Follow the Arrow - How to Win Hearts This Valentine's Day  Love is a Battlefield. Whether you have a beau to (stressfully) shop for, plan to boycott Cupid, or will hit the town single, you'll survive thanks to these fail-safe gifts, experiences, and parties without pity.
Don't Rely on Conversation Hearts to do the talking for you - Instead, express your affection with Airport Tag pillows or totes!  If you left your heart in Paris, London or NY we feel for you. Remind your long-distance lover you're just a plane ride away with a pillow displaying his airport code.
Airport Tag products are inspired on the IATA codes, a three-letter code designating many  airports around the world, defined by the International Air Transport Association. The characters prominently displayed on baggage tags attached at airport check-in desks, tickets, timetables, flight information screens are an example of a way these codes are used. Throw pillows created on vintage luggage tags with airport codes on it. The cushions are soft and comfortable and come in 4 sizes to suit any couch or bed. All Airport Tag products are produced in the USA. Website. Toffee to Go - Candy connoisseurs are sweet on two things: coating and filling. That's why they'll be impressed with a box of Chapel Hill Toffee. This  toffee begins with a layer of traditional English toffee spread thin and cut by  hand into bite sized squares. Each piece is coated on both sides with a top-secret blend of dark chocolates. The smooth layers are finished off with the sprinkling of pecans that gives Chapel Hill Toffee it's iconic look and distinctive southern twist. It's some of the best tasting toffee you'll ever have. In 2006, after years of perfecting her secret family recipe, Karen Graves, decided to turn her favorite hobby into her own home-based business. While Chapel Hill Toffee has quickly expanded to over 400 retail locations, this toffee is still lovingly handcrafted in the place where it all began, "The Southern Part of Heaven" Chapel Hill, NC.
Purchase Chapel Hill Toffee at Raleigh's Cameron Clothing Co. in North Hills. A fresh shipment has arrived just in time for all your sweet Valentine's. Website.

The Beltline Buzz items are selected by our editors. No one can pay to be featured on
The Beltline Buzz.. That's what advertising is for, and it's always labeled as such. Selling ourselves (literally) would destroy the legitimacy, integrity, and fun of
The Beltline Buzz. Plus, we'd never earn your trust that way. So we'll never make a dime off your meal at a restaurant nor a penny from the sale of the latest accessory we told you about.
That said, on occasion, we will send out "Dedicated" e-mails on behalf of sponsors. You'll recognize them from the subject line: "The Beltline Buzz Dedicated E-mail." Yes, these are paid for. And, no, we would never sell our subscriber list to anyone. Not for any amount of money.
We hope that you continue to enjoy your Beltline Buzz. We look forward to delivering it.
