Local Valentine's Day Gift Ideas

If you live in Stow, there’s no excuse for not picking up some kind of Valentine’s Day gift for the loved ones in your life. After all, the city is a retail mecca – and you’ve got some time still to execute a plan.

Stumped on where to start? The holiday is typically associated with heart-festooned greeting cards, roses, chocolates and jewelry ... so let’s start there.

Cards and chocolates

Valentine greeting cards and boxed chocolates can be found in just about any drug, grocery or discount store, but if you want the greatest selection, try  on Graham Road or .

Flowers

You could pick up flowers at the grocery store, but your loved one might appreciate a fresher bouquet or arrangement from  on Hudson Drive,  on Graham Road,  on Norton Road or  on Kent Road.

There's still time to order bouquets for delivery too! But, if you wait to the last minute, most prepare holiday-themed arrangements to keep on hand for last-minute shoppers.

Jewelry

While gifts of jewelry are offered in small departments within , ,  and , a wider variety of choices can be found at  and Abshire & Haylan Fine Jewelry, both on Graham Road,  on Kent Road or  on Darrow Road.

Gift Certificates

Most every retailer mentioned here offers gift certificates for those who simply can’t make up their mind or would rather let their loved one choose the best gift.

Think outside the heart-shaped box and buy a gift certificate – or a tangible gift – at places such as hair salons, arts and crafts stores, fitness facilities, garden centers, health food stores and coffee shops. 

All of those places are in Patch's "Places" section.

Dining

Stow is home to myriad restaurants offering just about every type of food imaginable – from tried-and-true American favorites to international cuisine such as Thai, Chinese, Italian and Mexican.

Check out Stow Patch’s handy Directory to consider eateries you haven’t yet tried. Or check out Stow Patch's restaurant reviews on  and .

Does your sweetie like spicy foods or pastas? Search "Mexican" or "Italian" in Patch's directory. Prefer all-American pizza and burgers? Those places can be found in the directory too.

Every business in Stow has a Patch directory listing, so have fun searching ... you may find a new restaurant or business!

Happy Valentine's Day!
