Valentine’s Day is the holiday which we show our loved ones how much we care. However, if you’re not prone to romantic sentiments, it can be one of the most stressful days of the year. Finding the right activities for your valentine isn’t easy, but don’t worry, we’re here to help. We created a guide for the perfect Valentine’s Day in Milford, DE.

Chocolate

No one knows how chocolates became a part of the Valentine’s Day tradition, but regardless, it’s an important recipe for the perfect day. The Sugar Bee’s Sweet Boutique is your destination for tasty and decorative chocolate that wasn’t mass produced in a factory. Get your lover something special like chocolate truffles, chocolate-covered pretzels, or caramel-covered marshmallows, courtesy of Sugar Bee’s Sweet Boutique.

Flowers

Another important part of the Valentine’s Day experience is the flowers. Your valentine will love getting a floral arrangement delivered to them at work or home. It’s a nice thought that’ll warm their heart, so you’ll need to choose your flowers carefully.

Luckily, Country Flowers at Milford Plant & Garden Center is there to help you find the perfect arrangement. They’ve designed several arrangements specifically for Valentine’s Day that you can choose from. Or, if you’re creative, you can design your own bouquet or arrangement and have it delivered to that special someone.

Massage

There’s nothing quite as relaxing as a massage, so send your valentine to Milford Massage, Wellness and Yoga. Schedule them a Swedish/Relaxation massage, a Deep Tissue/Deep Pressure Massage, or a Hot Stone Massage. A professional massage will not only put your valentine at ease, but the relaxation will add a nice dose of serenity to their day. You could even go together and relax and enjoy yourselves as you prepare for the rest of the night.

Dinner and Dancing

Dinner is one of the most important items on the Valentine’s Day itinerary, and choosing the right place is extremely important. You’ve surely heard of Abbott’s Grill in Milford, but have you had a chance to dine and taste some of their offerings? Why not make Valentine’s Day perfect by making a reservation for dinner?

This eatery offers a classy interior with cozy nooks and booths that are great for a romantic dinner. Start the evening off right with some appetizers like the Baked Oysters Asiago, the Warm Crab & Artichoke Dip, or the Crispy Calamari. When it’s time for dinner, you have some serious decisions to make, with choices like Pan Roasted Chicken, Brisket Pot Roast, Cajun Meatloaf, or Prosciutto Wrapped Cod. Save room for dessert, or burn some calories by dancing.

Now that you’ve read our list for the perfect Valentine’s Day, you’ll be relieved to know you won’t run out of fun ideas for this special day. Make sure you place your orders and make your reservations early, as many others will get the same idea.

There was a time and place in which a young driver’s first car was a rust-bucket, hand-me-down, fixer-upper, embarrassment of a vehicle. The only upside to purchasing this car was the automotive education received from its constant repair.

Fortunately, the 2017 Ford Fiesta is reasonably priced enough for the first-time new-car buyer to afford, yet sleek and sporty enough for the young car owner to enjoy.

Starting with the economic limits of the new buyer driving to their first “real” job, the new Ford Fiesta has a starting price at an astonishingly reasonable $13,660. And there are enough available features (SYNC 3 with SYNC AppLink, push-button start, rearview camera) to satisfy any tech-savvy driver. For leaner budgets, the Fiesta is also a pleasure at the gas pump, offering a whopping 27 mpg city and 35 mpg highway, making the purchase of the 2017 Ford Fiesta over a questionable used option a no-brainer!

Living in Delaware, we’re no strangers to the challenges of living in a cold climate; snow, ice, and freezing temperatures can make driving dangerous and uncomfortable in the winter months. Lucky for us, Ford engineers were inspired to problem-solve cold weather problems for drivers in places such as Canada following the Polar Vortex in 2013; they found out that what drivers really wanted was heated everything! The 2017 Ford Explorer with the available Cold Weather Package offers drivers the conveniences that really count in icy climates such as heated driver and passenger seats, heated steering wheel, heated side mirrors, supplemental powertrain conditioning heater, and the Ford-exclusive Windshield Wiper De-Icer. This clever tool uses a heating element in the windshield wipers to enable quick defrosting of the windshield and wiper blades in as little as 10 minutes in temperatures at minus 18 Fahrenheit. You may wonder how you ever got along without it! Stop by Winner Ford in Dover, DE to test drive the 2017 Ford Explorer and find out more about the features available on the Cold Weather Package.

The most wonderful time of the year is almost upon us, and there’s a great deal to be done. You’ve probably been running around town getting your shopping done in time for the holidays, but have you ever considered participating in fun holiday-themed activities for the family? Winter WonderFEST is currently happening now until January 1st , so if you need to find some fun-filled adventures for the family to get into the Christmas spirit, you should check out some of this festival’s offerings. To help you decide if you want to go, here are our five reasons to attend the Winter WonderFEST.

1. Fun Activities for the Whole Family

One of the most important factors to the holidays is spending time with family. But you don’t have to sit around talking about the weather. You can check out the various attractions at the Winter WonderFEST, including the Christmas Village, located at the Cape May-Lewes Ferry Terminal Grounds. This attraction is loaded with both indoor and outdoor activities. Take a ride on the Ferris wheel, go ice skating, or get warm by the fire before you go inside to check out Santa’s Workshop. There are also craft tables where you and your family can make your own gingerbread houses, snow globes, and ornaments to hang on your tree.

2. Meeting Santa

Santa Claus himself will be at the festival. It’s your chance to take the little ones so they can give him their Christmas lists. You can even take pictures with Santa, so you’ll have keepsakes to remind you of how much fun the family had at the Winter WonderFEST.

3. The Unique and Memorable Experience

There are so many different activities to do or trips to take during the holiday season. But after a while, they become dull and routine like standing in line at the mall to meet Santa, or walking around the neighborhood to see the lights and decorations. Do something original this year and take the family out to the Winter WonderFEST, where there are activities that everyone can enjoy.

4. Light Spectacular

The Light Spectacular is unlike any other light show you’ve seen. The great thing is that this light show occurs every Thursday through Sunday at the Cape Henlopen State Park Fee Booth. You can walk through the illuminated pathways to see some interesting and fun designs to help brighten your holiday spirit.

5. Help Others during the Holidays

At the Winter WonderFEST, you’ll have the chance to help others have a wonderful holiday. Each night at the Light Spectacular, you’ll have the opportunity to donate a non-perishable food item to the Food Bank of Delaware. You can even donate money to the Festival of Cheer Fund, which will use your donation to award grants to nonprofits that serve Sussex County for education, environment, healthcare, arts, and culture. Help make others have a great holiday, too.

The Winter WonderFEST is sure to be great time. Get your tickets and have fun with your family before this festival ends on January 1st .
