Valentine’s Day is coming up fast, and whether you’ll be celebrating with a significant other or not, there are plenty of things to do in Norman for the season.
Human Interaction
Well known for redecorating the entire store, Human Interaction lines its back wall with flowers of all shapes and sizes for people to buy.
The store sells the flowers by the stem, so customers can build their own bouquets, as well as vases to put them in. The store stocks around 2,000 stems the week before Valentine’s Day, which is 10 times their normal stock.
Human Interaction has special Valentine’s Day hours. Normally closed on Monday and Tuesday, they will be open next week for the holiday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
