More Valentine’s Day Delights

Posted by The Editorial Desk / Monday, February 1st, 2010

Good morning, shoppers! Here’s hoping you all had a great weekend and avoided cabin fever on what turned out to be quite the snowy Saturday. Just in case your shoveling and salting kept you from other tasks like coming up with a fun Valentine’s Day surprise for your sweetie, I just had to share a few of the romance-focused deals that I’ve discovered since Devon’s super-informative post on the subject last week.

First of all, when it comes to rolling out V-day delights, Reston Town Center is certainly up to the task. Just a few of the starry-eyed specials being offered there in honor of the holiday:

Appalachian Spring is offering gift wrapping Friday, Feb. 12, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday, Feb. 13, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and even on V-day, Sunday, Feb. 14, from noon to 4 p.m. — presented by and benefiting Kids R First.

On Saturday, Feb. 13, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Midtown Jewelers will be offering shoppers a yummy homemade chocolate treat and single long-stemmed red rose with any purchase of $25 or more. That evening, from 6 to 10 p.m., horse-drawn carriage rides will also be offered at RTC. The pickup spot is in front of Talbots on Market St.  The cost is just $5 per person (kids under age 5 are free) and benefits Relay for Life.

Plus, should you believe that nothing says romance like French food and wine, you may be excited to find out that Mon Ami Gabi is hosting a special V-day Pajama Brunch. Wear your PJs to the restaurant on V-day to receive a gift card equal to the amount you spent on brunch, to be redeemed the next time you visit.

Of course, there are lots of holiday deals to love online, too. For example, calvinklein.com is currently offering free shipping on men’s and women’s underwear, and mypublisher.com is offering a free copy of each photo book purchased through Feb. 10, with the promotional code “VAL241″.
