In case you missed it (or totally forgot), Valentine’s Day is this Friday, February 14. In addition to romantic dinners, Galentine’s festivities, and quality time together, V-day is the perfect excuse to show your partner how much you care for them with a token of appreciation. If gift-giving is your partner’s love language, here are 11 last-minute Valentine’s gifts for foodies that will not only arrive before Friday, but appear as though you’ve been planning the gift for months.
