Valentine's Day 2019 gift guide (best Valentine's Day gifts chocolate food)

The heart-shaped boxes of chocolate have been on shelves since New Year’s, but now that we’re almost a full week into February, it’s definitely time to start looking for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift.

It’s probably still not too late to make a reservation at the hottest spot in town, but you could always plan to cook something romantic at home. And you may as well lock down the perfect present for your boyfriend, girlfriend, just plain friend, your mom, or even yourself, ASAP (because you know soon it’ll be Feb. 10 and you’ll wonder where the time went). Even if you hate Valentine’s Day with a passion, it’s still a great excuse to show a little love.

These Valentine’s Day gift guides are full of exciting, adorable, inspiring, and just plain delicious options for her, for him, for you, for everyone—whether you crave something sweet, savory, expensive, practical, or just plain unusual—so you’re sure to find the perfect present to show you care.

If your girlfriend, boyfriend, best friend, mom, or whoever you want to treat (yourself included) craves unique chocolate, these unusual chocolate treats are the perfect Valentine’s Day gift. They may not come in heart-shaped boxes, but it’s what inside that counts.

From camel milk and crickets to curry powder and coconut ash (and plenty of less alliterative options), these interesting chocolates are all worthy of adoration. And yes, sweet-salty bacon chocolate bars deserve a mention, but even that’s old-hat by now. Try one (or more) of these unique chocolate gifts for your discerning Valentine.

John & Kira’s Chocolate Bees with Caramelized Honey Center, $39 on Goldbelly

Chocolat Moderne Passion Fruit Caramel Bar

Éclat Chocolate Porcini & Thyme Chocolate Bar, $10 at Terrain

porcini thyme chocolate

Terrain

Porcini mushrooms and thyme may sound more suited to a bowl of pasta than a chocolate confection, but this beautifully striped milk-and-white chocolate bar contains both earthy shrooms and herbal thyme for a flavor sensation.

Woodford Reserve/Amazon

Got a bourbon lover in your life? These dark chocolate-covered, sea-salt-sprinkled caramels are made with Woodford Reserve’s award-winning bourbon, plus butter and cream.
