As CNET’s resident food fiend, surely I’m partial but I do think food and kitchen gifts make the best ones. No shade to fresh flowers or a shiny smartwatch — great for telling you when it’s time to eat again — but food gifts are superior in nearly every way. 

Food is both soulful and practical. I mean, everybody’s got to eat. And while not everything on this list is edible (I threw some tools in there), the ones that are don’t take up any permanent space, which is perfect if you suspect your Valentine is flush with “stuff” or running low on closet space. 

Now that you see it my way, finding the right food gift for Valentine’s Day is all that’s left. I’ve included my favorite calming tea, a few addictive spice mixes and chocolate truffles so good, they’ll make you melt. 

All of these eats and drinks clock in at under $25 too. That said, there’s nothing cheap about ’em.

Sugarfina has the market nearly cornered when it comes to adorable sweets. As a bonus, they all taste great and the confectioner features some unusual flavors.
