Is there a greater love language than food? You could buy my heart with Ina Garten’scoconut cake, someking crab legs, or a heaping tower ofchocolate-covered honeycomb. But there are also plenty of food-related gifts — a farfalle-shaped candle! A rhinestone chocolate chip cookie necklace! — that would make a food- or drink-obsessed person really happy this Valentine’s Day.

It’s easy to please a food-lover on such a famously indulgent holiday. (No one ever turned up their nose atcaviar andChampagne), but we’d like to offer a few more alternatives for the person who has already done many a lobster dinner, and whose pantry shelves overflow with heart-shaped Le Creuset cookware. They’re the person who orders for the table (whether you agree or not), and they know how to make an elaborate layer cake. You can’t give them something expected, likean Instant Pot. It’s safe to assume they already own every mug ever made or sold at Anthropologie. And don’t even think about getting thema Dutch oven: They already have one in a signature color. These are the gifts they won’t see coming, but will adore — dare we say, savor. Many, if not all of the Valentine’s Day gifts below are also able to be shipped to your loving arms in a matter of days, and given that capitalism’s most cherubic holiday is just around the corner, the time to order really is now.

Below, we’ve rounded up food-related Valentine’s gifts for everyone on your list, from your pasta-loving partner to cast-iron snobs, wannabe wine experts, and everyone in-between. (If this list still doesn’t cut it, get them a good old-fashioned gift certificate toWilliams Sonoma, which will cover all the bases.)


For the bucatini enthusiasts

Sfoglini pasta club many boxes of pastaSfoglini pasta club many boxes of pasta
$215

Love carbs? Invigorated with bottomless curiosity about obscure pasta shapes? A subscription toSfoglini’s Pasta Club is a slam-dunk gift that includes four quarterly shipments full of fun surprises, but each one is guaranteed to feature six bronze-die cut, slow dried pastas (classics and specialty varieties) as well as six accompanying recipes. Saffron malloreddus in a killer ragu may well be in the future for your lucky recipient.


For the amaro nerd

$35

Matchbook Drop Shop produces this unique amaro, made with leftover strawberries from the Mattituck Lions Strawberry Festival, them combines them with nettle, quassia, jasmine, rose, and nutmeg fruit for a bright, complex, and fruity aperitif. It makes an affordable but exciting gift for those who love a spritz or a bitter sipper before or after a meal.


A little something for the person you just started seeing

Chocolate sardines aretrop chic right now, and are the perfect small, slips-in-your-bag gift for cheekily impressing a food lover — tinned-fish and chocolate-craving folks alike.


For the person who swears you can only get decent pizza in New York

A pizza A pizza
$90

Nothing says “I love you” like the best Neapolitan pie in the five boroughs.


For the situationship with a serious sweet tooth

$40

OK, but how fun is this hyperrealistic cinnamon roll phone case, which looks iced to perfection and swirling with brown sugar? The only downside is that every time you take a mirror selfie, you’re guaranteed to get a craving for Cinnabon.


For the person with whom you eat takeout four nights a week

PeachCAUS korean spoon and chopstick set in cute colorsPeachCAUS korean spoon and chopstick set in cute colors
$24

Listen, we all respect the Drawer O’ Leftover Takeout Chopsticks, and we honor the classic wooden variety for its reliable service. That being said, high-quality utensils really can make even a humble DoorDash meal feel more romantic. Grab two sets so that you can both scarf in style — or all four if you’re feeling fancy.


If their love of food is rivaled only by their love of the Criterion collection

Scrounging A24 cookbookScrounging A24 cookbook
$43

Did the 12-scoop ice cream sundae inHome Alonerewire their brain? Do they squint at the screen with intense concentration during the breakfast spaghetti scene inElf? This super-fun cookbook from A24 Films collects and catalogs all of those bizarre pantry recipes from modern movies — think The Breakfast Club’s Pixy Stix sandwich and Kramer vs. Kramer’s “divorced dad French toast” — plus features an introduction by Matty Matheson.


For the person who drinks four cups of coffee a day

Black Bestinnkits Smart Coffee Cup and Warmer.Black Bestinnkits Smart Coffee Cup and Warmer.
$27

Next tofancy olive oil and local bakery gift cards, smart, self-warming coffee mugs can be such a fail-proof present for boyfriends, girlfriends, they-themfriends, in-laws, emotionally remote uncles, and anyone who drinks hot beverages. As writers who are always glued to their desks, we sure would appreciate the gift of consistently hot coffee without the need to make repeat trips to the microwave.


