A Creative Valentine's Day
Think outside the box with these amazing gifts and experiences
Sweets for Two
If you’re looking for a low-key (yet sweet) way to celebrate, take your sweetie to Kith Treats for a limited-time treat-for-two. The Sweetheart, served in Kith Treats' signature "wide" cup, contains chocolate ice cream infused with Cocoa Puffs and brownie bites, served over fresh strawberries and topped with chocolate cake crunch, chocolate drizzle, and whipped cream. The Sweetheart will be available at all Kith Treats locations worldwide from Saturday, February 8 to Sunday, February 23.
Eat Your Feelings
It’s a tradition to get your lover a card and a sweet treat on Valentine’s Day — but what if they were one and the same? New York’s Funny Face Bakery offers edible cookie greeting cards for Valentine’s Day that are clever, colorful, and very delicious. I love the cookies at Funny Face — and I love the amazing people who work there, so support this great shop! Cookies start at $10 and gift boxes start at $49. Stop into the shop or order online.
Channel Harry & Sally
This past Sunday, America’s most iconic couple, Sally Albright and Harry Burns, reunited. Was it for a sequel to “When Harry Met Sally”? Nope — it was to shill mayonaise. Real New Yorkers know that Harry and Sally would never celebrate Valentine’s Day with mayo — but they would celebrate over bagels. If you’re searching for the ultimate romantic gesture, how about some heart-shaped bagels, available through Goldbelly for Valentine’s Day delivery.
Forget that Heart-Shaped Chocolate Box from the Drug Store
Candy is always great, but don’t go picking up some random heart-shaped box of candy from the big box store. Instead, opt for some of Sugafina’s gorgeous holiday treats. The store offers some high-end (read: Insta-worthy) candies such as champagne bears, “Pucker Up” sugar lips, “Olive You” martini olive almonds, and more. Can’t decide? I love Sugafina’s candy bento boxes that offer an assortment of candies.
A Titanic Dinner
We’re not sure how a movie about one of the all-time great disasters of modern history became a classic love story, but that’s what happened when star-crossed lovers Jack and Rose stole our hearts in Titanic. If you’re in Fort Lauderdale for Valentine’s Day, you can feast on a recreation of the last meal the first-class passengers on the Titanic enjoyed. the 11-course Valentine’s Day dinner starts at 6 p.m. at the House on the River’s gorgeous outdoor patio (waterfront, of course). Formal dress code is not required, but you’re welcome to dress the part of a doomed billionaire. Dinner costs $169 per person (wine pairing optional). Book your passage here.
