23 irresistible treats and treat boxes for your Valentine (or for you!)

Lynda Keogh

Some people say I love you with cards, flowers, gifts.. Other people are feeders. Like me.

Cookies, cake, brownies, donuts, chocolate and all things involving sugar solve just about everything in my books. I’m the type of person that will always send cakes, bring cakes, bake cakes – my friends pretend that this annoys them, or that it will ruin their week of healthy eating, but we all know that I’m going home with an empty cake tin.

These treats look so good they would brighten anyone’s day and remind them of how loved they are, orrrr, treat yourself hun – you deserve a bit of love too! Check out this list of cute treat boxes to send your Galentines, Palentines or if you’re keeping it traditional – you can also send to your Valentines too I guess!

Bean & Goose

When in doubt – chocolate always goes down a treat. Bean and Goose have the most insane flavours that sound incredible; smoky sea salt, sour cherry, umami and more!

Finch & Berry 

Is it just me or does the idea of chocolate dipped strawberries just conjure visions of bougie movie scenes? Finch & Berry are EXTRAAA AF and we love. They’ve so many options to choose from – a heart shaped box, add champagne or fresh flowers! You can even get an edible bouquet of chocolate dipped strawberries, its a solid yes from us.

The Baker’s Niece

Good GOD. It was so hard to choose just one picture to showcase these drool-worthy treat boxes: there are treat boxes full of cookies and half-baked brookies (brownie-cookies).. But why not declare your love with this bad boy, a cookie cake. Yes a deep-dish, cookie cake.

Póg

Póg is already well-known on the brunch scene – specifically for their ridiculously delish pancake stacks, but check out this Valentine’s box. It looks amazing, you can even add a bottle of fizz for fun!

The Saucy Baker 

It’s safe to say that a treat box like this is not just for Valentine’s Day, also for anyyyy day of the week! The Saucy Baker has so many options – a full box of incredible cookies, rocky roads or maybe a brownie selection box? We need ALL of it.

Mud, you had us at Valentine’s Grazing Box. I imagine myself taking bites at random in front of soppy rom-com, in pink PJs and fluffy slippers holding my non-existent lap dog .. a girl can dream!

Ciara’s Candy 

You have someone in your life who isn’t mad on chocolate, and doesn’t do cake – why not a bag of old school jelly sweets? Think marshmallows, sour rings, juicy lips, bon bone, milk teeth. Go pink themed for the week that’s in it! You can order online and Ciara deliver’s nationwide, so handy and a nice pick-me-up for a far away friend.

Passion Berries 

Personally, I think that chocolate covered strawberries should be consumed in a fluffy bathrobe, a glass of champagne, with a facemask on (of the hydrating kind!) and a movie. Passion Berry have a really cute selection of chocolate dipped strawberries with some amazing toppings. Anyone would be delighted to receive a box of these cuties!
