Hy-Vee has the essentials needed to plan your meal. Start with a main course you both can agree on, then grab sweet desserts and finish with drinks.
refresh your look with new clothes or accessories from Joe Fresh or find Evening shoes from DSW, both available at Select Hy-Vee locations.
Main Dish
Order chef-prepared meals from Hy-Vee Catering, grab ready-to-eat dinners from Mealtime To Go or choose a special dinner package with ingredients for a cooking session for two. If you’re running late, opt for curbside pickup to make up lost time.
Dessert
Top off the evening with a sweet treat, whether it’s chocolate-covered strawberries from the Hy-Vee Produce Department or one of the desserts for two available from Hy-Vee Bakery like 40-oz. gourmet pies, assorted 20-oz. cream pies and more.
Drinks
Ask the Hy-Vee Wine & Spirits Department for a wine or sparkling wine pairing for dinner. Or mix it up with a beer pairing by picking out a custom 6-pack of craft beer. If your date doesn’t want alcohol, choose a neutral sparkling water to go with any meal.
PERFECT GIFT
Hy-Vee has traditionally appropriate gifts including flowers and/or a box of chocolates. You can also have fun with an atypical gift like a candle, their favorite candy, a cute stuffed animal or a gift card to one of your date’s favorite shops or restaurants.
SAY IT WITH FLOWERS
The Hy-Vee Floral Department can help you make the best first impression. Call or visit for beautiful bouquets.
