For Your Valentine

As you prepare to embrace that special someone in your life, we’ve assembled a no-excuses smooch worthy gift-guide from our own En Jay businesses.

What’s a hot date without a hot car? Englewood-based Gotham Dream Cars (www.gothamdreamcars.com) has the ultimate gift for anyone who dreams of driving a Ferrari, Lamborghini or Bently but can’t afford to buy one. Pricing starts at $449 per day and includes amenities such as no refueling requirement, complementary tolls and GPS.

Georgie Girl Boutique (www.georgiegirlboutique.com) in Haddonfield is featuring its Bring Your Sexy Back Valentine’s specials. Keep your love alive with a large selection of new intimate apparel to fit most bodies!
Old-fashioned gestures of love never go out of style especially when they’re packaged with chocolate. The Bodega Shoppe in Asbury Park (www.bodegashoppe.com) carries an exclusive line of Maison Bouche chocolate like the Les Petits Coeurs: mini hearts artfully wrapped in an 18th century style love letter package and come scented with fleur d’oranger in dark chocolate or rose in milk chocolate.

While you’re in Asbury Park, breathe some creativity into a custom blown glass valentine at Hot Sand (http://www.hotsandap.com/). Make the unique piece yourself with the aid of a master glassblower or pick from a gallery of hand-made glass hearts.

Here’s an alternative to chocolate: the “Cheese of the Month” club from Sickles Market in Little Silver (http://www.sicklesmarket.com) is the perfect gift. With a pound of 3 unique cheeses elegantly packaged with tasting notes and descriptions by the resident “Cheese Lady,” this unique gift will offer a tasty surprise all year!

A Valentines Day treat for all moms: “Mother’s Name” bracelet by New Jersey jewelry designer Nicole Vazquez: http://www.nicolevazquezjewelry.com/mothers-name-bracelet--6mm-bea.html

Surprise your better half with tickets to Love Letters, at Morristown’s Mayo Center featuring husband and wife performers Jill Eichenberry and Michael Tucker (www.mayoarts.org/indiv/indiv_loveletters.htm). There’s a special performance on February 14th, which includes a VIP reception and dessert with the stars.
