There’s no dodging Cupid’s arrow — Valentine’s Day is here. Whether you’re celebrating your friendships or sugaring up your sweetheart, we’ve got last-minute Valentine’s Day ideas that will have you loving love.

🌵 Get fantastical with botanicals

If you’re quick, you might have your pick of bouquets using same-day flower delivery. (We’re eyeing those locally designed arrangements.)

Or, get creative and nab a potted plant from these plant spots. Nothing says forever like a hardy succulent.

      🥂 Keep spirits up

      If you didn’t score reservations, don’t overthink… grab a drink. The following spots have weekday happy hours:

      • Cane Rosso | Monday-Friday, 3-6 p.m. | Take advantage of $5 house wines, $2 off house cocktails and pizza specials.
      • Maestro Tacos | Monday-Friday, 3-6 p.m. | Pair delicious $2 tacos with a $7 house marg, or split a $35 margarita pitcher.
      • Cowtown Brewing Co. | Monday-Wednesday, 5-9 p.m. | This deal is double-the-trouble with $2 off all appetizers + Cowtown drafts.For more options, check out our happy hour guide.

      🌟 Go stargazing

      It doesn’t get much more idyllic than bundling up and looking at the stars. Grab some blankets (and maybe a hot drink) and head to one of these spots away from man-made light to take in the sky.
