Last Minute Valentine's Day Gift Ideas: Him and Her

It's better late than never when it comes to Valentine's Day gifts. Here are some ideas for presents you can pick up in Evanston today.

GIFTS FOR HIM

1. SOMETHING TO WARM UP THOSE COLD WINTER NIGHTS...

Consider a fine sipping liquor for your gentleman. Someone at Few Spirits, WineStyles, Vinic Wine Company or The Wine Goddess can probably recommend the perfect beverage.

2. CARS

If you're not sure what your guy would like, a nice gift certificate to one of Evanston's local auto stores could work, too.

3. THE WAY TO A MANS HEART…

Why bother cooking? Take the easy route and reserve your spot for a gourmet dinner at one of Evanston's many restaurants. For something extra special, consider Davis Street Fishmarket, Pete Miller's Seafood & Prime Steak, Quince Restaurant, The Celtic Knot Public House, Pensiero Ristorante, Union Pizzeria, Tapas Barcelona or the Stained Glass Wine Bar.

GIFTS FOR HER

1. BIG THINGS IN LITTLE PACKAGES

You can't go wrong with jewelry. Check out Eve J Alfille Gallery & Studio, Cottage Jewelry, Virag Jewelers, See Jane Sparkle or The Mexican Shop for a great gift she will love.

2. DAY OF RELAXATION

Give her a day of relaxation with a gift certificate to an area salon or spas. There are plenty to choose from locally. 

3. GO TRADITIONAL WITH FLOWERS or CHOCOLATES 

If you are looking for specialty chocolates, check out Piron on Main Street, or use our directory to look up the florist closest to you. 

Above all, remember: it's truly the thought that counts!
