Valentine’s Day is a famously candy-forward holiday, bolstered by boxes of chocolate and conversation hearts with cheeky messages like “kiss me.” However, if your significant other doesn’t have a sweet tooth or you’re sick of hearts-shaped everything, know that there are plenty of savory gifts available, too. Olympia Provisions makes a salami bouquet (more on that in a minute); you can also buy a decked out Bloody Mary kit, too. Read on to find out where to buy them.
Bloody Mary Kit
This kit includes two different kinds of Bloody Mary mixes—regular and Cucumber Dill—along with mild pickled asparagus, lemon twist olives, and pickled crunchy carrots for fixings. Bloody Mary Gift, $50 at stonewallkitchen.com
Cheese-Lover’s Gift Box
This gift box has essentially everything you need for a good cheese board. There’s cheddar cheese and triple cream, along with two different kinds of crackers—plus, spiced candied walnuts and dried fig jam for serving. Mouth Cheesy Gift Box, $82 at mouth.com
Salami Bouquet
Why get a bouquet of roses when you can get a bouquet made of salami? (Yes, salami.) Olympia Provisions’ six-stem “bouquet” includes the following European-style salami—Cacciatore, Chorizo Rioja, Loukanika, Saucisson Sec, Salami Nola, and Saucisson D’Alsace. Give it as a gift on its own or with other charcuterie items. Olympia Provisions Salami Bouquet, $95 at amazon.com

For pesto lovers, it doesn’t get much better than this set, which includes 12—12!—different pestos from Bella Cucina.

Each jar is six ounces, so your loved ones will have a steady supply of pesto for months. Essential Pesto Tasting Gift Set, $210 at food52.com

Hot Honey
We also love Mike’s Hot Honey because it’s a put-on-anything condiment, from pizza to cheese. It would make a lovely addition to a larger themed condiment set or gift basket. Mike’s Hot Honey, 12-ounce Squeeze Bottle, $8 at amazon.com
