Whether it’s flowers, chocolate, cakeballs, or a high-five, Valentine’s Day is as good a reason as any to spoil your significant other. Also, if you can support a small business at the same time, then it may be well worth the pageantry to step up your game this year.

Here’s a few staff favorites from Heliopolis:

Meghan Awalt Floral Design.

Meghan Awalt Floral Designs has a popup at Buttercups Cupcakes selling arrangements for $50 and the more affordable mini-bouquets while supplies last. Pre-Order Your Arrangement
or pick up February 14th from 10am-6pm.

The Nouveau Wedding located downtown on Texas Street thinks that She Deserves Flowers and is offering bouquets at $50, $80, and $125 increments. PLUS the first five pre-orders get free delivery. [Order Here!]

You can also support your local florist at LaBloom, Flower Power, or Broadmoor Florist too!

Thinking about chocolates? Visit The Chocolate Crocodile located at the Boardwalk or Chocolate Pineapple for something special. But let’s admit it, we all still want a kingcake. Head to Julie Anne’s Bakery and grab one or some more traditional VDay fare.

Finally, if you’re thinking local jewelry, drop into The Agora Borealis and surprise your significant other with a ring or necklace made by a local artist.
