Pressed for time, but still want to make a special gesture on this romantic day? Fear not! Cupid still has a few arrows left and you have time to snag one!

Head downtown this morning as soon as the stores open and net a perfect, one-of-a-kind gift for your Valentine. 

GIFTS FOR HIM

1. SOMETHING TO WARM UP HIS COLD WINTER NIGHTS

Consider a fine sipping liquor for your gentleman. Haley’s Wines and Spirits can recommend something great, including old favorites, new finds, and a few distilled locally.

2. THE WRITE IDEA

Scribe offers fine pens for all his important hand-written documents, which with any hope will include a love letter or two – to you!

3. AHHHH!

Consider the gift of relaxation and stress relief with a 60-minute gift certificate for a massage. Try Hand in Hand Massage, Geri Constanza’s Massage, Celestial Body Works, or SeaStone Massage.

4. LET THE SUN SHINE IN

Marblehead Opticians offers an extensive line of fashionable and functional sunglasses to frame every face. Surprise him with a gift that promises sunny days ahead!

5. THE WAY TO A MANS HEART…

Why cook? Select a complete gourmet dinner from Shubie’s or a selection of treats from Stowaway Sweets. Light the candles and voila! Romance.

GIFTS FOR HER

1. AHHHHH!

Treat her to a luxurious day of beauty at Dayle’s European Skin Care & Day Spa. Choose from a variety of packages, including the Sweet Chocolate Stress Release.

2. BIG THINGS IN LITTLE PACKAGES

Bobbles & Lace offers affordable trinkets for every style. Choose a delicate necklace or some funky new earrings; she’ll be thrilled at the site of the little pink package!

3. CUDDLE UP

Why go out on a cold winter’s night? Instead surprise her with a romantic movie from Chet’s Video (we strongly recommend Truly, Madly, Deeply). Haul out the blankets, turn down the lights and settle in for a night of romantic movie magic.

4. PRETTY AS A PICTURE
Give her something as beautiful as she is. Consider a piece of original art from Arnould Gallery. Choose something from the heart and hers will be delighted.

5. CAN’T FIND THE RIGHT WORDS?

Consider a book of love poems or a classic love story. The folks at Spirit of ’76 have a wide selection of literary gifts to tickle her funny bone or play on her heart strings.

Above all, remember: it's truly the thought that counts!
