Whether you are looking for gift ideas, food, places to go, or something special to do at home…this is the list for you!
Unique Experiences/Date Night Ideas
I can almost guarantee that you haven’t heard of this one before, and I am SO excited to be the one to introduce you!
A stylishly luxurious evening; a posh townhouse, charcuterie, bubbles + more!
This unique concept was created by Megan Seeley and is hosted out of her townhouse a few miles from Downtown Rochester. Food and beverage is her passion. She has been in the industry her whole life, but was laid off from her dream job in April of 2020. Her favorite thing to do outside of marketing for food and beverage is to host & entertain.
This is how Parlor was born!
This isn’t just dining out…this is an experience.
Exclusive food and beverage packages available for groups of 2-6 people.
Please email parlorrochester@gmail.com or call directly 248.672.3804 to receive all options and book your sitting room today.
Limited availability Feb 11-14

Royal Park Hotel (Rochester Hills)
Experience the Love Local Package or a Discounted Room with my link!
The Love Local Package is going on for the entire month of February (Wed-Sun)…so you can pick a day that works best for you!
With the package, you get a bottle of prosecco, a box of handmade Belgian chocolates from local Downtown Rochester company Zoet, and a $40 food and beverae voucher to Park 600 (the restuarant at the hotel).
If you’re being budget conscious, you can book here with my link for a discount! You won’t get the Love Local Package, but you can definitely still create your own special experience. Plus, the bars and restuarants in Downtown Rochester will be opening on Feb 1st! You can have a fun/wild night out on the town and walk back to your hotel room 🙂
You can read more about my stay at the Royal Park Hotel HERE.

A “Fresh” Take On Flowers
Wish that bouquet of Valentine’s roses could last a year?
Well, now they can!
Why not give preserved roses a try?
Preserved roses last for a year (if not longer). It’ll be the gift that keeps giving 🙂 It also makes for beautiful home decor too!
