Plus, it comes in an easy-to-use squeeze tube that'll make them wonder why all olive oil doesn't come like this.
Promising review: "Delicious olive oil (still yummy enough to bake with, dunk bread, or drizzle on ice cream), but I love cooking with Sizzle! It's mild and the squeeze bottle has truly changed my life. I feel like I have so much more control over the amount of oil I'm using. I quickly used my first bottle and this was me stocking up!

This stuff is unreal!!! My parents got it as a gift and couldn't believe the flavor when they first tasted it. They shoved it under my nose with slices of gorgeous, crusty bread and demanded I try it for myself. I couldn't believe how strongly the pesto flavor came through without being overwhelming or tasting in *any way* fake. My tastebuds were almost confused as to how this flavor was coming straight out of olive oil with no pesto anywhere to be seen. A little goes a long way. I can't recommend this enough!

11. Some Maldon sea salt flakes so you can be their own personal salt bae this V-Day and give any dish a luxurious finishing touch.
Promising review: "Most casual cooks are completely unaware that there are so many different types of salts that are used for so many different functions in the kitchen and in the course of cooking. I classify Maldon salt as a 'finishing salt' in my kitchen. I don't use it to salt pasta water or preseason proteins, but rather use it at the very end to finish items, and it makes an enormous difference in what you put on the table and put into your mouth! They are glistening shards that look like glass that crumble easily between your fingers, so when you put it on top of your finished fish or chicken or steak or a top your vegetables, as it starts to melt, your dish absolutely GLISTENS and has a flavor unlike anything else — unlike what any other salt will impart to the dish that you serve to yourself or to your guests! I simply cannot imagine completing a dish without my box of Maldon salt!" —Lee
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Valentine's Day (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
12. A cult-favorite popcorn salt — it'll give them instant movie theater flavor by using fine season salt flakes that actually stick to the kernels instead of just falling to the bottom of the bowl like ground salt. Anyone who has worked at theaters, amusement parks, or carnivals has probably seen this secret ingredient that the pros don't want you to know about, so if you're looking for that classic flavor — start here!
Promising review: "I used to use Flavacol during my time working at an amusement park and popping popcorn for hungry guests, so I knew this was what the 'professionals' use. I am happy to report that using this does make your popcorn taste like it was just popped at a movie theater. I like to put a little bit of oil on my kernels, mix in some Flavacol, and then add it to the pot of oil on my stove top when it's hot enough (as opposed to sprinkling it on top of freshly popped corn, which I could see easily accidentally adding too much). It also means that I'm no longer loading up my popcorn with additional toppings like butter or plain salt. Yum!" —Kate R.

