There’s no dodging Cupid’s arrow — Valentine’s Day is here. Whether you’re celebrating your friendships or sugaring up your sweetheart, we’ve got last-minute Valentine’s Day ideas that will have you loving love.

🌵 Get fantastical with botanicals

If you’re quick, you might have your pick of bouquets using Floom, an online marketplace that partners with florists that deliver locally.

Or, get creative and nab a potted plant from these plant spots. Nothing says forever like a hardy succulent.

Or check out our roundup of local plant stores.

🥂 Keep spirits up

If you didn’t score reservations, don’t overthink… grab a drink. The following spots have weekday happy hours:

  • Devils River Whiskey | Daily, 4-6 p.m. | If you love whiskey, head on over to this distillery for $3 off house cocktails + $1 off neat pours.
  • Halcyon | All day Monday, Tuesday-Sunday from 2-6 p.m. + 8-11 p.m. | Get boozy with $6 coffee cocktails like the Long Island Iced Coffee (there is a limit of two) + $6 bites.

For more options, check out our happy hour guide.

🌟 Go stargazing

It doesn’t get much more idyllic than bundling up and looking at the stars. Grab some blankets (and maybe a hot drink) and head to one of these spots away from man-made light to take in the sky.
