Well gents, Valentine's Day is almost upon us. Hopefully you've made your reservations for her favorite restaurant a good month or two in advance because if not, you may be in some trouble. If you find yourself unable to get a reservation, you could always make it up to the special lady in your life by having a cozy, romantic night in. I've compiled several last minute gifts to help sweeten the deal for her, many of which are available locally so you don't have to sweat about it arriving on time.
Peg's Hardware Limited Edition Buffalo Necklace - Naturally your lady is a Buffalo girl, and some jewelry on Valentine's Day is never a bad idea. This limited edition necklace by local company Peg's Hardware features a miniature Buffalo below a hand stamped 716 pendant. Adding to the uniqueness of the necklace is each one comes with a print by a local artist. This one here features Buffalo Dandy favorite Alixandra Martin. Available at Blue Collar. $60
Whiskey Kisses Sweater - Let's face it, if your girl knows you at all, she is more than familiar with a whiskey flavored kiss. Get her this distressed, comfy crew neck by Chaser so that she may tell the world she prefers her kisses with a side of whiskey. If you're lucky, you may be getting a few of those flavored kisses from her as well. Available at Tony Walker $80
Lovage: Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By - If you're not familiar with this epic, EPIC album by Nathaniel Merriweather then allow me to make the proper introductions. This tongue and cheek trip hop album is the perfect background music for a romantic, candle light evening for two. Put this album on (preferably on vinyl although expensive as balls if you're able to get it, but Spotify will do) and let the music do its thing. $500 or Free
Alethea's Moulin Rouge Chocolate Package - Alethea's is famous for their confectionary masterpieces and Valentine's Day is kind of a big day for them. With several romantically-themed packages to choose from, this Moulin Rouge themed one is our favorite. Sultry and sexy... sound like someone you know? Available at Alethea's Chocolates $25
L.L.Bean Wicked Good Mocs - If you've noticed, we haven't have the warmest of weather in Buffalo lately. While it's not great for travel, it does provide the perfect excuse to stay inside and keep each other warm. These wicked good mocs from L.L.Bean will leave her feet warm while you focus on the other areas. No guarantee that you'll get these by Valentine's Day, but you could always get rush delivery. Available at L.L.Bean's online shop. $70
Moet Chandon Champagne - Moet is always a favorite of mine because it's a nice, higher-end champagne that's still affordable. Now that she's slipped into her whiskey sweater, tried some chocolate and the Lovage album is on, all that's left to do is light some candles and sip some bubbly in the dark together. What happens from there is up to you... Available at Gates Circle $50
