Fascinations, one of the premier romance retailers in the southwest, is partnering with Phoenix nonprofit Packages From Home (PFH) this Valentine’s Day to give back to the U.S. Armed Forces.

    Through Feb. 14, Fascinations offers a special chocolate box featuring Lindor truffles. All proceeds from the sale of the chocolate boxes, decked out in Valentine’s Day finery, will be donated to PFH. Boxes will be sold for $5 at all Fascinations retail locations, including the one on 19th Avenue just south of Peoria Avenue (602-943-5859), and online at www.funlove.com. As an added bonus, customers will receive a $5 coupon towards their next purchase in store or online.

    Packages From Home sends boxes of much-needed hygiene supplies and much-appreciated food for soldiers. Many U.S. soldiers don’t have the support of family and friends back home to send them items that are desperately lacking in the field. From razors to toothpaste and from soup to chocolate, the soldiers are limited in what they are rationed while overseas.