For the person who dreams of competing onTheGreat British Bake Off

Claire Saffitz Cookbook - Dessert PersonClaire Saffitz Cookbook - Dessert Person
$19

Claire Saffitz’sDessert Person is for the baker who toggles between chocolate chip cookies and 18-tier croquembouche (if you know, you know). The photographs beam off the pages, so even a baking novice will want to show off this cookbook on the coffee table.


For the person who can never decide what they want for dinner

Food decider dice giftFood decider dice gift
$10

Six o’clock rolls around, and you start discussing what you should have for dinner. Is it taco night? Or do salmon hand rolls sound better? What about Sichuan? Oh wait, but then there’s Italian... The next thing you know it’s 8:51 PM, you still haven’t made any progress, and you’re losing options by the second. Never again with this handy dice. It’s a cheeky way of helping an indecisive partner be a better dinner companion.


If you forgot to make a reservation, it’s three days before Valentine’s Day, everywhere is booked, and you’re panicking

Veselka Complete Ukrainian Dinner (4 People).Veselka Complete Ukrainian Dinner (4 People).
$150

If you haven’t booked a restaurant for the big day, don’t sweat it. What your crush really wants is to be spoon-fed some of New York City’s best borscht on a (faux) bearskin rug at your place.Veselka has been a Ukrainian staple in the East Village 1954 (the new-ish location in Williamsburg is also delightful), and you can order a smorgasbord of pierogi, borscht, stroganoff, and more right to your door.


Or, if you’re willing to pay a fortune to score the ultimate dinner reservation…

$1500

Get on the waitlist and pray that you’ll score the privilege of paying $1,500 per person for bragging rights that you ate at the West Coast iteration of the best restaurant in the world.


If they live to eat (fancy tropical fruit)

$47

This 4-5-pound box of seasonal fresh fruit is tailored to what’s in season — right now it might be passionfruit, blood oranges, Eureka lemons, limes, cherimoya, Meyer lemons, and mandarins. Your morning yogurt bowl or smoothie is about to get epic.


If they are happily in the cult of hardcore martini-lovers

Maison Balzac Black Bow Coupes (Set of 2).Maison Balzac Black Bow Coupes (Set of 2).
$215

You see the pure bliss on their face when they take the first sip of an ice-cold Belvedere ’tini. Here’s an idea: why not learn how to make your partner’s favorite cocktail, and serve it up in this set of these too-perfect, bow-embellished glass coupes from the comfort of your home?


So they can sear a ribeye in style

Smithey 12-inch skillet in cast iron Smithey 12-inch skillet in cast iron
$220

Gifting someone personalized, engraved cast iron feels like the cookware equivalent of getting matching tattoos. Perhaps it’s the hardiness and enduring nature of the gift in question — treat your cast iron well, and it can last for generations — but it would make for such a strong declaration of love.Smithey will engrave its cast-iron cookware with the name or message of your choice, and theNo. 12 (12-inch) skillet is perfect for the occasion.


If they’re all in on the pistachio mania

DS & durga pistachio perfumeDS & durga pistachio perfume
$80

It’s 2025 andpistachio’s reign in the current cool-flavor hierarchy remains strong. For the food-lover who wants to smell like a scrumptious artisanal pastry, DS & Durga’s cult-fave Pistachio perfume is just the ticket. While it is, naturally, very pistachio-forward, it’s a complex and nuanced gourmand fragrance with notes of cardamom, patchouli, almond, and vanilla — and yet feels grown-up, bearing no resemblance to a saccharine Bath & Body Works spray. A warning, though: Sniffing your wrist can be addictive when you’re wearing this scent.


Valentine’s Day chocolate that’s a little something different

Vosges Chocolate Forest MushroomVosges Chocolate Forest Mushroom
$95

Definitely one of the groovier chocolate creations we’ve ever seen.


For the baker with quirky-chic taste

Puppets and Puppets Cookie Claddagh Ring.Puppets and Puppets Cookie Claddagh Ring.
$123

Not a day goes by when I don’t think of Puppets and Puppets’ chocolate chip cookie-themed jewelry collection. If you’re someone who loves a baker, this eccentric yet chic take on a classic Claddagh ring is perfect. The gold-plated conversation piece features black rhinestone “chips.”


A trompe l’oeil that delights the senses

Gohar World Biscuit Tin Candles.Gohar World Biscuit Tin Candles.
$90

Food-shaped candles have never looked cooler, and the Italian family-run company Gohar World, which operates out of Milan, has been leading the pack with its realistic and romantic creations, including this faux-tin of a dozen mini cookie candles.


