Valentine’s Day is about more than just chocolate — although it’s easy to appreciate the fact that chocolate is packed with natural antioxidants! Look to Seward Co-op for a living gift, such as local and sustainably grown roses from Len Busch and Jasmine wreaths, azalea trees, orchids and cyclamen. On the afternoon of Valentine’s Day, Thursday, Feb. 14, we’ll offer complimentary bouquet wrapping near the floral cooler. Locally made valentines by Miriam Simmons and Nora Alice are right there, too. Pair one with a bouquet, and you’ve got a lovely gift for your sweetheart.
Recipes for a romantic home-cooked dinner are available in-store, and we’re featuring deals with recipes on all the popular cuts from local suppliers Hill & Vale, Grass Run Farm, and the Lamb Shoppe. Don’t forget our fresh selection of seafood, and consider creating a surf ‘n’ turf feast for your sweetheart.
Seeking for an alternative to mainstream cartoon valentines? Check out Equal Exchange‘s boxed set of valentines & mini chocolates, for kids and kids at heart.
Use Valentine’s Day to indulge in something rich, decadent and irresistible: a triple-cream brie fits the bill beautifully! Delice de Bourgogne and St. Angel are great choices. To really say “I love you,” however, go for a wedge of Cowgirl Creamery’s Mt. Tam or Brillat Savarin from France.
Look and feel your best on this holiday of love. We have all the products that will help you look appealing, from cosmetics to hair care. Check out the many herbs available that can help get you in that romantic mood, too. One popular option is maca, which is good both for sexual vitality (regardless of gender) and great for energy and stamina. So whether you are an athlete or a Casanova (or both!) you might give maca a go and see what it will do for you.
