Healthy Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas

Healthy Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas

If your sweetheart is the type that drinks kale smoothies in the morning and spends two hours a day at the gym, chances are she isn’t going to want a huge box of chocolates for Valentine’s Day. She will probably want something that makes her happy and healthy at the same time. Here are some awesome healthy Valentine’s Day gift ideas.


Box of dark chocolates– Just because a traditional box of chocolates may not be the ideal gift of her, doesn’t mean you need to count out chocolates altogether. Dark chocolate contains flavonoids, which are heart-healthy and polyphenols, healthy antioxidants. Vosges Chocolates features a 16-piece Exotic Truffle Collection, containing cacao deep milk chocolate and cacao dark chocolate. Gail Ambrosius Chocolatier has a Classic Collection, featuring an assortment of fine dark chocolates.


Gourmet fruit gift basket– Nothing says healthy like a gourmet fruit basket. Gourmet fruits baskets go beyond the traditional apples and oranges to include exotic fruit like pineapples and pears. The Fruit Company features a Bountiful Harvest Fruit Basket, which includes an assortment of fresh fruit including Granny Smith apples, navel oranges and Webster Comice pears. Gourmet Gift Baskets has a Fruit & Healthy Snacks Gift Basket, featuring fresh fruit like apples, oranges and pears, as well as delicious healthy snacks like Blueberry Pomegranate Clusters and Sugar River Trail Mix.


Organic gift basket– Organic gift baskets are perfect for those leading a healthy lifestyle. Broadway Basketeers has an Organic and Natural Gift Basket, which features goodies like California Nature’s Joy Pistachios and Brown & Haley Cashew Roca Butter Crunch. America’s Best Organics features a Celebrating You Organic Gift Basket, featuring Bumble Bar Organic Sesame Bar and Go Organic Blood Orange Hard Candy.


Dried fruit & nut gift basket– The combination of dried fruits and nuts is the perfect snack anyone will love. The Fruit Company has an Orchard Fruit Deluxe Dried Fruit Tray, featuring California apricots, Angelino plums, pitted prunes and almonds. Harry and David has an Entertainer’s Dried Fruit and Nut Tray, featuring apricots, apple rings, raw almonds and roasted pistachios.

    Certainly can’t go wrong with chocolate in my book. However one year I got an edible arrangement and I loved it!

    That dark chocolate looks amazing! I have to say my favorite thing to get is an edible arrangement. I get my chocolate fix but I also feel a little better because it’s mostly fruit.

    Any of those would work for me, although I am a huge dark chocolate fan! I’m off the sweets for awhile, though, so maybe I should look for a yoga mat instead. 🙂

    What a great idea to focus on healthy gifts. Valentine’s Day is typically about candies and sweets it’s nice to have a reminder that a yummy treat doesn’t have to wreck a diet or add a few pounds 😉

    A food gift basket would be a great gift for Vday. It would be different outside the cliche chocolate and roses.

    Such a great idea, valentine’s day is usually a day of unhealthy habits for me (pizza, lots of chocolate so on) but I really like the idea of a fruit basket instead, and honestly I prefer fruit to chocolate

    I keep hearing that dark chocolate is healthier for you than milk chocolate. Unfortunately, I’ve never really been a fan of its taste. Maybe I will acquire a taste for it over time.
