It's not just the flower shops that are seeing an upsurge in business because of Valentine's Day. Things were quite busy, Monday, at Lover's Lane in Royal Oak -- an adult novelty store.

Talking with WWJ Newsradio 950's Pat Sweeting, Assistant Manager Nickie Kroag said many times men come in and don't know the size of their significant other, so they will ask the clerks to model lingerie for them.

"All the time, but they don't pay us enough for that," Kroag said, laughing.  "Oh yes, and we just say 'Well, you know, what size does this look like?' We don't try things on for customers -- absolutely not. It's not what we're about. We're professional!" she said.

Kroag said the best-selling Valentine's gifts include all sorts of sexy lingerie -- for her and him; along with adult toys for those who are looking to spice up their love life this holiday.   They're also selling massage oils and Kama Sutra products.

While touring the store, Pat even encountered something called the "Love Swing."

"We do also have dancer poles as well, too. That's also a great form of exercise, if that's what you're looking for," Kroag said.

Lover's Lane locations will be open till 10 p.m. on Valentine's Day.