13. A variety pack of Truff sauces — featuring the Original, Hotter, and White Truff hot sauces — ready to throw a party for their tastebuds and work their way into way more meals and snacks than you'd expect!
This stuff is excellent and really grows on you! The first time I tried it, I wasn't entirely sure how I felt, but by the end of the first week, I found myself reaching for it with almost every meal. While all three options have a lot of similarities, they each have their own distinct personality. At first, they were all a little creamier and almost...tomato-y (?) tasting than I expected. Then, I realized there was NO dairy or tomato present at all, but a thickness and slight sweetness almost reminiscent of red bell peppers. The truffle flavor is present but subtle, and the sauce has a solid kick without being overwhelmingly hot. As far as the differences between the three, the White Truff sauce is a hint sweeter than the other two, the Original has a slightly earthier flavor than the others, and the extra spiciness of the Hotter Truff sauce spreads through the mouth quicker and is definitely hotter than the rest. Verdict: They're all really good! So far, these sauces have shined brightest when added to a nice tomato sauce, drizzled over a slice of pizza, scooped up by crispy french fries, and, believe it or not, even added to a salad dressing, but that's still barely scratching the surface! Plus it comes in a very classy looking box that's great for gifts.
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Valentine's Day (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
Orders from Truff will be fulfilled and shipped within 1–2 business days. Once your order is shipped, it normally takes 3–5 business days for your order to be delivered depending on your region. Visit Truff's FAQ page for more details. If you're concerned about it arriving on time for Valentine's Day, you can get a digital gift card instead!
Get it from Amazon or Truff for $69.99, or try just the Original for $17.98, the White Truff sauce for $34.99, and Hotter Truff sauce for $17.98.
14. Or a jar of Sabatino truffle seasoning that'll add a pure, yet delicate truffle flavor to any dish. The truffle fan in your life will love this!
Promising review: "I am a chef and have tasted lots of truffles and truffle preparations. This is not the most pungent truffle condiment, but it is one of the truest. The aroma is quite strong, but the flavor is somewhat delicate. Since it doesn’t contain much sodium, you can pile it on to your heart's content. I’ve put it on soups, eggs, sandwiches, cheese, and whatever I want to truffle. Oils with synthetic truffle aroma will give you more of a wallop, but that overpowering blunt force is why lots of chefs don’t like the fake stuff. This is a much more natural black truffle flavor, although it doesn’t diffuse as much as high quality black truffle, which almost gets into your skin when you eat it. If someone were curious what black truffles taste like, this would be a great introduction." —EagerEyes
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Valentine's Day (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (also avaiable as a pack of two).
15. Some super rich chocolate walnut cookies from Levain Bakery that might just be the most luxurious-tasting cookies I've ever had.
Levain Bakery recommends that you put these in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for five minutes, and I will second this suggestion. They'll taste freshly baked as if they were made in your own kitchen, full of a generous amount of delicious gooey chocolate balanced with tasty walnut pieces, all inside an incredibly soft, super thick cookie that'll spoil you for all future desserts.
Shipping info: You can select your ideal delivery date at checkout. Levain recommends selecting a date 1–2 days in advance if you'd like delivery by a specific date. They bake cookies to order and try to minimize the time cookies are in transit to 2 days for freshness.
Get a gift wrapped pack of four from Levain Bakery for $27.
16. A delicious gift box of organic spices and seasonings intended for grilling ideal for your partner that just *loves* to be behind a grill.
You can choose from a variety of combos, from special sea salts to BBQ flavors. For example, the grilling-themed box above includes seasoning blends like "Smokey Southwest," "Citrus Pepper," "Fresh Bay," "Peppered Habenero," and more. They're from a small, family-owned business based in Jacksonville, Florida, that donates a meal to a child in need for each box sold!
Promising review: "The packaging was awesome! When you looked at the little glass jars, you expected there to be really great product on the inside — not some cheap spices you could buy at any local store — and that’s exactly what we got! I bought these at the Father’s Day gift for my dad who is an avid griller and smoker. All of the spices had a unique flavor that was very robust and distinct. I would definitely recommend this." —Stephanie Brosch

The blend of Red Boat fish sauce, lime juice, cane sugar, thai dried chili flakes, and toasted rice powder is truly magic.

Here's what BuzzFeed Editor Heather Braga has to say about it:
"Anyone who has spent some time at the Disney Parks knows the delightful taste of Joffrey's Coffee — it goes hand in hand with the experience. It's served in the Disney Resorts and at the parks. One sip of this and I was immediately transported to the lil' coffee clutch right outside the entrance to Animal Kingdom. Definitely treat yourself to some of these beans and check out the entire Disney Speciality Coffee Collection."

19. An excellent Gourmet Fries Seasonings Salt and Vinegar perfect for salt and vin chip fans who wanna apply that same winning concept to fries, popcorn, and pretty much anything else they can think of!
Promising review: "BEST VINEGAR SEASONING EVER. I’ve tried a lot of different brands of salt and vinegar here on Amazon and even fancied the Buffalo Wild Wings brand, but all of them had a sweet tinge that I couldn’t get over. When I think of salt and vinegar, I’m thinking of nose burning, savory Lays or better yet Utz or Wise flavoring. None of those came close except for this one. I’m buying more bottles to store in case they ever decide it was good idea to discontinue. 😄 I put it on everything!!! Noodles, popcorn, chicken wings, fries, burgers, the list goes on and on. Thank you for making such a great product!" —Jeffrey Serrano

