Merch Monday Roundup 2/7 — Valentine’s Day 2022!

Welcome back to this week’s Merch Monday Roundup! Can you believe Valentine’s Day is a week away? If you’re still looking for the perfect foodie gift, we understand! We’ve picked out some of the best gifts to give this Valentine’s Day — no chocolate required (but also, who doesn’t want some delicious chocolate for Valentine’s Day?).

If there’s one thing every foodie needs, it’s a nice set of dinnerwear. Lenox has been a leader in high-quality dinnerwear for some time — since the late 1800s, in fact! My parents and grandparents always had Lenox in their homes, and now as an adult, I have Lenox items as well. But I also live in an apartment, and space can get tight! Enter the Lenox Luna Dinnerware set.

This beautiful set includes six bowls and two plates — perfect for one or two people. This set stacks together, so you don’t have to take up valuable cabinet space. You can also set this as a centerpiece and wow guests with it! This set will run you $172, but it’s a small price to pay for quality items.

Nothing says love like the gift of groceries! Since the start of the pandemic, grocery and food delivery services have been booming, and there are plenty of options to choose from! Recently I tried Hungryroot, which delivers healthy groceries and even includes recipes for what they bring! You can customize your order to reflect dietary needs or restrictions, and each recipe is pretty easy (and quick!) to make. Both my boyfriend and I work full-time jobs, and Hungryroot has made it easy for us to eat healthily, and not spend a ton of time in the kitchen. Plans start at $65 — and seriously, who would say no to the gift of groceries?

Valentine’s Day gifts don’t have to be hard! From practical gifts to something more traditional, here are our pics for this year’s foodie gifts!

If you are looking for something more traditional, Simply Chocolate’s Decadent Valentine Gift Basket is perfect! This beautiful set comes in 4 unique baskets, full of chocolate. No matter which one you get, don’t sleep on their chocolate-covered Oreos, they are divine! If you’re more into the do-it-yourself aspect, I adore this Bloody Mary Kit and Garnishes from Harry and David. Bloody Mary’s might be a brunch staple, but these deep red drinks make the best (if not macabre) Valentine’s Day drink! Harry and Davis make quality items, and while I’m sad I can’t visit their stores in my local mall, I’m thrilled that I can still buy from them online!

If your Valentine is more into baking their own sweets, this Trudeau 12ct Silicone Heart Donut Baking Pan is simply too cute to pass up! Plus at $14.99 you won’t be breaking the bank! Target also has a number of other cute baking items, such as the Dash Heart Mini Waffle Maker ($9.99), a 2pc Hearts Oven Mitt and Pot Holder Set ($10), so you can truly create your own gift basket.
