Good old-fashioned marketing may be the reason why we associate chocolate with Valentine’s Day. But beyond heart-shaped boxes, red-and-pink packaging, and excessively sexy ads, chocolate continues to be a go-to Valentine’s Day gift because, well, who doesn’t love it?
Let’s also not forget the famous claim that chocolate is an aphrodisiac, a belief that likely goes back to the Aztecs. And you know what else may be quite the libido booster?
Below are 10 Valentine’s Day gifts worthy of any (chocolate) lover, from the purist to the free spirit to the ultimate sophisticate. Every item below is dairy-free and gluten-free. Most are vegan and nut-free (except the Alchemy collection). All are guaranteed to satisfy that special someone. Order by Monday, February 9 to receive your chocolate on time for Valentine's Day.
*Also ... if you will be in the San Francisco Bay Area this Valentine's Day, find a special opportunity at the end of this list.

This tasting kit includes 18 mini bars, two tasting plates, and a guide that covers everything you need for an unforgettable Valentine’s.
Our full Alchemy collection features Ecuadorian culinary treasures like Galapagos sea salt, Andean mints, Amazonian ants, and malva flowers (another aphrodisiac). You can also upgrade to the Alchemy Grande 8-Pack for more chocolate (always a good idea!).
A trilogy of To’ak dark chocolate aged with ancestral aromatic essences: Palo Santo, White Copal, and White Sage. Each honors the practice of ceremonial smudging in Indigenous cultures across the Americas.
