Valentine's Day Shopping Guide
It's not too late to hit up these local spots for some goodies.
If you still haven't gotten your special someone something for Valentine's Day, don't worry because you still have some time and you don't have to go far to get the sweetest gifts.
Check out some of the deals we found around town and tell us where you got your gifts this year in the comments.
Candy and Chocolate
- One of the more obvious choices of where to stop for Valentine's Day is the Hallmark store and Lyn Gift Shop on Atlantic Ave. Hallmark has a big selection of chocolate boxes from Russell Stover and Godiva, as well as plenty of stuffed animals and cards.
- The Sweet Peace is well-known for their specialty cakes, but they also make some pretty sweet cupcakes. Our favorite was the Dozen Roses cupcakes, for $20 for a dozen. The cupcakes will be freshly made on Tuesday.
- Also check out the Prosperi Bakery for cookies and sweets, and Jeanie's Bakery in East Rockaway, located at 59 Main Street.
Flowers
- Flowers by Freyhammer on Hempstead Ave. is ready for Valentine's Day. They've got plenty of roses in stock as well as tulips and a bunch of stuffed animals.
- Other florists around town to check out are Flowers by Kelly & Co. and Mormile Florist in Rockville Centre. Dee's Nursery in Oceanside is another local option if you are in the area.
Jewelry
- Lyn Gift Shop has necklaces, Valentine's Day bears, bracelets and more.
- Also check out Lavalier, Master Craft Jewelry Co., Unicorn Jewels, and Zaraz Collection NY.
