Get creative with this year’s Valentine’s Day gifts

Social suggested post: Flowers and chocolate are the obvious choices for Valentine’s Day, but if you are looking for something different, check out what these Downtown St. Cloud businesses have to offer. 

Flowers and chocolates are the obvious choices for Valentine’s Day. Make sense. Flowers are beautiful – you can pick up some gorgeous flowers at Green Thumb Etc. – and chocolates are delicious. It’s a win-win. But, sometimes, a creative personalized gift will put you in that next-level gift giver category. And who doesn’t want that on Valentine’s Day?

Here are our suggestions for some awesome Downtown St. Cloud Valentine’s Day gifts. 

Socks are the new box of chocolate

Boring socks are out. Fun socks are in. Copper Pony has a fantastic selection of funny, sweet, nerdy, and snarky socks. No matter who your Valentine is, you are sure to find something that fits them here. We’re kinda obsessed with these “Pretty Decent Boyfriend” socks. 

Playing games with the heart

Game nights are an excellent activity for groups of friends, family, or just the two of you. Paddy’s Game Shoppe has a game for everyone. Not sure what you want? Just find Gino, the owner, and let him find you your next favorite game. One of his Valentine’s Day picks is Hearts of Attraction. It’s a fun family game with heart-shaped magnets.  

Treat yourself

Are you looking for something sweet but don’t want to do the traditional chocolates? Pick up some delicious Dolsie’s cupcakes. You’ll want to grab these early as they tend to sell out pretty quickly. Some of their popular mouth-watering flavors are Death by Chocolate, Wedding Cake, Peanut Butter Twist, and Strawberry Delight. I’m not drooling; you are!

Sweet Miss and Mister 

Breweries are a trendy place to go to enjoy a Sweet Miss stout with your Sweet Miss or Sweet Misster. Or grab a flight and try up to 6 beers. You can also grab a growler to go if you’d prefer to share a drink at home. Either way, this is sure to be a hit. 

A little R & R

Sometimes the best gift is the gift of rest and relaxation. Manta Salon and Spa offers various packages for both couples and singles. I don’t know about you, but a hot stone massage, hydrating facial, and Vinylux spa pedicure sound perfect right about now. I’m feeling relaxed already.
