Dining, Flowers, Jewelry: All You Need for Valentine's Day, Here in Fair Lawn

Need a Valentine's Day gift idea? How about a romantic place to eat?

Lucky thing you live in or near Fair Lawn. Your floral, candy, jewelry and dining needs can all be taken care of within the borough's 5.2 square miles.

Young Paek, owner of Cliff Garden Florist, says “roses are good this year,” and if you stop in for a purchase, he upgrades beyond the price that you pay. “We do many different sorts of roses," he says. And, he gets them from a prime spot: Ecuador. “Ecuador has very high, elevated farms, so that’s why their farms are most suitable for long staying roses," Paek says. "They are pretty and stay longer. This time, we’ve purchased Ecuador premium roses.” An arrangement of a dozen is $70, and anything custom made is an extra charge.

“I always suggest a nice half dozen or three is enough to say I love you,” says Paek. “Also impressiveare roses mixed withother flowers. There are lots of good matches with the roses.”

Both of these locations have the special gift for your sweetheart on this Valentine’s Day. Visit Cards & Kreations for chocolates, special coffee mugs and other basic gifts, while at Daphne’s—a Hallmark Gold Crown Store—a variety of Valentine’s Day cards, candy and plush dolls can be had.

“Forty-two years,” says Joyce Caratozollo when asked how long Bernraps Plaza Jewelers has been in business. “Since 1969.”

And if jewelry is the way you’re leaning, Bernraps is the place to visit, especially since everything in the store is 50 percent off through Valentine’s Day.

“There’s not one thing that is really the most popular,” says Caratozollo. “It’s a little bit of everything: gold, silver and diamonds.”
