For those who prefer to savor Valentine’s Day and not sneeze their way through the holiday, it might be time to skip the flowers and bundle an edible bouquet this year. Instead of giving a gift that can wilt before the romance heats up, food could be the gift that sets the heart a blaze. Hungry for these best food bouquets for Valentine’s Day 2023?

An edible arrangement, food bouquet, or food gift is not necessarily a new idea. While many companies easily assist in creating these tasty treats, the reality is that the gift idea plays into old sentiment about getting to the heart through the stomach.

When picking these types of food gifts, it is best to know a person’s likes and dislikes. For example, if someone is allergic to seafood, it is best to skip the lobster tails. Or, if someone is training for a marathon, find an option that fits into that healthy eating lifestyle. Luckily, there are plenty of options to choose from.
