From Michigan With Love
by Lisa Diggs
Valentine’s Day is coming up fast (February 14th). Here are some gift ideas that will delight your loved ones and support blossoming Michigan businesses.
Roses are the ultimate romantic flower, and there’s one company in Michigan that’s still growing them. It’s like May in Michigan twelve months a year inside the climate-controlled greenhouses of Michigan Roses. They ship directly, AND because roses are terrific by the bouquet or individually, they always include an extra rose with each dozen for the recipient to enjoy in a bud vase or added to the bouquet.
The Blisstory Journal is a great way to ask loved ones to open up and talk about themselves and their lives. It can be used as a guide for interesting discussions or as a journal with room to write answers to 365 diverse, engaging questions. Thought-provokers range from “If your life were a book, what would the description on the back read?” to “Describe a scent that brings you back to your childhood” to “What does bliss mean to you?”
Men and women alike enjoy this notorious and uproarious tale of King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table, and their quest for the Holy Grail. Winner of the 2005 Tony Award® for Best Musical, Monty Python’s SPAMALOT, is the musical comedy sensation lovingly ripped off from the film classic Monty Python and The Holy Grail. The engagement runs from February 3rd-15th at Detroit’s Fisher Theater.
Whether you’ve been together for two years or two decades, Stop & Kiss is a fun way to get even closer to the one you love. It is a card game that encourages couples to reminisce about great moments in their past, explore how much they know about one another, and even make new discoveries.
Sometimes nothing beats a quiet evening at home. Light a fire, cook a meal for your partner, and accentuate the evening with one of Michigan’s excellent sparkling wines. For expert advice on which to choose, see Joel Goldberg's article.
Escape for some quality time together in this spectacular setting. The special weekend package includes flowers, chocolates, and two Chateau Chantal glasses for the bottle of Naughty Red waiting in the room upon arrival. Breakfast in bed will be delivered to your door on Saturday morning followed with a side-by-side massage, then wine tasting, and topped off with dinner at Old Mission Tavern on Saturday night.
Particularly ideal for newlyweds and families, Remember When is an electronic memory book that makes it easy to capture and save moments, pictures, and quotes that you think you will remember later but then find that you cannot quite recall in detail. It’s a great way to honor and embrace your personal history.
Many of Michigan’s finest B&Bs have special packages available for romantic getaways the weekend before and/or weekend of the holiday. If winter is not your ideal getaway time, consider a gift certificate for a B&B as a promise of spring, summer, or autumn fun to come.
Other perennial favorites include chocolates from Kilwin's or Morley, a couples spa day or gift certificate at local retreats like Spa Julianna or Massage & Wellness or tickets to a Red Wings Game.

How about a house cleaning gift from White Glove Professional Cleaning, Inc. Good for anytime, or occasion? A Michigan company and service.
