Valentine's Day Chocolates

For most relationships, yes, as long as the box matches the moment. A well made chocolate gift reads as classic rather than lazy, especially handmade. If you want more, pair it with dinner or flowers; the chocolate half is the part that always gets finished.

Match it to the relationship. An eight piece box suits a sweet gesture or something new, mid-size assortments fit most couples, and the thirty two piece sets make the big statement. If chocolate follows a dinner out, smaller is actually the better call.

This is the rare shop where dairy-free is the standard, not the accommodation. Everything Fames Chocolates makes is dairy-free, and most of the line is vegan too, boxed with the same care as any premium Valentine's gift. Your valentine gets real handmade chocolate, and you get to skip the label reading.

By the first week of February. Valentine's Day is a fixed date with a national shipping crunch in front of it, and chocolate is the thing everyone orders last. An unopened box stored in a cool spot keeps beautifully until the fourteenth, so early costs you nothing.

Yes. Everything in the shop is certified Kosher Pareve, made without dairy or meat ingredients. That widens who you can give it to, from a kosher-observant partner to a coworker to your kid's teacher on the fourteenth, all covered by the same box.