For the hot sauce addict

Momofuku chili crunch variety packMomofuku chili crunch variety pack
$57

Tell someone you think they’re hot stuff with some hot stuff — more specifically, this five-pack of Momofuku’s cult-fave chile crunch, which includes hot honey, black truffle-infused, extra-garlicky, and extra-hot versions of the now-classic condiment.


For the cute gardener

Meyer lemon gift treeMeyer lemon gift tree
$121

This baby Meyer lemon tree may be small nowm but will grow into a mature tree up to 10 feet tall, blossoming in the spring and producing sweet Meyer lemons in its very first year. It includes growing instructions, and (hopefully) like your love, will yield its own gifts for years to come.


For the wine snob who loves to lounge

Kolo Willer Cord Faux Fur House ShoesKolo Willer Cord Faux Fur House Shoes
$95

Are theyso clearlywine-related? Maybe not to the naked eye. Look, if you want somenovelty wine slippers that say “Wine Time,” they’re out there—knock yourselves out! These are just really good-looking, super-comfortable house shoes from Kolo, and they pair perfectly with a pét-nat enjoyed while loitering over the kitchen island or kicking back on the patio, watching the sunset. Comfy clothes are true romance, baby. (Bonus: They’re unisex.)


For the coffee lover who already has the fancy machine

stumptown hair bender coffeestumptown hair bender coffee
$105

The gift of nice coffee is classic, but how about the gift of five pounds of coffee all at once? A pillow-sized 5-pounder of Stumptown’s crowd-pleasing Hair Bender costs $90, lasts about a month in a two-person coffee-loving household, and is most likely fresher than what you find at grocery stores.


For the messy chef

Dark blue apron laying flat.Dark blue apron laying flat.
$76

Every home cook needs areliable apron, and this minimalist version from Hedley & Bennett has everything you need: pockets and a lifetime guarantee. The aprons are made in America from 100-percent cotton and come in chic, muted shades of green, blue, black, and more.


For the aesthete

Eat nunchi jelly cheesecakeEat nunchi jelly cheesecake
$120

You’ve probably spotted Lexie Park’s cakes all over Instagram. The jiggly pastel-hued confections are made with flavors like peach, lychee, and persimmon. They’re only available for local pickup in Los Angeles and tend to sell out fast — keep a close eye onher Instagram account.


For the teetotaler with fab taste

Ghia Le Spritz (12 Pack).Ghia Le Spritz (12 Pack).
$80

Described as a “nonalcoholic aperitif,” Ghia is definitely for grown-ups. The brand’s canned option, Le Spritz, is available in a slew of interesting flavors, including sumac & chili and lime with salt. The classic Ghia soda is a balanced and nuanced combination of flavors like elderflower, lemon balm extract, and riesling grape juice, and the ginger kicks things up with a hint of spicy zing.


The pizza oven that will make your summer cookouts extra-special

Ooni pizza oven outdoors.Ooni pizza oven outdoors.
$349

Ooni’s pizza ovens are wildly popular for so many reasons — mainly, how quickly they whip up tasty pizzas and flatbreads — but best of all, they’re easy to set up, so they’re ready in minutes to host a pizza party for two, 20, or however big your crew is. These sleek workhorses are multi-fuel so that you can get cooking quickly with wood, charcoal, or gas (and they kind of look like spaceships, too).


And while you’re at it, make everything else taste like pizza

Brightland Pizza OilBrightland Pizza Oil
$28

It’s a best-seller for a reason: Brightland’s Pizza Oil is a zesty, herby condiment made with oregano, jalapeño, and green pepper for pizza-fying anything your heart desires.


For the tinned fish fan

Tinned fish can.Tinned fish can.
$26

The packaging makes this charming little candle look like an actual tin of fish, while the vanilla aroma makes it smell, well, a lot better than sardines.


For the person who appreciates little luxuries

Sophie Lou Jacobsen Everything Nice Butter Dish.Sophie Lou Jacobsen Everything Nice Butter Dish.
$60

French-American designerSophie Lou Jacobsen is known for her head-turning cocktail glasses and home decor (her nickel-platedspiral coasters have been in my favorites tab for ages). Unsurprisingly, her take on a butter dish is fanciful yet functional.


For the food-lover who looks up the menu before you dine out

Menu Design in Europe bookMenu Design in Europe book
$70

This fun, visually pleasing book makes a great conversation piece but is also encyclopedic in terms of its depth. (It’s 448 pages!) This TASCHEN behemoth is where a love of food intersects with intriguing design and waves of nostalgia for restaurants where we may never get to eat now, but we can at least pretend we’re just trying to pick our entrée.
