Great options for traditional Valentine’s Day gifts

Teleflora has some beautiful arrangements to select from this Valentine’s Day. My favorite is the company’s Simply Pink Bouquet which retails for $49.95 to $69.95. Beautiful lush roses are mixed with alstroemeria to create a romantic floral arrangement that is sure to impress your special someone. Other selections include the company’s Tempt Me with Tulips Bouquet ($54.95 to $84.95) featuring beautiful red tulips in a golden mercury glass vase; or its Parisian Pinks with Roses ($54.95 to $74.95) whose light pink roses and delicate Queen Anne’s lace that captures that romantic vibe of Valentine’s Day. What I like best about Teleflora is that all its arrangements are hand arranged and hand delivered…no boxes. A local Teleflora florist makes and delivers your special floral arrangement to your Valentine. STARS: ****

Does your sweetheart have a sweet tooth this Valentine’s Day? Then consider sending your sweetheart some delicious cookies from Cheryl’s like its Valentine Gift Tin ($48.99) that features 24 delicious cut out cookies. Individually wrapped, the cookies also come in a cute Valentine’s Day tin. Even better, these sweets are not only a great option for your Valentine but also for your child’s teacher. STARS: ****

Hershey’s has long been associated with Valentine’s Day and its offering this year has something for everyone. The company sent me a few bags of its Extra Creamy Milk Chocolate Hearts and they are delightful. Creamy chocolate that melts in your mouth, it was all that I could do to not eat the entire bag. A must have this Valentine’s Day. STARS: *****

Nut allergies are on the rise these days, so I was happy when Sun Cups approached me to taste their Sunflower Butter Dark Chocolate Cups. Not only are these delicious treats nut free, they are also organic and gluten free. Taste one and you’ll be a fan, I am and so are both my kids. Available in milk chocolate and dark chocolate the only downside is this product is only available for purchase online at www.Suncups.com. But they are worth the wait. Order yours today. STARS: ****

Want to elevate a typical chocolate treat this Valentine’s Day? Consider gifting Fannie May’s Full Half Dozen Pixies Chocolate Dipped Strawberries ($34.99). Simply divine. So delicious, covered in a caramel infused mild chocolate and pecans, the only complaint is that there should be more. My suggestion, purchase one for yourself; and another for your Valentine -- so good you will want more! STARS: *****

Want to pamper your special Valentine? QVC’s Philosophy’s Love Trio of Lotions ($104) are fabulous. These creamy and sweet smelling lotions come in a three pack and feature names such as Unconditional Love, Falling in Love and Love Sweet Love. Each bottle is 24 fl. oz. and comes with a pump so it’s easy to dispense. Each lotion has a different scent and all of them are lovely. It’s hard to pick a favorite but if I had to it would be Falling in Love. Sporting hydrating and firming body emulsions, these lotions are a sweet addition for Valentine’s Day. STARS: *****
