Diet Valentine Gifts

1. No Calories

Himala Salt:
Pretty In Pink

This will be a big hit with your Valentine: Once he or she tastes it, there’s no going back to supermarket salt. Ethically sourced from mines in the foothills of the Himalayas, this salt comes with many claims, including anti-aging, mental clarity, better moods, purification and detoxification. No aphrodisiac qualities are implied, but you can induce those. It’s also certified kosher. There are quite a few product options on the website, HimalaSalt.com

Teas’ Tea Rose Green Tea:
Roses To Drink

Everything will be rosy once your Valentine tastes this rose petal infused green tea. The Teas’ Tea brand from Japan’s Ito En is, in our opinion, the finest tea put in a bottle. Send your Valentine a case...and, while you’re at it, a bouquet of roses, too, for a double-non-caloric Valentine gift. Read our full review of Ito En Teas, a NIBBLE Top Pick Of The Week.

2. Low Calories

Edible Arrangements:
Low-Calorie Fruit Baskets

If your Valentine is on a diet—or simply prefers healthy eating—a basket of fresh fruits sculpted and arranged to look like a basket of flowers may be just the thing. The arrangement of melon, pineapple, grapes and berries elicits a “wow” from everyone who receives one. We wish someone would send us one every week!

Melissa’s World Variety Produce:
Exotic & Tropical Fruit Sampler

If your Valentine lives in a town with limited access to exciting fresh fruits and vegetables, check out the selection at Melissa’s. Depending on what’s in season, this fruit basket can contain Asian pears, baby pineapples, blood oranges, cherimoyas, coconuts, feijoas, kiwis, kumquats, lychees, mangoes, persimmons, pomegranates, passion fruit, pepino melons, sapotes, specialty bananas, strawberry papayas, tamarillos and starfruit. At Melissas.com.

Willapa Oysters:
Heaven On The Half Shell

We won’t point out that oysters are an aphrodisiac. Instead, we’ll say that these are the best oysters we’ve ever had (they’re a NIBBLE Top Pick Of The Week). We might pledge eternal love to whomever supplied us with a weekly delivery. They are harvested to order and shipped to you; there’s no fresher oyster than the ones you got at the seashore. And no purer ones either: Willapa Bay is rated the cleanest estuary in the U.S. Read our full review of Willapa Bay Oysters.

3. Sugar Free

Enstrom’s Toffee:
Sugar-Free & Fabulous

Our favorite classic buttery toffee also comes in a sugar-free version that’s so good, you can’t tell the difference from the sugar version. It’s also certified kosher (dairy) by Scroll K. Read our full review of Enstrom’s Toffee, a NIBBLE Top Pick Of The Week.

Martine’s Chocolate:
Solid Dark Or Milk

Martine has hot pink Valentine’s Day packaging, and her sugar-free chocolate tastes hot, too. If your Valentine doesn’t like the fancy stuff, there are adorable solid bars and almond bark, in milk or dark chocolate. If he or she does want a box of classic bonbons, there’s a selection of Belgian shapes (fleur-de-lis, crown, marquise, swirl, etc.) filled with milk or dark chocolate and finely-chopped almonds and pecans. Read our full review of Martine’s Chocolates.

Telluride Truffle:
Sugar-Free Truffles & Ganaches

We’re grateful that someone is making chocolate this sexy and tasty for those who can’t have sugar. The jars of ganache (fudge sauces) made with maltitol aren’t as pretty but taste even better: Grab a spoon and party! Read our full review of Telluride Truffle, a NIBBLE Top Pick Of The Week.
