Celebrate Valentine's Day Locally in Dexter

Keep your dollars in town while celebrating Valentine's Day with your loved ones this year.

 

As Valentine’s Day draws near, we always seem to be constricted by that suffocating question of “What do I buy?” Luckily, local businesses around Dexter have alleviated the stress of Valentine’s Day to make it easy and enjoyable. Here is just a sample of some ideas for that special someone.

Sweet Treats

If your significant other has a sweet tooth, head over to Stucchi's of Dexter for some handmade gourmet chocolates. For those looking for a more traditional selection, the Dexter Bakery offers an assortment of cookies, pies and baked goods. Check out our Valentine's candy price comparison and stop by Country Market and Busch's to pick up a variety of candy (both sugar and sugar free) for the big day. Little Green Apple and Dexter Pharmacy are also both selling boxed candy and other goodies.

Jewelry

Last-minute shoppers are sure to find something pleasing from The Jewerly Box Boutique to bring home to their loved ones. Browse the boutique's selection of purses and handmade jewelry in a variety of designs. The boutique is open Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from noon to 7 p.m.; 1 to 5 p.m. on Saturdays; and Sundays by appointment.
