» Food & Drinks
Is your loved one more of a foodie? Don’t fret because the following unique valentines day gift ideas will surely give you lots of options to choose from — and which the two of you can both enjoy especially if you’re planning to do a picnic, lunch, or dinner date of sorts!
Love Cake
You can give them any cake to satiate their sweet tooth, but I suggest that you take it a step further.
Offer this minimalist yet beautiful Korean-inspired ILY cake! It’s simple but it’s pretty and it puts the message across very clearly *wink*
Alternative: Vegan Cakes
“Smash” Heart Cake
Ever heard of a ‘smash’ cake?
It’s basically a kind of dessert that can be smashed or broken with a wooden hammer — and as a sweet surprise, the receiver will find a number of goodies, chocolates, and other snacks! It’s definitely a fun gift that your significant other would love.
Other options:
— Cupcakes
— Designer Cakes
Chocolate Bouquet
Offer up a bouquet for this special day, but instead of the usual, why not a gigantic arrangement of 20 Ferrero Rocher pieces?
This is surely a confectionary treat for your special someone! (Optional: 36 Ferrero)
— Otherwise, go for this chocolate alternative — if that’s more of their style?
Pink Chocolate Strawberries with Wine
Make their day with this one-of-a-kind luxurious arrangement of pink-covered strawberries with rose wine!

Grill-To-Go Yakiniku Set
Do they love yakiniku or samgyeopsal (grilled meat)?
Give them the chance to have their own grill set at home with this portable griller bundle that comes with a range of meats and side dishes.
Alternatively, you can gift them a hot pot (shabu shabu) set from Nabe!
Graze Box with Wine
Send them a luxurious selection of delicious cured meats (charcuterie), cheese, dried fruits, and many others — including a bottle of wine. This is best paired with a trip to a nearby park for a picnic, or better yet: a night of Netflix and chill *wink*
S’mores Box
This is a great addition to, let’s say, a camping or picnic trip for Valentine’s Day — after all, it will help you build the perfect s’mores treat in a romantic setting!
