JANUARY 27, 2024
Don’t get us wrong. Chocolate is lovely, but if you’re looking for a gift that will last beyond one night or gets outside of the traditional range of Valentine’s Day, check out this list of 20 gorgeous, interactive, or self-care-themed vegan products that will leave your special someone feeling, well, extra special this February 14.
What is a good alternative to chocolate on Valentine’s Day?
Chocolate is a popular and traditional choice for Valentine’s Day (fun fact: research suggests that 36 million heart-shaped boxes of chocolate are sold each year!), but it’s far from the only gift option.
Depending on your Valentine’s likes and interests, you could treat them to their favorite alcoholic tipple, a new bottle of their go-to fragrance, or even some cozy pajamas. You’ll find all of these on our list below, alongside plenty of other gift options that are perfect for showing your person just how appreciated they are.
And, of course, a meal out always goes down well, too. So if you’re looking for a vegan restaurant suggestion that’s sure to please, check out the best vegan restaurants in the US as voted by VegNews readers.
