With Valentine’s Day around the corner, you’re probably contemplating how to best express your love to those close to you.
Whether you’re looking for the perfect gift for your significant other, your loved ones, or even for yourself, we’ve compiled a list of sweet options that will make an impression all while supporting a small business like yours.
Why should presents only last a day? Gift a 3, 6 or 12 month candy delivery plan to a loved one who has a sweet tooth. You can even get $15 off your first order.
Choose from a selection of sophisticated toffees, gourmet barks, sauces, spreads, bonbons and more. You can also gift a monthly subscription box where a curated box of hard-to-find chocolate bars, thick and rich European-style drinking chocolate and handcrafted confections will be delivered to you or your loved one’s door step. Worried about allergies? They are happy to create custom assortments.
All Golden Fig items are blended and bottled in small batches on a weekly basis, which ensures the spices, vinegars and sugars will arrive fresh. They offer a variety of gift sets for bakers, chocolate lovers and more.
The Peanut Man is a family owned and operated candy, confection and nut store specializing in handmade chocolate, pralines, gourmet popcorn, old fashioned candy and more. Order from their wide selection of unique gift baskets and nut trays.

In addition to the chocolates and candy, one of the greatest pleasures is having an excellent cup of tea! Support ethical sourcing + small farms by giving your Valentine and loved ones unique, artisan tea blends from this small, mission-driven business. All teas are all organic, handcrafted, and small-batch. Made with fresh, locally grown herbs and botanicals like hand-cut ginger root and California Elderberry Flowers. Definitely try the signature Chai blend and elevate your cup of tea to the next level. Truly amazing tea at ChaiFiveTeaCo.
Thanks for sharing your business, Anna!

Thanks for sharing your business Kelly!
Be sure when you order your Valentine's flowers, you order from a real, local, brick and mortar flower shop like ours.
Fresher flowers, better customer service and hand-delivered, not a shipping box left on her doorstep in 20 degree weather.