Reviewers say it's also super soothing for sore throats and colds.
Check it out on TikTok here!
Promising review: "This is now a staple for my kitchen. How I cooked without it before, I'll never know. Makes the best vinaigrette ever, quick pan sauces for pork, unexpected zip in dozens of dishes. Does it come in gallons? Have given it as hostess gifts several times and everyone gets hooked." —Martha Ronemus

21. Or Zab's Hot Honey, which uses spicy (and delicious) datil peppers grown and hand picked exclusively in St. Augustine, Florida, to add a uniquely flavored zing to pretty much any dish you can think of. They'll love drizzling it over pizza, into sauces and marinades, onto cheese boards, and pretty much anywhere else for a slow-burning kick that doesn't taste quite like any other hot honey I've ever tried.
Zab’s was created to share the Datil Pepper’s one-of-a-kind history and heat. They make Datil Pepper hot sauces that pay tribute to the pepper’s naturally perfect balance of sweet heat and signature slow burn.

V Smiley Preserves is a queer-owned small business based in Vermont that puts 25% of their proceeds toward the Trans Justice Funding Project. Here's what the founder has to say about how their jam is made! "[My partner] Amy and I moved back to Vermont (to the farm where I grew up and where my mom still lives/works) to begin the slow process of 'farm transferral' with V Smiley Preserves as the recipient of the land’s productivity. Amy grows ingredients for V Smiley Preserves (berries, rose geranium, tomatoes, peppers) and together we harvest the fruit that my mother has planted on the farm over her nearly 50 years of caring for the 150-acre farm (mostly berries, rhubarb and apples)."
Shipping info: Orders are processed and shipped within three business days of order receipt. Visit V Smiley Preserves shipping page for more details.
Get it from V Smiley Preserves for $21+ (available in two sizes).

24. A jar of Matiz Sofrito that's ideal for making a next-level paella, but is also a fantastic sauce for meats, fish, pasta, eggs, and more!

Matiz works with the small family producer Estilo Kiki in Valencia, Spain, to produce this handmade sofrito.

Promising review: "This za'atar is the best quality I have found. I've also found that the balance of sumac and thyme to be just right. This instantly spices up my boring meal prep food and I put it on my chicken, meats, salads, yogurt, or just in olive oil — basically it makes everything taste so much better. I highly recommend it!" —TC

