Chocolate, candy and cookies
Want to show your lover some love this Valentine’s Day, but not so sure he’ll appreciate a dozen red roses or artfully arranged tulips? Even whispering sweet nothings in his ear might not get the reaction you were hoping for.
For this Valentine's Day, remember the tried and true adage and find your way to his heart through his stomach. Here are seven tasty treats he’ll love – and you won’t even have to set foot in the kitchen.
1. Choose chocolates
It’s the perfect, classic Valentine’s Day gift. But rather than pick up a huge heart-shaped velvet box of inexpensive chocolate at the drugstore, go for quality over quantity.
Chocolate Planet imports Leonidas Belgian Chocolates and delivers across Canada. Try the 27-piece Truffle Sampler where each chocolate is filled with rich ganache. Now that’s love!
2. The candy man can
For film fans whose favourite date night includes an evening at home with the latest DVD or a trip to the multiplex for a Hollywood blockbuster, an assortment of candy is a great way to show how much you value him and your time together.
Bella Basket Boutique has a Movie Time basket with bite-sized chocolate bars, popcorn, suckers and more, cleverly packaged in a reusable plastic popcorn container.
3. C is for cookie
If your partner is more of a home cooking guy rather than a fancy restaurant guy, you can’t go wrong with cookies.
Consider the Large George Tin from Cookies by George, a British Columbia company that’s been in business for 25 years. They now have stores across western Canada, but deliver throughout the country.
Best part: Their delicious cookies, including Double Trouble Chocolate Chunk and Chewy Oatmeal Raisin, have no preservatives. If you’re lucky, maybe he’ll share some with you.
