Valentineâs Day is a traditionally sweet holiday, so why not celebrate with some chocolate?
This has been an especially busy season at Hilliards Chocolates, a longtime candymaker based in North Easton, as customers search for something special to give the people they love.
Founded in 1924, the confectioner offers traditional heart boxes filled with assorted chocolates, but it also offers more unusual treats.
Maegan McCarthy Dec, a fourth-generation member of the Hilliard family and jack-of-all-trades at the business, said the Craft Beer Collection makes a memorable Valentineâs gift. The collaboration with nearby Shovel Town Brewery came about because the chocolatiers noticed their consumer base was consuming a lot of craft beer.

This holiday season, we could all do with a win.
Since coronavirus restrictions on store capacity is keeping many of us from doing our gift shopping in person (usually one of the merriest rituals of the seasons, for some of us), then I’m going to insist we make up for it by doing our online shopping with some creativity and élan. Which honestly isn’t such a bad thing think shopping in your pajamas with your feet up, minus the lines and lugging of bags, and with a plethora of buying options.
