In case you forgot to check the calendar, your partner requested that we remind you that Valentine’s Day is just days away. Maybe you got swept away with the Super Bowl or buried in work, but February 14 is fast approaching. Not to worry! We curated a list of great gifts that will make your partner’s heart go thump…
Score Brownie Points
If your partner is madly in love with chocolate, check out this special Valentine’s gourmet brownie sampler from Vermont Brownie Company. It comes in two choices of packaging and is filled with six decadent brownies: walnut chunk, peanut butter, triple chocolate chunk blondie, espresso, maple toffee crunch, and the company’s signature original.
Sing (and Sip) Brandy, You’re a Fine Girl
This Valentine’s package at the Kimpton Marlowe Hotel in Cambridge includes an overnight stay for two; warmed Remy Martin 1738 brandy served fireside in the Lobby Bar; in-room amenity featuring brandy chocolate truffles along with Vieux Carré cocktails; and breakfast the next day in Bambara Kitchen & Bar, where Chef David Bazirgan is serving up yummy ricotta pancakes with brandied bananas foster.
Harbor Cruise with Live Jazz
Enjoy Valentine’s Day weekend aboard a Classic Harbor Line’s Aphrodisiacs Tasting Cruise with Live Jazz. As the yacht Northern Lights cruises through the harbor, you and your Valentine will enjoy stunning views of Boston, an intimate three-course meal (paired with bubbles or beer) that includes local oysters, and live jazz music.
Paint the Town Red
Paint the Town Red celebrations welcome sweethearts every weekend in February with a full lineup of romantic culinary experiences scheduled at various properties and restaurants in the Kennebunkport Resort Collection (KRC).

Raise the bar on your Valentine’s Day gift-giving game this year with help from Hampton Water and Winston Flowers. They’re pleased to offer a luxurious gift box that includes Jon Bon Jovi’s rosé, Hampton Water, alongside a cluster of fresh pink roses. What to call this collaboration made in romance heaven? The Bed of Roses gift box, of course!
