For the Salad King or Queen
Heraclea Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil The Pairing (Set of 2)
Every home cook — regardless of their skill set — will appreciate a set of quality olive oil. This pairing includes a bottle of Heraclea’s early and mature harvest oil and will instantly upgrade your Valentine’s culinary game. The early harvest EVOO is light and spunky and great for salads and cheese. The more full-bodied mature harvest EVOO is delicious drizzled on pizza, roasted vegetables — even baked goods.
While you can certainly go classic with a simple ceramic vase, this custom initial pair is a stylish and thoughtful choice for Valentine’s Day. Your recipient will adore this ceramic set displaying your shared initials and a few dainty buds.
Tinned fish is still having a moment, and if you’ve known your S.O. to happily load up a slice of toast with several whole sardines, they’ll undoubtedly love this set that includes all those goodies plus some bonus chocolate “sardines” even more. Packaged in a cute peel-back tin, this unique gift will make them laugh and delight their taste buds.
These open-ear headphones will become your S.O.’s second-favorite best friend. They latch around the ear, so nothing goes inside, which is cleaner and allows the listener to stay aware of their environment. These are especially great for runners, cyclists, and anyone who walks in a city where it’s important to know what’s going on around you.
If they’re always stealing your favorite sweatshirt, get them an ultra-cozy oversized blanket-sweatshirt combo to keep them warm when you’re not around.
