5 Very New Jersey Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas

What better way to get out of the gloom of winter for a little while than dreaming about the beach?

Beach badges are already on sale for a number of popular Shore destinations, including Brick, Manasquan, and Seaside Heights among others!

That's right, I said doughnuts.

If you and your Valentine both love sweets but have had it with heart shaped boxes of sub-par chocolates, why not bring home a box of doughnuts from one of Ocean County's second to none shops?

Sure, you can take your Valentine's Day date to a fancy restaurant and have any old dinner where there's more kinds of silverware on the table than actual food.

Or you could take the fact that we're at the Jersey Shore and enjoy some local specialties!

From the best pizza places in the state to boardwalk delights, why not pass right by the dishes with unpronounceable names at restaurants that you'll have to take out a home equity loan to afford and instead grab some authentic Shore grub?

Obviously it's too early to know what the weather will be like on February 14th, but if Mother Nature cooperates why not bring your special someone to one of our amazing local nature destinations?

Outstanding beaches? We got 'em!

Award winning nature trails? They're right here too!

You don't have to go far for a nice walk outside in Ocean County. Maybe you'll even catch the perfect romantic sunset.

If you're the creative type, there are plenty of ways to get crafty and make your Valentine a Shore themed gift.

For starters, there are plenty of unique and memorable things that you could make to include some sand from your sweetheart's favorite beach.
