Valentine’s Treats
All of you are aware that St. Valentine’s Day is Sunday (and those that pretend they ‘forgot’ are usually the cheap humans who don’t want to spend a dollar on a valentine). Every year I try to find something new and sweet to send to those I love. Not just my partner in crime (he gets treats all year) but also to my dear girlfriends, my mom, and the other ladies of my family. I thought this week I will share my favorite ideas, recipes and ‘finds’ as we countdown the day to excitement, anticipation and unfortunately for some, disappointment.
For the sake of ordering and delivery time, today I am featuring my favorite sites from which you can order a treat (and most have all levels of financial commitment). In no particular order…
Fat Witch Babies–Fat Witch is a great bakery in Chelsea. I have been ordering her babies (a small petite bite-size brownie) for several years prior to making NY my home. Each are $1.50 and you can put together a lovely assortment and ship for right around $20.
Good Karmal–Enjoy the most delicious candy caramel with a Valentine’s sample for only $10. Each piece of caramel is wrapped in a “fortune” inscribed with a quote of wise words from sages ranging from Gandhi to Maya Angelou.
Zoe’s Chocolates–Zoe’s offers their heavenly traditional chocolates in several special packages for the lover in you. Lot’s of choices for less than $20.
Cookie Sandwich Company–These sandwich cookies are truly the size of sliders. They are sandwiches! I have been able to soften the hardest individuals with these cookies. They have a special cookie for Valentine’s with a strawberry filling. You cannot go wrong here.
I would be overjoyed to be the recipient of any of these specialty items. You will feel the same sending them. Get off the site now and go place your orders in order to get the most reasonable shipping charges.
