Ridiculously delicious V-day treats
Stuck on what to get your loved one for Valentine’s Day? We’ve put together a selection of delicious foodie gifts to satisfy every kind of sweet tooth – from the less-is-more minimalist to the give-me-more maximalist.
The traditionalist:
This is for the sweetheart who likes all things old school: red roses, a handwritten card in the mail (how very pre-millennial!), white satin and of course: a lovely box of Valentine candy. Cue our eye-catching, locally sourced box of 30 Milk Chocolate Hearts. Scatter them on the breakfast tray, hide them throughout the house, or let your sweetheart squirrel them away and devour at her/his leisure. The options are endless.
The minimalist:
For someone who prefers subtle to shiny, who likes things calm, quiet and in control, go for the limited edition Handcrafted Marshmallow Squares with Sprinkles. It’s light, it’s oh so pretty, and instead of shouting from the rooftops, it whispers sweet nothings into your ear.
The young at heart:
We’ve yet to find someone who won’t go weak at the knees when presented with a milk chocolate bear whose little belly is filled with a crunchy malt filling. But expect squeals of delight from any young-at-heart recipient for sure. And if you want to spoil an actual little person, well you can’t go wrong with a chocolate bear…
The OTT romantic:
For the maximalist in your life; the maker of big gestures, the romantic comedy/musical enthusiast, the one who believes that more is more – we present you with (wait for it) a Giant Cutie Pie. Yes really. It’s big, it’s bold, it’s limited edition. Get to a store now before they sell out. (Of course, these choccies also come in one-person-size, or in a cute heart-shaped tin that holds three pies. No need to limit yourself…)
The wine-lover:
Apparently there are still people who feel that rosé is uncool. Well, each to his own, although why anyone would deprive themselves of pink wine is beyond us. The modern rosé is light, subtle and oh so elegant, often with notes of fresh apple, berries, and of course, roses, to entice the senses. And really, what could be more delightful than a beautiful glass of pink local bubbles?
