Legend has it that back in Roman times, there was a catholic priest called Valentine who died in the name of love and thus became a saint. Saint Valentine was marrying young legionnaires, despite the ban imposed by Claudius II.

Even though Saint Valentine’s acts led to his imprisonment and death sentence, that didn’t weaken his faith in love.  The word is that through prayer and kindness, Saint Valentine cured his captor’s daughter of her blindness and left her a farewell note signed from your Valentine as a final act before his execution on February 14, 269 AD.

That’s how 14 February became the day when we celebrate love and share little acts of kindness in the form of endearing cards, flowers and chocolates. If you’re wondering what to give for Valentine’s Day, look no further than this sweet trio mentioned above. Deeply rooted in tradition, cards, flowers and chocolates are a lovely way to express your love.  But what if you want to step it up a notch and make your significant other feel extra special? I have three words for you – Valentine’s chocolate bouquets.

Because it combines the powers of the loveliest romantic gifts into an awe-inspiring creation that throws a feast for the eyes, palate and soul. Waking up to an abundance of fine chocolates artfully presented in a lush bouquet on a cold February morning is a truly heart-warming experience.

Valentines chocolate bouquet arrangements are a fusion of sugar, spice and everything nice that leaves no one unimpressed. But you don’t have to take my word for it, you can see for yourself without leaving your home.

Available Online

Just have a look at some of the UK’s finest Valentines chocolate bouquet creations available online. It must be nice to have the talent to turn chocolates into true works of art. But luckily, we don’t have to rely on our own prowess in the arts and crafts on this special day; we can leave it to the pros.

You can easily order meticulously handcrafted edible bouquets from the convenience of your own home and skip Valentine’s shopping frenzy altogether. Some companies offer same day and next day delivery UK-wide, so even if this special date somehow flies under your radar, you can still get your hands on a delightful gift that looks everything but last-minute.

Easily Customisable 

Not only that chocolate bouquet Valentines arrangements come in various shapes, sizes and styles to suit different needs and budgets, but they also allow for easy customisation. In just a few clicks, you can add a personal touch to your gift with a thoughtful message printed on a card or ribbon. What’s more, you can also have your say in what goes into the bouquet which leads us to the next point.

Ferrero RocherWide Choice of Treats

From world-famous Ferrero Rocher, Lindt and Hershey’s to custom-made Swiss chocolate hearts and stars, you can choose a bouquet made of your loved one’s favourite treats for guaranteed smiles and happiness. Moreover, you can have an exquisite bottle of wine or liquor set in the middle of the bouquet to take your gift to the next level. 

Affordable but not Cheap

What’s best about edible Valentine’s bouquets is that even if you’re on a tight budget, you can find a marvellous gift that won’t look cheap or cheesy. With prices starting from as little as £25 there’s something for every wallet. Add the free standard delivery that some companies offer into the equation and you got yourself a pretty sweet Valentine’s deal.  Don’t forget, Valentine’s day gifts don’t have to be expensive to be effective. After all, there’s no greater gift than love. 

Enjoyed to the Fullest

Unlike fresh flowers which sadly end up in the trash after a week or so, chocolates are enjoyed to the fullest even if they’re gone in an instant. They don’t say that the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach for nothing. Enjoying a delectable bunch of sweets together can be a part of the romantic experience. Pair them up with a bubble of bubbly, put on some Berry White magic, and you have a date night to remember.

Memorable 

Chocolate bouquets aren’t an everyday thing (what a shame!), but that’s what makes them so memorable. Unlike boxes of chocolates and wrapped roses, these unique arrangements come with an added flair and WOW factor. Just imagine receiving a lavish Valentine’s chocolate bouquet crafted with YOU in mind. Now, that’s a core memory orb right there.

Symbolic Meaning 

Another great thing about these arrangements is that they carry a strong symbolic and sentimental meaning. Similarly to red roses, chocolate represents love and passion. Wrapped in the colour of love, filled with chocolates and hearts, and topped off with a loving word or two, Valentine’s chocolate bouquets are the epitome of love and romance.

Well-Suited for Everyone

Since Valentine’s Day is the date when we celebrate all kinds of love, not just romantic feelings, you can send a chocolate bouquet to anyone you love, be it a parent, sibling or a friend, to show your heartfelt appreciation. With that being said, you’re now rid of the sweet little gift-buying headaches and all set for the forthcoming Valentine’s Day. Say no to cheesy and boring gifts and spoil your loved ones with a chocolatey masterpiece.
