Cupid is making his rounds just in time for Valentine’s Day, and Polk’s local businesses have gifts, cards, and candies that promise to make Feb. 14 unforgetta­ble for anyone hit by an arrow.

Those who like to celebrate traditiona­lly can visit Bussey’s. The store has an entire section of goods dedicated to Valentine’s, and the current best- selling bouquet is the “Loving Gaze” which consists of red roses and white lilies in a red vase. The flowers cost $99.95, and gifts such as chocolates, balloons, and stuffed animals can be added to the order for an additional fee.

Bussey’s offers several other bouquets at different prices with the lowest price hitting $54.95. The store makes it easy to surprise a loved one with its delivery service.

Patrons can visit Bussey’s from 8:30 a.m. through 5:30 p.m. on Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. through 3 p.m. on Saturday at Cedartown’s 302 Main St. More informatio­n can be found at http://www.busseysflo­rist.com/.

Smith- Lockwood is a solid place to stock up on cards and other gifts. Whether you like them blank or decorated from top to bottom, the store has something customers can send to any loved one.

A standard Valentine’s Card will cost approximat­ely $ 2-$ 5, but the price increases with fancier designs and sizes. The shop also offers a variety of jewelry and casual gift items that can be appreciate­d by anyone, and Smith-Lockwood is offering 70 percent off select gift items during February.

The shop is open from 8 a.m. through 7 p.m. on Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. through 3 p.m. on Saturday at Rockmart’s 114 S. Marble St. More informatio­n can be found at https://www.facebook.com/ SmithLockw­ood-Drug-Jewel-ry -3240576742­99029/.

West Cinema Theater has dedicated February to love-themed movies, and popular titles like ‘Lady and the Tramp,’ ‘The Princess Diaries,’ and ‘Forever My Girl’ will be playing throughout the month. While the theater has not yet decided which movies will play on Valentine’s Day, patrons are promised the films will fit the holiday. Tickets are $6.50 each unless otherwise stated.

Dining out is a special part of many people’s Valentine’s Day, and The Steak House promises to end the holiday by filling stomachs.

The restaurant specialize­s in steaks, but they serve chicken, salads, seafood, and much more. Entrees range anywhere from $12 to $23, but The Steak House offers spacious room and a highclass atmosphere with meals.

Valentine’s falls on a Wednesday, so the restaurant will have home cooked meats and vegetables available as part of the weekly special.

Patrons can visit from 4:30 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday, 4: 30 to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 11 a.m. through 9 p.m. on Sunday at Rock mart’ s 414 Baldwin Rd. More informatio­n can be found at http:// www. thesteakho­usega.com/.
