Make Valentine’s Day extra scrumptious with these fun and fabulous edible gifts.
Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to celebrate those you care about most. From significant others to our parents, to best friends and even our four legged fur babies! It’s just a fun day to spread love and celebrate our best relationships.
Gifts like flowers and cards are always lovely (and classic), but don’t always fit the recipients personality. Desserts however, are always sure to find their way into someone’s heart. I mean, have you ever met someone who doesn’t like some kind of sweet or treat? I know I haven’t…
As a foodie, I would say that desserts and treats reign supreme on the list for top Valentine’s Day gifts. So if you’re unsure of what to gift those most special in your life, read on for the eight best edible gifts for Valentine’s Day.
Let’s kick off the list with this beautiful cake from Ribiselchen.
Cakes always make great gifts, especially for entire families, and this button cake is no exception. The fondant buttons are incredibly adorable and scream love and Valentine’s. Your significant other will be sure to know that you can’t live without them with this beautiful cake.

Next we have a breakable heart by The Doughy Delights.
These are giant hearts made from chocolate. A mallet or little hammer is included for the recipient to smash the chocolate heart revealing the contents which range from sweets and treats to cash! It’s such a fun and interactive way to share the love. This would be such a cool gift to give to teens who can be a little difficult to buy for.
