Put Your Heart at Ease Get your Valentine's gifts at the Front Desk  If you're one of those people caught last-minute shopping on Christmas Eve, it's doubtful you've bought a Valentine's Day gift yet. This year, the Missouri Athletic Club wants to make the sweetheart's holiday truly sweet. Instead of dropping by a flower shop after work on the big day or scrambling over picked-over cards, stop at the Downtown Front Desk. The lobby's main hub has an assortment of gifts for M.A.C. men in search of the perfect way to say "I love you." The Front Desk has pretty pink fleeces, Bath & Body gift baskets, chocolates and champagne. For M.A.C. ladies looking for the perfect Valentine, remember the Front Desk boasts the best cigar selection in town. Purchase one or two sweet smelling stogies and grab a bottle of champagne. He'll feel like the king of the town. Click here for more pictures |
