Let’s give gourmet gifts to his or her Valentine, for a deliciously romantic Valentine’s Day.
THE CLASSICS OF THE GENRE
If you lack inspiration, you can always rely on well-installed essentials that work every time. Bouquet of flowers, box of Valentine’s Day chocolates to share, and champagne are the winning trio for the lovers’ celebration. But they are not the only ones, and the classic version is also adaptable!
Roses can, for example, be offered through the floral notes of a rosé champagne, and chocolate can be enjoyed in bite-sized pieces, but also as a spreadable cream. This year, let’s put aphrodisiac foods in the spotlight: jam, tea and ginger concentrates will be offered with open arms, for a day that will make you flutter.
THE HEART, EMBLEM OF THE FEAST
This year again, we don’t change a winning team, the heart shape is still in the spotlight on February 14. Donuts, macarons and even casseroles, all highlight the emblematic sign of Love, with products in the shape of a heart, quite simply.
CUSTOMIZED GIFTS
On February 14, the champagne flows freely, special editions from the greatest pastry chefs flow and the imagination runs wild. In love, opposites attract. So offer a duo of spreads, one soft, the other crispy from Maison Caffet; a tangy raspberry jam softened with white chocolate at La Chambre aux Confitures or vanilla-strawberry macaroons from Ladurée. As Valentine’s Day is celebrated with breakfast, jams in customizable boxes remind your other half in the morning that you are thinking of them, or scented ginger tea with aphrodisiac properties. Do you want to pull out all the stops? Dazzle your Valentine with a magnificent Matcha bowl from the Conservatoire des Hémisphères. Ideal for your loved one to prepare their favorite teas in the pure Japanese tradition. So many touching and affectionate ideas that we present to you below.
