Get a Jump on Valentine's Day Shopping

Yes, it’s already February 2, and so you have 12 days to figure out what to get the love of your life, or that new person you just started dating as Valentine’s Day is right around the corner.

So Patch wants to help out and remind you of a few places right in town where you can find the perfect gift:

You can never go wrong with a gift certificate if the recipient is someone you’re just starting to know. The village boasts more than a few salons and nail establishments that offer everything from facials to pedicures to body massages. Eternal: The Spa is a great place to start.

If your loved one is a huge beach person or surfer, then hit Bunger’s to get the latest in gear and apparel. Summer will show up eventually.

For those who love a good smoke, the Cigar Factory is the perfect choice to treat that special someone to something they wouldn’t splurge on. You can even get it customized.

Treat your loved one to a little summer sun with a tanning session. It’ll put a glow on their face and some much needed vitamin D in their system. But don’t go crazy. Tanning beds aren’t great for the skin afterall. But a little dose of sunshine is never a bad thing.

A makeup session is always good, and we’re not talking about kissing and hugging. The Makeup Studio offers professional makeup services and top shelf cosmetics.
