Strawberry lovers will adore this recent re-release from Brightland and Oishii. Pairing flavors from the sweet Omakase berry with Brightland’s fan-favorite vinegar formula, we’d recommend adding this to any fresh salad or bubbly spritz.

Speaking of bubbly, this curated gift box from The Sip is all you need to discover your new favorite sparkling wine—and we’ll toast to that!

Avec’s Cocktails & Chocolates Drink Kit is perfect for the valentine who has fun mixing their own drinks. Quality chocolate from Brooklyn’s own Raaka is a very sweet added bonus.

Sometimes the best Valentine’s Day foodie gifts stimulate their mind and tastebuds, like this puzzle and chai tea duo from Ordinary Habit and One Stripe Chai.

If boba is more their speed, this kit has everything you need to make a delicious cup of bubble milk tea, hot or cold. If they’re hungry for more, we recommend checking out this soup dumpling kit or sourdough set as well.

This confetti board from Fredericks and Mae definitely makes the cut. Use it as a regular cutting board for all your cooking needs, or repurpose it as a cheese and charcuterie board.

We’re tickled pink by these handy oven mitts. They would pair nicely with your pink Fellow kettle.

A Trade coffee subscription lets your loved one choose from hundreds of bags of beans, all from small roasters across the U.S. Coffee novices can take the handy quiz to guide them to the best beans to fit their preferred taste, whether that be a coffee maker, espresso machine, French press, or something more.

Roasted in Atlanta and a favorite of our commerce editor Rachel Fletcher, Portrait has flavors ranging from sweet and fruity to chocolatey and nutty. Portrait even comes with a subscription option to make sure the caffeine keeps flowing.
