You guys, Valentine's Day is right around the corner! We'll take the headache out of preparing for the big day by telling you exactly what you need to do, buy and eat in Rockford to make this V-day one for the record books. 

I think most women would agree with me when I say you get more points for uniqueness and/or creativity on Valentine's Day than you do for spending big bucks. Rockford is home to soooo many awesome locally owned floral shops, jewelry stores and gift shops that finding a unique and thoughtful gift should be easy, but having the date planned is also key. That's where this list comes in...
