Other quick gift ideas

Safari’s Sanctuary: Baby Kangaroo
Not only can kids pop by Safari’s Sanctuary in Broken Arrow this weekend and see a baby kangaroo, but you can also send that baby kangaroo to see your special certain someone for Valentine’s Day – with a couple of passes to Safari’s in his little baby kangaroo hands, even. Best, most unexpected gift ever? I think yes. Call (918) 357-5683 to learn more.

Tickets to Tulsa Opera’s Don Giovanni
Let’s face it – who knows when you’ll be able to dig out of this last dumping of snow. If you’re starting from square one and you don’t want to worry yourself with whether or not you’re going to claw free in time to shop for the perfect Valentine’s Day present, consider this: Tickets to Tulsa Opera’s Don Giovanni. Romance level? 10. High culture level? 10. Hilariousness factor? 10 again. This Don Giovanni guy’s list of conquests is so long that his right-hand man sings an entire song outlining them. When several of his attempted seductions go awry, he becomes the target of three vengeful women who are determined to see him pay. Performances are Feb. 19 at 7:30pm; Feb. 25 at 7:30pm; and Feb. 27 at 2:30pm. Tickets start at $10 – yes, just $10. Buy them online or call the Tulsa Opera box office at (918) 587-4811.
