Five Creative Candy Gifts for Valentine's Day

When all else fails, and you can think of the perfect gift to give a friend, family member, or significant other, candy is always a safe go-to. No one will be disappointed by delicious candy (and if they are, maybe you should be concerned).

Obviously giving the gift of candy is good for any occasion, but with Valentine’s Day fast approaching, consider presenting your loved one with one of these creative candy gifts.

Kelliloons Tender Teddy, Candy, and Balloons

Perfect for a kid, friend, or girlfriend, this teddy, candy, and balloon combo is enough to brighten anyone’s day. The snuggly teddy bear comes in purple or red with an attached balloon and kosher candies. The best part of this gift? When the candies are all gone, the teddy is still there as a constant reminder for your loved about how much you care for them. And if your significant other isn’t a fan of teddy bears, there is also the option to get them an adorable dog instead.

Theater Box Candy and Balloons

If your gift receiver isn’t a huge chocolate fan, consider giving them classic theater candy instead. Present them with some Red Hots (and maybe even include a cheesy note about how “red hot” they are) along with a Valentine’s Day balloon. And maybe if you’re lucky, they’ll share some of that awesome theater candy with you.

Lollipop Bouquet

A bouquet of flowers is nice. But a bouquet of lollipops? Even nicer. Instead of giving someone flowers, get creative and make them a bouquet of delicious lollipops, like the Original Gourmet Lollipops. Making a bouquet of pops is actually really simple, and only requires an inexpensive flower pot, styrofoam, and, obviously, and variety of lollipops. This gift can also double as a cute, decorative table topper for someone’s kitchen. So it’s really two gifts in one, and who doesn’t love that?

Tumbler Full of Jelly Bellys

There aren’t many kids who would turn down Jelly Bellys, so consider filling a cute themed tumbler with an assortment of the appetizing jelly beans for a Valentine’s Day gift. You can either stack them by color or throw them all together randomly. But really, you might just be better of throwing them in randomly, because without a doubt, your kid will be dumping those jelly beans out of the tumbler faster than you can say “Happy Valentine’s Day!”.

Candy Wreath

For that candy bar lover in your life, go the extra mile and make them a candy wreath for Valentine’s Day, their birthday, or just to show them how much you appreciate them. Most craft stores like Michael’s or Hobby Lobby carry wreaths made for decorating yourself that are relatively cheap. Buy individual candy bars - think Butterfingers, 3 Musketeers, or Almond Joy, to name a few - and superglue them around the wreath. Add a bow to the top, and you’ve created the cutest and most delicious gift ever.

Even if you already have something big planned to give your loved one for Valentine’s Day or their birthday, consider giving them the gift of candy just to say you love them. They will love you for it (and so will their taste buds).
