Merrick hosts celebration with a difference

A business in Merrick is inviting people to do things a little differently this year.

Olive It Boutique is the venue for an upcoming Galentine’s Day event. Attendees will find a Bloom Bar provided by House of Blooms, permanent jewelry, a chance to have professional photos taken by LBNY Native Creative, and candy, sips, and sweet treats. The day celebrates all kinds of love from platonic to romantic, and even love of self. Olive It Boutique is a one-stop shop for everything from skincare products to fresh flowers to candy.

Galantine’s Day is observed globally and celebrates friendships among women. The idea for the holiday comes from the television show “Parks and Recreation,” where the character Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) originated the celebration. The day jumped from fiction to fact, and Galentine’s Day is now famous enough that themed merchandise for it is sold in numerous retailers. It is usually celebrated February 13 but can take place any time people can get together.

Galentine’s at Olive It Boutique is scheduled for next Saturday, February 7, from 11:00 am until 3:00 pm. The boutique is at 65 Merrick Avenue. When events like this are planned, they can benefit if organizers use flyer printing to create handouts to advertise them in the local area. Flyers are economical and easy to distribute or post.
