Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day…a day for love! Every year people load up on cards, perfume, champagne and trinkets for their honeys. More than any other holiday, however, I think V-day sneaks up on you the fastest. Maybe it’s because we are still winding down from the holidays and new years? Whatever the reason, if you are still lacking a gift, I will make your life easier and tell you what we love here in our office…SWEETS!
Now, I’m not talking about the heart shaped box of miscellaneous mystery chocolate. Nothing says “I forgot what today was” like the cherry cordials from the discount rack at Rite-Aid. (And the random card from their already picked over selection). I’m talking about really good, yummy sweet treats. And lucky you, there are so many good places here in Charleston to pick up something delicious! Here are a few spots I suggest you go if you need to surprise someone special in your life. You are sure to impress with something from these places!
59 1/2 Cannon St.
We’ve already blogged on Sugar’s carmel cupcakes in the past. And they are worth mentioning here again! They also make them in mini cupcakes if that seems a bit friendlier to you. Added bonus is their completely adorable packaging that really looks like a present!
73 Spring St.
If your honey likes cookies, this is the spot to get them. They are giants and so delicious!
322 King St.
This is a good spot if the love in your life has a fun, childish side! Retro candies and games line the shelves. You’re sure to find something with a pop of color in any flavor!
4845 Chatau Ave.
North Charleston
We can’t get enough of their salted caramel chocolate bars. They. Are. That. Good. These locals just set up the first store front in North Charleston so you should definitely give them some face time. Your Valentine with be so thankful!!
Whether you are treating someone or yourself this V-day, be sure to shop local and support Charleston!
