It's Not Too Late to Surprise Your Valentine at Caviar & Bananas

Still scratching your head over what to get your Valentine this weekend? Let me give you a hint: buy food. Everyone likes food. Giant teddy bears, while cute in the moment, present serious storage issues after Valentine's Day is over. I mean, where is your sweetie going to keep it, really? In the living room? It'll be like having a Christmas tree up in April. Just do the sane thing and buy food.

Luckily for you (and your boo), Caviar & Bananas in downtown Charleston has put together five affordable gift baskets that will set your Valentine's heart a-flutter and keep his or her tummy happy:

The Heart Melter, $69

Certain to melt any girl’s heart, this package features a bottle of L. Aubry Fils Premier Cru Champagne and Christophe Artisan Chocolate Truffles. Customers can substitute L. Aubry Champagne for Chandon Blanc de Noir Brut for package price of $49.

Boys Love Bourbon, $39

The best way to a man’s heart is bourbon of course! This delicious pair features Pappy Van Winkle handmade bourbon balls made with Old Rip Van Winkle 10 year and handcrafted chocolate along with Bittermilk’s Bourbon Barrel Aged Old Fashioned Cocktail Mixer.

Puppy Love, $23

Love at first bite, this collection is comprised of six of Caviar & Bananas’ delicious, house-made “giant” cookies, including dark chocolate chip and frosted heart-shaped sugar cookies.

The Sweet Thing, $39

The paramount bean-to-bar chocolate maker in the South, single-origin chocolate bars from Olive Sinclair are handcrafted in Nashville with four signature flavors, such as Mexican Cinnamon Chili.
