Feel the Love!
This blog was written by ADI's own Marketing Director, Anne Wiegman!
I’m a huge fan of Valentine’s Day. In fact, I was married on Valentine’s Day. So it probably comes as no surprise that over the years, I tend to give everyone a valentine of some kind; a card, a sweet treat, or a thoughtful little something. I’m pleased to say that now that I work for Appleton Downtown Inc., I believe the Downtown shops have the perfect something for everyone on your list. Whether you want jewelry, candy, flowers, cards, candles, a new outfit, or a piece of artwork, you’ll find it Downtown. In addition to the standard fare, how about thinking outside the box and picking up a new accessory for the biking enthusiast who is itching to get out on the road? Or what about a new cigar for your honey? You could pick up fresh ingredients or dessert for a special meal at the Farm Market this Saturday inside City Center. While you are there you’re sure to find some fun little surprises for others on your list like a handcrafted wood bowl or warm woolen mittens!
Of course, if you are still stuck on what to get, Downtown Appleton gift certificates fit perfectly every time. They are good for 5 years at over 150 businesses Downtown and along the Riverfront so they really are ideal for anyone!
This year some of the businesses in Downtown Appleton have decided to share a little LOCAL LOVE as well.
