Valentine’s Day is firmly a food holiday. New couples can keep it low-stakes with a box of treats. Long-distance relationships call for something like a gourmet dessert delivery that shows up where you can’t. People who live together and don’t want another object in the apartment can split and enjoy a subscription between them.

As a food journalist, I’ve been professionally obligated to try shiny new treats over the years with only minor stomach-related consequences. This guide to 16 food gifts is the result. Most of these picks ship in time for Valentine’s Day as of publication, so if you’re reading this late, you’re still in luck.
