The big "celebration of love," Valentine's Day, is fast approaching on Feb 14th. So, I thought I’d try out the role of the little winged Bruce County cupid. First thing to remember is that Feb 14th is on a Monday this year. The last thing you need on a Monday morning is to appear inconsiderate to your significant other, so I'm giving you ample warning. This cupid's job is just to shoot some options in your direction for where you can take your special Valentine on that day or the weekend. The rest is up to you on how hot you can make it in the coldest month of the year.
Let's go in this order: gifts, restaurants, things to do, then lastly… where you could stay. This list is focused on bringing people together with the selections and don't forget to book restuarant reservations directly after this blog post as tables go quick on that day. Remember, it is the thought that counts and about the little things to show you love someone sometimes.
Ideas for Gifts
Search Bruce County town florist stores -click here-
Bruce County Spa’s (great for gift cards)
Dollar Store (make it funny with giant card), Local Drugstores, Salvation Army (can have neat gifts real inexpensive like a dress, new shirt), gift cards to coffee shops or persons favorite store, local bookstore credit, Languera store Gift Card (lasenza), local chocolate store or simple favorite ice-cream from Grocery Store. For the real big spender there are lots of local jewelers for pretty shiny rings and necklaces.
Creative meaningful Idea: Make a coupon book for a year of redeemable coupons like 12 massages, or any other romantic activities you both enjoy together.