28. Some amazing hot sauces from Hot N Saucy for your *hot* S.O. These sauces mix flavors like garlic, beet, and sweet potato with just the right amount of heat to make them feel like you've entered hot sauce heaven.
29. A splurge-worthy tin of smoked Atlantic salmon here to make them rethink their expectations when it comes to tinned fish. This stuff comes straight out of the can looking almost like salmon sashimi, and has a wonderfully fresh, rich, and smoky flavor. Plus, the packaging is so cute, they might just wanna keep the box.
Fishwife is a new female-founded and led food company aiming to make ethically sourced, premium, and delicious tinned seafood a staple in every cupboard.
This salmon is sourced directly from Kvarøy Arctic, fed a sustainable, nutrient-rich diet, raised without antibiotics or chemicals, smoked in small batches over a mix of beech, maple, and birch wood, hand-packed, and canned by fifth-generation family-run cannery on the central coast of Washington.
I love salmon. Raw, smoked, grilled, baked, fried — I love it all. So when my friend gifted me this tinned smoked salmon, my curiosity was piqued. The packaging was so adorable, I wondered if the fish would measure up to the presentation. Spoiler alert: It absolutely did. I was used to smoked salmon coming in relatively thin slices. These were thick, meaty chunks that reminded me of the texture of my girlfriend's dad's homemade gravlax. The flavor was fresh yet smoky (but not overwhelmingly so), a little sweet, a little salty, and full of umami. It's great atop rice, toast, bagels, salad — you name it!
Promising review: "Soooo yummy :) I’m so glad I found Fishwife! You’ve made my quick "what’s to eat" decisions so much easier! Delicious on a salad (makes an instant meal!), on crackers with olives, on a sandwich with a ripe tomato, just can’t go wrong! The fact that these are whole chunks of salmon, marinated in Fishwifey magic sets it apart from any other form of salmon I’ve ever tried. Bought myself a dozen cans for my birthday, I love it so much. Never stop making this, please. 😻" —Renee B.
Shipping info: Orders will ship out within one week of purchase (heads up that Fishwife doesn't ship on weekends). Please allow 2–7 business days for UPS delivery. Visit Fishwife's FAQ page for more info, and if you're concerned about it arriving on time, you can get a digital gift card instead!
Get a pack of three from Fishwife for $33.
30. Some incredibly tasty garlic-flavored roasted peanuts that are fantastic on their own but also pair nicely with a cold beer. After I tried these for the first time, I was instantly obsessed.
"How do they get these to taste so garlicky without removing the shells??" That was the first thought that crossed my mind when I tasted these, the second thought being "I will never stop eating these peanuts." Some are more garlicky than others, and each peanut almost has its own flavor, but the inconsistency is kinda.. what I like about them? They feel and taste a little more naturally prepared than other mass-produced flavored peanuts, but then again I know nothing about the preparation process so that could just be my perception! I also kinda forgot about the simple joy of removing peanut shells until I got these. Sometimes it's fun to have a little activity to do while snacking. I really can't say enough about the incredible depth of flavor these have. They are one of my new favorite snacks.
Shipping info: Orders typically ship within 48 hours, although that can be delayed 2–3 additional days due to weekends, holidays, and item availability. Expedited options are available at additional shipping cost. Visit Just Asian Food's shipping and delivery policy page for more details.
Get it from Just Asian Food for $4.69.
31. A bottle of all-natural, non-GMO, and gluten-free Tia Lupita Hot Sauce made from perfectly ripened red chili peppers with toasted spices and a little vinegar zing — *without* binders or preservatives. This stuff offers deep, rich, complex, and well-rounded flavor that'll kick everything from tacos, tamales, eggs, sandwiches, soups, fried chicken, and more up a notch.
When Hector Saldivar moved from Mexico to San Francisco, his mother, known affectionately as Tia Lupita, would ship him bottles of her homemade hot sauce — a family recipe considered to be a valuable heirloom handed down from generation to generation. When Hector shared Tia's sauce with friends, they couldn't get enough of the incredible blend of heat and flavor. Hector then asked for his mother's permission to bottle the sauce for all to enjoy, which resulted in this small batch company.
Promising review: "This is the perfect hot sauce, well-balanced and not too overpowering on foods. I love it on tamales, but it's great on everything. Great thickish consistency and pretty color. This is a staple in our house — I always have at least one backup on hand." —Kati P.
Shipping info: Visit the product page on Amazon for your shipping estimate (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
Get it from Tia Lupita for $6.99 (also available in multipacks) or Amazon for $7.99.
32. A bar of brown butter dark chocolate — it'll melt in their mouth and delight their taste buds with its creamy and smooth texture, rich 70% cacao dark chocolate flavor, and slightly salty butteriness that'll make them feel like they're experiencing the height of chocolate luxury.
I crave this bar all the time now. I'm a sucker for slightly salty chocolate, and the addition of brown butter flavor solidifies this as one of my favorites.
Promising review: "Fantastic. Smooth. You can really taste the browned butter; and the dash of salt makes it very delicious. I'm extremely impressed that they kept it 70% even with the added butter, and with the care it takes to brown butter consistently and the high quality of this bar overall." —Danica Stone

Dan-O's seasoning is a small business adored across TikTok for cooking tips and recipe ideas. Check out their full selection of seasoning, including original and spicy varieties, here.
Promising review: "I became interested in this product while watching TikToks. I have been adding it to so many things. I use it in spaghetti, on fish, and one of my favorites is to add it to popcorn. My husband had to ask why my popcorn smelled like steak. I love the fact that it is low sodium as well.
