Patch Picks: Best Unique Valentine's Day Gifts
Tired of the old card and box of chocolates?
Looking for something a little different for that special someone (or maybe a treat for yourself) this Valentine's Day? Patch has a few suggestions.
- So maybe you're not ready to hand out diamonds for Valentine's Day, but what about a bracelet that holds near and dear to the heart of a native Rhode Islander? Order a unique bracelet made from actual Mt. Hope Bridge and Newport Bridge tokens crafted by a local artist. Contact Ryan at (401) 829-1162 or at kustom53@hotmail.com for more information or to get yours for Valentine's Day. Be sure to mention Patch for a special price of $80 (reg. $100).
- Personalized gifts are truly from the heart. Photo World in downtown Bristol can turn your favorite photos into T-shirts, mouse pads, aprons, glass ornaments, mugs and more for under $20. Pressed for time? Most things can be made the same day.
- According to Edible Arrangements, "nothing says 'I love you' like fruit and chocolate," so go ahead and give that special someone something delicious this Valentine's Day. They offer everything from small chocolate-covered-strawberry bouquets to whole-package larger bouquets that include a teddy bear and balloon. Have it delivered for an additional $12, or pick it up yourself in the .
- What's more special than a gift? Make memories together this weekend at the Sakonnet Vineyards Valentine's Day Weekend wine tasting in Little Compton. Try local wine and treats on Saturday, Feb. 12, or Sunday, Feb. 13, from noon to 3:30 p.m., and bring a bottle home to accompany a romantic candlelit dinner. For more information call 800-998-8486.
- Is your soulmate right around the corner? Will you be expecting a baby soon? Psychic readings by Connie at Magick Mirror Gift Shop, located at 17 State St. in Bristol may shed some light on some of life's unanswered questions. Even if you are a skeptic, look outside the box and share the experience of doing something different together. Readings range from $45 to $80. Call 254-2200 to book a reading.
