Trenton LoveLocal Gift Cards - Bonus Buy BOGO

May is a joyful time of the year. It’s a time when we celebrate graduations, weddings, Mother’s Day and just being outside more. Not only are the flowers blooming and the sun shining, but more businesses are staying open longer. We are also seeing more outdoor events happening again, including the return of the First Fridays Block Parties at 1911 Smokehouse BBQ.

Here are 5 ways to find joy in the season – and Love Local Trenton!

1. Buy LoveLocal Gift Cards: With Mother’s Day, graduations and weddings on the calendar, gift giving is easy with the Love Local Gift Card.

Don’t miss this BOGO Bonus! Trenton Downtown Association is offering a free gift card valued at $50 fore very $50 gift card purchased and redeemed before June 30, 2021. Get yours here.

2. Join Your Friends for lunch! What could be nicer than lunch on the patio? Fabio’s, City Deli, New Jersey Weedman’s Joint, Big Easy, 1911 Smokehouse all feature outdoor dining options.

3. Get Your Hair Cut or Styled: You know you need it. We’ve all been inside for so long. Now that we are out and about, why not look your best?

4. Take a Walk: Have you heard about the COVID-“19”? Pounds, that is. Apparently, you aren’t alone if you put on a little weight during the past year. Even if you didn’t, it always feels great to get some fresh air and exercise.

Best of all, you don’ t need fancy equipment to stay active. All you need is a new pair of sneakers from Snipes to get you moving again! Snipes is located at 50 East State Street and sells a variety of top-name footwear.

5. Plant a Garden: Not sure where to start? The 33 Tucker Street Garden serves as a demonstration, production and training site for gardeners of all skill levels. Contact Isles, Inc., for more information about its garden support network and free workshops.
