The deal is on!
Flowers can express what's in your heart, but they can also send mixed signals when delivered in the wrong form, as your "Happy Birthday" funeral spray proved. Properly express yourself with today's deal: for $30, you get $60 worth of floral arrangements from Bell's Floral. Though you can only redeem you Groupon at the Briarcliff Village location or over the phone, you can do your browsing online while inhaling the fresh fragrances that seep through your computer speakers.
With St. Valentine just around the corner, standing there waiting to sell you magazine subscriptions, now would be a good time to snag some appeasing V-Day arrangements. The popular Be My Love ($57.89) is a vase of lovely blossom buddies featuring red roses, white carnations, and Asiatic lilies. You can blush the face of your sidekick with the pinkish Dance With Me ($55.89), which comes dressed to impress with a mix of roses and carnations in a red vase and pink bow. There's also a digital display case that lets you poke your nose around a wide variety of cupid-caliber options. You can choose to have your order delivered within the KC metro area for an extra $12 (which you can use your Groupon toward).
Store owner Connie Bell has been perfecting the craft of arranging flowers for 35 years. Her blooming bouquet babies have made appearances at every occasion, such as weddings, Thanksgiving, vacations of the mind, and the dark underworld of patriotic flower fights. Flowers are a great way to celebrate a holiday, but are even greater to celebrate non-holidays. Nothing knocks people's knitted socks off faster than a random bouquet on their doorstep, and nothing refreshes a beehive quite like the aromatic hypnosis of fresh flowers.

Valentine's Date Spots: Your Guide
Today's Groupon can help you win over the Valentine you've secretly been swooning over, but once you schedule your first date, you have to decide how to spend it. Here's a guide to some common Valentine's Day date spots:
Restaurant: Sharing a meal together is the ultimate first-date choice, but isn't it also a bit obvious? Spice up going to the restaurant of your date's choice by proclaiming "[Name of Restaurant]? I own [Name of Restaurant]!" Then, when you arrive for your meal, insist on entering through the back door. Confused busboys will respect you for your boldness, excited waiters will compete to serve you, and easily swayed police officers will draw portraits of you in their little notebooks instead of arresting you.
Picnic in the Park: Another obvious choice with some unobvious pitfalls. First, chances are good that your Valentine is gazebophobic, which means that he/she will set any nearby gazebos on fire with his or her thoughts. Secondly, it's only a matter of time before violent animosity between geese and street-performing mimes spills over from the Internet and into our public parks.
Laser Light Show: This romantic spot for a first date is where many of our parents met, nestled under the warm glow of the planetarium dome, enchanted by machine-controlled fog, and surrounded by drug-addled teens. The sensory overload is sure to have your Valentine falling head over heels for you, but watch out for low-hanging lasers.
