Valentine's Day Gift Ideas

Less than two weeks til Valentine's Day, have you thought about what you're getting your sweetie?  Sure, you could make dinner reservations at any one of Charleston's fine eating establishments. But, why not try something different this year?

Below are a few ideas (strong suggestions if my Mr. is reading 😊 ):

  • Manicure or pedicure- The Water Room, located in the Cigar Factory, 701 East Bay St, Suite 105. Trust me, this is the real deal nail salon.  No strange odors, no frankenchemically made gel polishes or removers.
  • Champagne- Camellias Champagne Bar at Hotel Bennett.  The wait is over! Two decades in the making, Hotel Bennett is open.  And, how spectacular it is! Head over to Camellias Champagne Bar for Valentine's Day and grab a glass (or two) of rosé for $12.  Did I mention that the bar is painted pink??
  • Chocolate- Christophe Artisan Chocolatier, with locations downtown (90 Society St) and in West Ashley (1901 Ashley River Rd), your sweetest dreams have come true. You can't go wrong with a box of artisan chocolates, a chocolate bar, macarons, or some other bakery item.  If you're looking for something that lasts a little longer, consider gifting one of Christophe's classes
  • Adventure- Wild Blue Ropes Adventure Park, 1595 Highland Avenue, James Island.  This is something for the brave...and not so brave.  I've done Wild Blue Ropes several times.  Each time challenging myself to go a little farther and a little higher.  WBR is offering Valentine's Date Night on February 14, 2019 for $50 per couple.
I'm off to get my Valentine's festivities planned.  ðŸ’•
