The Sweetest Valentine Gifts

As much as I love a heart-shaped box of assorted chocolates, sometimes a small gift is sweeter. Below, a few treats for your Valentine. Or for yourself.


Plop a syrupy magenta bud into your champagne flute, and watch it bloom in bubbles. These flowers make any prosecco or champagne sparkle pinkly. (Under $10)

I have not tried this fig and chocolate spread, but it sounds delicious. I imagine dabbing it on pear slices, with a glass of port. Or maybe as a more-interesting filling for thumbprint cookies. Or just eaten by the spoonful. Is that allowed? (Under $10)



Crystallized Ginger
Wanna spice it up? Ginger gives a kick, crystallized or in candy form. I love the Ginger People's Ginger Chews, but this honey-colored pot of candied cubes is a prettier present. Also check out ginger spread, syrups, and confections. ($6.50)




Coppola mini Blanc de Blancs
Planning a V-Day picnic (hopefully in warmer climates than Seattle), or a rom-com evening with lady friends? Pop a pink box of these cute, canned sparkling wines, insert teeny straws, and sip away. Alone on Sunday? At least this single-serving size keeps your wine bubbly. Cheers! (Around $15)
