There is nothing more classic than a heart-shaped box of chocolates from Johnson Candy Company. This family-owned spot in Hilltop has been a Tacoma staple since 1925 and they’re still cranking out the same mouthwatering sweet treats that Tacomans have loved for decades.

Oh Happy Day Party Shop’s heart balloons are perfect for v-day, their cute gift section is filled with quirky ideas, and their gift wrap supplies make it easy to add that “cherry on top” final touch to your sweetheart’s valentine present.
LeRoy Jewelers

LeRoy Jewelers has been in Downtown Tacoma since 1941, and you can find everything from affordable earrings to spendy one-of-a-kind necklaces that “your grandchildren will fight over,” as they like to say. LeRoy’s “Signature Heart Pendant” is a classic choice for Valentine’s Day, but they have many original pieces in the shop to choose from.
Check out a selection of their jewelry pieces in their online shop here, but know that you can find a much larger variety of jewelry pieces in person at their historic storefront. (And, if you’re planning ahead for next year, LeRoy is happy to work alongside you to design and create something completely one-of-a-kind!)
