Simple Valentine’s Gift Ideas for Foodies
Sweet and simple gifts of chocolate
When it comes to giving chocolates, I am really picky. The chocolate has to be smooth-textured and high quality. And lately I’ve been partial to unique flavorings and fillings. Plus, our family has been going soy-free in recent years, making a great chocolate harder to find. Fortunately, Alter Eco delivers on all those points. Silky smooth in texture, and organic, fair-trade quality, their truffles and bars are meltingly delicious. Add pretty packing and intriguing flavors like Dark Quinoa and Dark Brown Butter bars (not to mention their scrumptious sea salt truffles made with coconut oil!). They are a clear winner for a Valentine’s gift.
Find Alter Eco chocolates on Amazon (affiliate link), or at your local natural foods store (so great if you’re a last minute gift shopper!).
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
I’m the type of girl who is thrilled to get chocolates (and flowers) for Valentine’s Day. Chocolate (fine chocolate!) never gets old! I spent five years working at a chocolate store, so… I know! And strawberries smothered in chocolate? Yes, please! (Hint: chocolate covered strawberries are a great Valentine’s Day gift for him, too!).
Heart-shaped, red sweet strawberries are made even better when paired with milk, white, and dark chocolate! (Okay, I’ll be honest, I don’t like white chocolate at all, but it is pretty!). I’m not sure whether to be sad that you have to eat all those strawberries within 48 hours (parting is such sweet sorrow). Or glad (never too much of a good thing!).
Gourmet Foodie Gift Tins & Baskets
Food is another classic choice for Valentine’s Day. Go for unique food gifts! A gourmet food basket or tin can come in hundreds of flavors – both sweet and spicy! Chocolate covered Oreos or Strawberries, giant heart-shaped chocolate chip cookies, popcorn tins and so much more!
The His & Hers Popcorn Tin is has multiple flavors for sampling & sharing! What a fun combination of savory and sweet for love birds to share! It’s perfect paired with some DVDs or gift cards for rentals!
A Valentines’ Day Cookie Gift Box is filled with a variety of cookies that are soft and delicious!
Healthy Chocolate Snack Bars – Pure Organic
How about a healthier chocolate gift? Pure Organic has better-for-you chocolate snacks that are decadent and full of healthier ingredients! Delicious Pure Organic Chocolate Brownie and Cherry Cashew Fruit & Nut bars make the perfect gift for the guy or gal on your list. How about celebrating “Galentine’s” with your bestie and a handful of these chewy, chocolatey bars? They taste like a brownie, yet are filled with nuts and dried fruits so they are full of protein and fiber too! And always made with organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan and kosher ingredients. Now THAT’s a treat!
Heart Waffles and Chocolate Houses
Hearthsong always carries a unique line of gifts and ideas for kids (of all ages). A heart-shaped waffle maker in a lovely red color makes a great gift. The heavy-duty waffle maker has six browning settings for just the right “crisp” to your waffles, and it will alert you when the waffle is done! Nothing says love like a homemade breakfast for the kids… or an oversized dessert after dinner!
Or, how about making a Valentine’s house with the kids!? Assemble and decorate a tasty dessert house using gingerbread house kits. This could be a delicious family tradition! (Ingredients not included).
