Can't think of something special to give that special someone for Valentine's Day? If you do a little digging for information, it isn't hard to find gifts ranging from the usual to the unique right here in Hillsboro.
Some downtown eateries are sweetening up the holiday with extra-tasty complimentary cream puffs (with purchase of a meal), special orders for Valentine cookies on a stick, and a Valentine's Coffee House (held on Feb. 16 with live youth bands entertaining folks).
Grocery stores in Hillsboro are offering the usual Valentine cards, candy, and baked goods. One store is holding a drawing for a Valentine meal and running a special on rib-eye beef steaks, while the other is focusing on offering customers fresh cut roses among numerous other items.
Specialty stores have a variety of treasures to choose from, including inspirational books, gourmet chocolates, Valentine balloons, scented candles, special cards, stuffed animals, special collectible china-ware, Valentine mugs, vases, heart-shaped picture frames, gift soaps, and lotions plus jewelry.
Whew! Does that make you tired (guys?) or do these lists make you want to get busy shopping (gals?)? Whatever category you fall into, enjoy shopping in Hillsboro for Valentine's Day!
