I know. The other day I wrote about consuming experiences this Valentine’s Day instead of consuming stuff. Still, some of you are going to buy your loved ones a sweet treat this year. Heck, I wouldn’t mind a small treat myself. If you’re going splurge, and most of these are splurges, give these treats a look.
Equal Exchange Chocolate and Coffee Pairing Gift Bag – Two bags of organic coffee (one is called Love Buzz), four organic chocolate bars and instructions for pairing in a 100% recycled gift bag. I was sent one of Equal Exchange’s gift baskets filled with fair trade yumminess back in December so I know their chocolates and coffees are good. $34.95/basket.
Nicobella Vegan Organic Dark Chocolate Truffles – An assortment of one each - Blueberry Almond, Ginger Green Tea, Pumpkin Chai, Sunflower Banana Butter, Walnut Flaxseed, Pure Cocoa Bliss. Apparently, vegan Alicia Silverstone is a fan of these truffles. $13/box of 6.
Sjaaks Organic Lavender Truffles – Heart shaped organic dark chocolate lavender truffles are wrapped in lavender foil and gift boxed in, what else, a lavender colored box. A little different than the usual Valentine’s Day, but quite romantic looking. $14.95/box.
Askinosie Valentine’s Box - Askinosie describes its chocolate as “unofficially organic” and “beyond Fair Trade.” I love the look of this box of four 3oz single origin chocolate bars. The gift tag on the box is customizable, and if you have the box shipped directly to your sweetheart, Askinosie will customize it for you. $24/box.
Organic Fair Trade Valentine Heart Vegan Truffles Box – Sometimes, you just need the traditional heart shaped box. Even the pretty pink box that holds the chocolates is fair trade – made Fair Trade womens co-operative using tree free fibers such as mango, mulberry and banana in Thailand. $38/box of 20 chocolates.
