Valentine’s Day is Feb. 14 and we’ve got suggestions for your Valentine needs from gifts and shopping to dining specials and even massages.
Gifts and shopping
Shop a variety of specialty retailers and vendors at the Valentine's Day Expo at Williamsburg Premium Outlets on Feb. 4 and 5. The Valentine's Day Expo will be located in the VIP Shoppers Club Lounge (between Pandora and Maidenform near the North Face Outlet.) Hours: Saturday, Feb. 4 from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 5 from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m.
If you are searching for flowers to gift your Valentine, we suggest Morrison’s Flowers (online ordering is available) or Seasons of Williamsburg.
For alternatives to flowers, why not gift an Edible Arrangement or a bottle of wine? For wine, the Williamsburg Winery has a great retail shop, but there’s also The Wine Seller in the Monticello Marketplace. (The Wine Seller also sells cigars and craft beer.)
If you want to purchase jewelry, stop by Goodman & Sons or Laney’s Diamonds and Jewelry.
