Chocolate Decadence

When only the most expensive chocolate in the world will do, you need a $250 La Madeline Au Truffle. This Guinness World Record-holding confection starts with a decadent 70% Valrhona dark chocolate, heavy cream, sugar, truffle oil and vanilla as the base for the gorgeous ganache that surrounds a rare truffle rolled in fine cocoa powder.

Their fabulous 150-stem arrangement is their top offering, with smaller options available; VenusEtFleur.com.

Fancy & Tasty

Flower bouquets can be gorgeous, but if you add some fruits to it, a few pieces of macaroons and a little bit of chocolate, you give a whole new meaning to “He got me flowers!”. That’s the idea behind South Florida-based That Bouquet. Enjoy not only the beauty of your Valentine’s gift, but eat it, too; ThatBouquet.com.

Exotic Opportunity

In lieu of a puppy or kitty cat, give your love a lion, leopard, jaguar, cougar, monkey, owl, lemur, otter or any of the other available animals at the Zoological Wildlife Foundation. In addition to ensuring great care for the animal, you get 50 visits, which means not only will your significant other be delighted, but so will your kids, family and friends; ZoologicalWildlifeFoundation.com.

Sappy & Sweet

If you’re planning on declaring undying love to your significant other this month, pick up the Pink Jane Austen Book Set and recite Edward Ferrars’ famous quote from Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility: “My heart is, and always will be, yours.” Even if you’ve been together for just about forever, the timeless author is always a good gift; Valentine’s Day sets available for men as well; JuniperBooks.com.
