Valentine's Cookie Gifts: A Gifting Guide

"Last minute gas station run" is not the vibe this year.

Valentine's Day is almost here, and if you're anything like me, you've got a mental list of people you want to show some love to—but zero idea what to actually get them.

Chocolate? Overdone.

Flowers? They'll be dead by Tuesday.

A stuffed bear holding a heart? We can do better. (Ok, actually I still want the stuffed bear....)

This year, I built the Valentine's collection around one question:

Who are you gifting, and what would make them feel genuinely special?

Here's your guide to matching the perfect dye-free cookie gift to every person on your list.

For the One Who Deserves the Grand Gesture

Dozen Roses Cookie Bouquet

Twelve cookie pops arranged in an actual bouquet. It's giving romance, it's giving effort, it's giving "I didn't wait until February 13th."

Perfect for: Your partner, your spouse, the person you're trying to impress. Anyone who deserves flowers that taste better and last longer (well, until they eat them).

The showstopper. The go big or go home.

For the Chocolate Box Traditionalist

Box of Chocolates Mini Set

Eight mini cookies decorated to look like a heart-shaped box of chocolates—but plot twist, they're actually delicious. And dye-free.

Perfect for: Your mom, your best friend, anyone who loves the idea of a chocolate box but always ends up with that weird orange cream one.

You pick the flavor! No biting into a funky texture or flavor because 'flavor guide' on the back all looks the same (or they just don't give you one)

For Your Other Half (Literally)

"We Go Together Like..." Box Set

Two toast-shaped cookies decorated as peanut butter and jelly. Because some things just belong together.

Perfect for: Your partner, your best friend, your sister, your work wife. Anyone who gets the other half of your brain.

Adorable, punny, and under $20.

For the Sweet Tooth with a Sense of Humor

"So Beary Sweet" Box Set

Three mini cookies decorated as gummy bears. The cutest thing you'll see all week, I promise.

Perfect for: Your funny friend who appreciates a good visual pun.

For the Teacher Who Deserves a Raise (and that's all of them)

Classroom Set

Fifteen mini cat squishy cookies on "Squishing You a Happy Valentine's Day" backers for the kids, PLUS a personalized heart pencil cookie with the teacher's name on it.

Perfect for: Your kid's teacher. The one who deals with 20+ tiny humans all day and deserves something better than a mug.

For the "Just a Little Something" Moments

Mini Cookie Cards

Choose from "I Love Our FriendChip" (with a chocolate chip cookie decoration) or "You Light Up My Life" (with a light bulb). Small, punny, perfect.

Perfect for: Coworkers, neighbors, Galentine's Day exchanges, adorable add on gift.

The $8 hero of your Valentine's list.

For the Person Who's Hard to Shop For

Personalized Gift Boxed Cookie

A large heart cookie with their name or a custom message, or a heart-shaped pencil cookie personalized just for them. Boxed and ready to gift.

Perfect for: The person who "doesn't need anything." The one who's impossible to buy for. The one who always says "You don't have to get me anything." (Sounds like a trap to me) Personalization = instant thoughtfulness points.

When in doubt, put their name on it.

For Your Snack-Obsessed Friend

"Love Bites" Cookie Pouch

Six minis in a resealable pouch. Cute name, practical packaging, zero guilt about eating them all in one sitting (or saving some for later, I guess).

Perfect for: Your snacky friend, a self-love treat, anyone who appreciates good portion control... or the option to ignore it entirely.

For the Creative One (or the Kids' Table)

DIY Decorating Kit

Twelve cookies, three bags of icing, a scribe tool, sprinkles, instructions—all packed in a Cupid Delivery box. Basically, a Valentine's party in a box.

Perfect for: Kids, families, your crafty friend, Galentine's night activity, date night

It's a gift AND an experience, my absolute favorite
