Let us help with the Valentine’s idea that will make their day.

 

Who isn’t afraid of being that guy who wakes up on Valentine’s Day, realizes what day it is and ends up at the gas station buying the saddest looking bouquet in town paired with a king-size Hershey’s bar. You know how important that special someone is to you. Let them know it too by taking a little extra time to elevate your Valentine’s Day gift from a token of appreciation to a declaration of love. Here are a few ideas that we can help you with at McDonald Niklaus:

• Flowers and Chocolate are, of course, the most traditional route for a Valentine’s Day gift. But let’s take it to the next level. First of all, pre-order a bouquet from an independent, local florist like Baker Florist in Dover. Their livelihood depends on making sure that they take care of each and every customer in an entirely different way than a grocery store clerk. After the flowers, up your chocolate game. Remember the last time you bit into that one gross chocolate in the giant cardboard heart? Instead come into the shop and pick out your own custom selection of Ben Heggy’s chocolates and you’ll know that they’ll love each and every piece
• Get yourself a real card. Anybody can pick up a card from the drug store, but at McDonald Niklaus, we’ve got a whole different class of cards.With a selection hand-made cards and unique cards from Papyrus, they’ll know that you went out of your way to let them know how important they are. These aren’t your run-of-the-mill printed cards. These are built with layers of color and texture to help you express just what you’re trying to say. If you haven’t watched someone ogle and fondle the card you just gave them, you haven’t been giving them our cards.

• Make it unique. One way to demonstrate how much thought you put into someone’s gift is to give them something no one else has. We’ve got lots of unique, local items in the shop, but check out this great Valentine’s idea. These mittens were hand made by a local Dover artist. Her attention to detail really make these a stand-out item. And, of course, very timely. These would make a one-of-a-kind gift that really show that cold hands do make a warm heart.If none of these are quite what you’re looking for, stop in to McDonald Niklaus and we’ll be glad to help you find the perfect thing for the perfect person.
