Healthy and Delicious Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas

5/5 - (1 vote)

It's kind of a rather cruel joke...  New Year's Day has come and gone and we are all frantically trying to stick to the resolutions we set for ourselves.  You know the ones:  eating better and exercising more.  Unfortunately, the very first holiday we must face is Valentine's Day, a holiday known for chocolate and candy.  UGH!  :pull hair out:

If you think your Valentine's Day has to be filled with the very sweets you've been busy staying away from, rest assured there's another way.  Edible Arrangements has a delectable way to garnish any occasion with a healthful selection of perfectly ripened fruit. Their Valentine's Day Gift Ideas are the perfect way to express your love and support the healthy decisions your loved one has made too.

I reviewed the Valentine's Day Bouquet™ (Small) from Edible Arrangements, which retails for $69.00.

Give Sweets to the Sweet this Holiday with Edible Arrangements

A sweet and delicious display of fruit in a red tin heart basket makes the Valentine's Day Bouquet™ loved by all!  This fruit bouquet features heart-shaped pineapple and plenty of fresh strawberries dipped in gourmet semisweet chocolate.  There's also grapes and strawberries without the chocolate layer too.

Having the Valentine's Day Bouquet™ arrive on my doorstep was a great way to begin the day!  The fruit included in this particular bouquet was juicy and simply delicious.  There's nothing quite like the taste of super fresh fruit and so my daughter and I immediately dove in and devoured a great deal of it for lunch.  We've had healthy snacks at our fingertips ever since.

Riley and I were super partial to the strawberries, though honestly my favorite selection was the juicy pineapple.  We both loved the grapes and eating them off of the swizzle sticks made them even more fun.  I was especially impressed by how delicious the chocolate used to dip the fruit was.  Riley seemed to enjoy licking all the chocolate off first and then eating her strawberry last.

If you're looking for a sweet, yet healthy way to show someone you love how special they are this Valentine's Day, then be sure to choose a fun and fruitful bouquet from Edible Arrangements.

Disclosure:  I received the Valentine's Day Bouquet from Edible Arrangements in order to facilitate my review. No other compensation was received. This feature is based on my own personal experiences with this item and is completely honest and objective.

  • I have had the delicious pleasure of The Edible Arrangements on several occasions. Every bite is to die for, and those white hearts in your pictures....over the top. Yes, it's all fruit but that white chocolate covering takes it to an all new high. Enjoy.

    • Thanks Rosemary! I'm such a fan of chocolate covered strawberries, but I've never tried white chocolate covered strawberries before...they do sound amazing! Have a wonderful weekend!

  • I love the idea of fruit as a gift ... so much nicer than the "evil" stuff. And the basket looks so pretty! Add in a little champagne (or sparkling cider) and you have a perfect, romantic desert. Thanks for sharing! :-)

    • Great idea about adding the champagne or sparkling cider to this basket...that would truly make a wonderful Valentine's Day gift! Have a wonderful Sunday! :)
