Valentine's Day is just two weeks away, and we're here with ideas for some less traditional, more creative ways to spend this consumerism-fueled holiday in and around Detroit.Why it matters: We're not convinced that your lovely date is going to be satisfied with just a heart-shaped box of chocolates and a dinner reservation this year.

The Alo Aura Diffuser is the perfect gift for a yogi or anyone who needs a little extra calm in their life this Valentine’s Day. This easy-to-use diffuser adds a dose of Alo coolness to any room. Don’t forget to add an Alo Moves membership and a set of essential oils.

Even the most impressive home bartenders can fall into a bit of a rut sometimes. Get their creative juices flowing — sometimes with literal juice — with a monthly subscription to Shaker & Spoon. Each box will teach them a few new cocktails, ranging from classic concoctions to inspired seasonal selections.
