Now, let’s start with the most important thing….
Where to get Chocolate Covered Strawberries
🍓 Nourish Cafe + Market
Nourish is my personal favorite for chocolate covered strawberries! They’re made with organic raw cacao, organic cacao butter, maple syrup, vanilla, sea salt and organic strawberries. Order yours today by emailing hi@nourishcafemarket.com or calling 573-818-2240 ext 1. Pick-up at Nourish on February 13th or 14th.
*BONUS: while you’re there, you can pick up some biodynamic wine or prosecco! Here are some of my current favorites:

🍓 The Candy Factory
This is a Columbia staple. Be prepared… the lines will be LONG! But don’t let that stop you. They have their system figured out and they move fast! In addition to chocolate covered strawberries, they have tons of other sweet treats and even some gift items available. You can also order ahead to pick-up in the store, get them delivered locally or choose their nationwide shipping option!

Places to Shop for Gifts
🛍️ The Tin Roof Monogram & Gift
One of my go-to’s! This a locally owned gift boutique built from big dreams and lots of love, and it shows! Nicole and her team provide the BEST customer service! They can help you find exactly what you’re looking for and share ideas with you without being pushy and overbearing. It’s a pretty large shop with lots of gift options ranging from home decor, baby + kids items, girlfriend gifts, self care items, mens gifts and more!
Located at: 108 Corporate Lake Dr, Columbia, MO 65203
🛍️ Plume
Another one of my go-to’s for treating myself and gifts for others! We also get a lot of our home decor here! Plume is a gathering place for over 90 local artists & vendors who design, create & hand-pick home decor items & gifts. They have a big variety of items so you can find something for everyone! Some of what you'll find at Plume includes baby & wedding gifts, handmade & vintage jewelry and accessories, handmade creams, soaps & scrubs, handcrafted & upcycled furniture and decor...and lots of vintage nostalgia mixed in. Something else they have in their shop that makes them unique is the Plume Bake Shoppe where they bake their famous, made-from-scratch cupcakes. They’re also home to GOPO, Mid Missouri's Only local Gourmet Popcorn Company, MacKenzie's Blakery Macarons & Cocoa Bombs and Wishflour Bakery Cookies.

🛍️ Coming Home
When I’m looking for something unique, this is where I go! Coming Home is a unique home goods shop filled with the things you love best about coming home. They focus on eco-friendly and sustainable items - many of which are made locally and by smaller vendors! The items and the shop both make you feel like you’re at home and give that feeling of nostalgia. I highly recommend stopping by and checking it out!
