’s still blooming

Have your loved one stop and smell the roses with local arrangements fit for new romances or your long-time partner. We love Fallon’s Flowers and its florals for every occasion — not just Valentine’s Day. While you’re picking up your bouquet from TG Floristry, grab one of Ky’s Kandles for some added ambiance.

For your sweetheart

Indulge your valentine in a gift that’s as sweet as them. Shop trays of bonbons and hot-sauce infused chocolate to spice things up from Videri, or give the gift of adventure with a tasting kit from Escazú.

For the one who deserves some pampering

If hot towels, eye cucumbers, and soothing scents sound like your significant other’s idea of fun, give them a day at a Raleigh spa, like Woodhouse, Synergy Face + Body, and Blue Water Spa. Pro tip: Get in on the fun with a couples massage or facial for some extra time to connect.

For love that will last a lifetime

Precious, strong, brilliant. These aren’t just words to describe your valentine — get them some jewelry to match their dazzling personality. With four local locations, we love shopping Bailey’s for designer + fine jewelry and watches from this local, family-owned store. Plus, stop in to Fink’s while you’re at North Hills for everything from Rolex to David Yurman.
