Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. That sacred 24-hour window when society dictates “show love by spending money on things in a vase,” and we say “nah fam, a bong is a much better receptacle.”
We’re here to help you celebrate Valentine’s Day your way, even if your vibe has nothing to do with prix-fixe menus, glittery cards, or overpriced flowers. Whether you’re flying solo, adventuring with pals, gaming hard, or spending the day with your sweetheart, we’ve got Trove Cannabis-approved pairings to elevate your Valentine’s day in Whatcom County.
Traditionalists
You like each other. A lot. You’re doing Valentine’s Day together and nothing brings you more joy. This is for the couples who enjoy tradition but don’t need it served with white tablecloths and chocolate that tastes like cardboard.
Activity
Start the day with coffee and a stroll down Taylor Dock. Spend the afternoon hitting up all your favorite shops and settling into a well-earned happy hour. When the sun starts to fade, head home to cook something together, cue up a playlist (*Marvin Gaye has entered the chat*), spark up a doob and let the night do its thing. No reservations required.
Pairings
- Pre-Rolls: Save time with pre-rolls so you have time for…ahem…other things
- Infused Bath Salts: Nothing says romance more than fighting for room in the tub.
- Topicals: Treat each other to an infused massage.
Soloists
Who’s to say Valentine’s Day is only for couples? We don’t subscribe to that BS. Valentine’s Day is all about love. No better love than self love. This year, give yourself the gift of chill, peace, and serenity.
Activity
It’s all about the bed rot. Put on some fresh linens, pile on the cozy blankets, and don the most comfortable pajamas you own because you’re about to sink into your bed some much needed self-care time. We recommend trash tv, anything airing on Lifetime, or binging The Great British Bake Off.
Pairings
- Top Shelf Flower: Solo missions deserve premium fuel.
- CBD-Forward Edibles: Because self-love sometimes means taking a siesta after a tasty snack.
- Infused Beverages: Put it in a champagne flute because you’re fancy today.
Adventurists
If by “romantic dinner” you mean “hiking boots, a good trail, and snacks” this Valentine’s playbook is for you!
Activity
Hit Larrabee or Oyster Dome at sunset, where the views are fire and the vibes are higher. Finish the day tending to your post-trail muscles with a soak in the tub or massage.
Pairings
- Infused Pre-Rolls: Lace up those Merrell’s, pack some snacks, and don’t forget a few infused pre-rolls to help intensify the journey.
- Topicals: Have your partner help you reach those hard-to-reach areas with a soothing infused topical lotion.
Gamers
If controllers, headsets, and snacks within arm’s reach are your thing, you are seen! Romance isn’t candlelight, it’s 2-player mode, friendly trash talk, and losing track of time together.
Activity
Take advantage of the many gaming stores Whatcom County has to offer and get something new to play. Order takeout. Settle in. Put your game face on.
Pairings
- Edibles: Fun, flavorful, and perfect for long sessions.
- Infused Beverages: Hydration, but make it festive.
- Limonene-Rich Flower: Better focus for blasting zombies, building cities, or engaging in combat.
Group Hangs
Valentine’s Day does not have to be romantic. Sometimes it’s just about gathering your favorite humans and furbabies and embracing chaotic friendship energy. Whether it’s friends, roommates, chosen family, or the group chat that refuses to die, this is your reminder that love multiplies when shared.
Activity
Pick a central meeting point (aka the one friend with good parking). Everyone brings a snack from a different Whatcom County store. (Because supporting local feels AMAZING and shows love!) Think: Tiramisu from the Co-Op, bulk candy from WinCo, chips from Rome Market, pizza rolls from Everson Market, infused snacks from Trove.
Pairings
- Multi-Pack Pre-Rolls: Because everyone deserves their own.
- Edibles: Before everyone starts stuffing their gullets, eat an edible and wait for the munchies to kick in.
- Pinene-Rich Flower: Reduce social anxiety and boost conversation!
The Unbothered
If Valentine’s Day feels less like a holiday and more like a carefully orchestrated greeting card conspiracy, you’re not alone. You don’t hate love, you just don’t need a corporate holiday telling you how to express it.
Activity
Treat the day like any other, but make it slightly better. Visit us at Trove, bring your furbaby (nothing would make us happier), and take advantage of our everyday low prices. No gimmicks. No corporate grabs. No expectations.
Pairings
- Ask our Budtenders for what’s exceptional at the moment.
- Sign up for our Loyalty Program.
- Treat yo’self!
At the end of the day, Valentine’s Day in Whatcom County is less about what gifts to buy and more about leaning into what makes this place special.
