Sure, the historic snow storm that teared through the region could be used as an excuse to why you didn't get a superb Valentine's Day gift for your significant other, but, it's a stretch, and why bother going through the hassel?

Head downtown Andover today and net a perfect, one-of-a-kind gift for your Valentine. 

GIFTS FOR HIM

1. SOMETHING TO WARM UP HIS COLD WINTER NIGHTS

Consider a fine sipping liquor for your gentleman. Andover Liquors and Fine Wines can recommend something great, including old favorites, new finds, and a few distilled locally.

2. THE WRITE IDEA

Helen Thomas Simply Smashing offers fine pens for all his important hand-written documents, which with any hope will include a love letter or two – to you!

3. AHHHH!

Consider the gift of relaxation and stress relief with a 60-minute gift certificate for a massage. Try Elements Therapeutic Massage, Kismet, or Andover Massage Therapy.

4. LET THE SUN SHINE IN

Optici offers an extensive line of fashionable and functional sunglasses to frame every face. Surprise him with a gift that promises sunny days ahead!

5. THE WAY TO A MANS HEART…

Why cook? Select a fine Italian cuisine from newly opened Salvatore's or a selection of treats from Sweet Mimi's Chocolate. Light the candles and voila! Romance.

GIFTS FOR HER

1. AHHHHH!

Treat her to a luxurious day of beauty at Phillip Ciampa Salon and Day Spa.

2. BIG THINGS IN LITTLE PACKAGES

Sense of Wonder offers affordable trinkets for every style. Choose a delicate necklace or some funky new earrings; she’ll be thrilled at the site of the little pink package!

3. CUDDLE UP

Why go out on a cold winter’s night? Instead surprise her with a romantic movie from the Red Box at Stop & Shop. Haul out the blankets, turn down the lights and settle in for a night of romantic movie magic.

4. PRETTY AS A PICTURE
Give her something as beautiful as she is. Consider a piece of original art from Alpers Fine Art. Choose something from the heart and hers will be delighted.

5. CAN’T FIND THE RIGHT WORDS?

Consider a book of love poems or a classic love story. The folks at The Andover Bookstore have a wide selection of literary gifts to tickle her funny bone or play on her heart strings.

Above all, remember: it's truly the thought that counts!
