Valentine's Day
The Best Valentine’s Day Chocolates
Monday, January 28th, 2008The clock is ticking, but there’s definitely still enough time to order a great Valentine’s Day gift online. I know some people go for roses and jewelry, but the way to my heart has always been chocolate. Any one of the gifts below would totally make my day come February.
Lake Champlain Grand Valentine Chocolate Heart - This one’s not so large as to fatten up your loved one, yet not so small that you’ll look cheap. The colors are great, and the variety of chocolate flavors inside is unsurpassed in a box of this size and price. Even better, the ingredients are all-natural and the chocolate is made in the United States.
The Cheryl & Co. Valentine’s Day Tower - This one has pretzels, several types of cookies, popcorn, and brownies. This is the perfect gift to eat in bed the morning after Valentine’s Day.
Chocolate Body Paint - If you can’t figure out what to do with this, you’re hopeless.
Chocolate Fondue Trio - Grab some fresh strawberries and melon and poundcake, heat up these fondues, and you’re good to go. The set comes with chocolate fudge fondue, white chocolate fondue, and caramel fondue.
Just be careful, folks. These are some pretty great gifts, and if you don’t watch out, you and the recipient will be shopping for maternity dresses in a few months time.
Valentine’s Day Fruit Basket
Monday, January 14th, 2008 Food and Candy GiftsIf your loved one is teetering somewhere between the “few extra pounds” and “morbidly obese” range, you may want to consider a healthy Valentine’s Day gift. As much as I hate to say it, there are some people who simply do not need a super fudge brownie 50-pack sampler. Instead, try something like this Sparkling Toast and Fruit Valentine Crate from Got Fruit. And of course, it’s a great gift for people who just happen to love fruit, too.
In addition to 2 red pears and 2 Fuji apples, the gift basket has a small tin of chocolate, 3 oz of chocolate covered cherries (a satisfying, but modest portion), a small chocolate bar with a love poem attached, and a bottle of sparkling cider. So no, it’s really not that healthy, but if your significant other has forgotten what it’s like to eat fruit (as opposed to say, Cheetos and pork rinds), it’s still helpful to get things moving in the right direction.
I’d say it’s worth the $64.95 for the love poem alone. If your loved one has a sense of humor, the two of you will probably be laughing at that all night.
