Foodie gift guide for special someone
Valentine’s Day can be extra special if you have a foodie in your life — here are some delicious ideas to mark the day:
Breakfast in bed
For the person who loves snowy mornings with waffles, give a bottle of Runamok Maple’s amazing organic Cinnamon & Vanilla Infused
Maple Syrup. Breakfast in bed, anyone? Produced and bottled in Vermont, this is a New England treat. Sold at American Provisions, 613 E. Broadway, South Boston; Cardullo’s, 6 Brattle St., Cambridge; and other fine retailers. runamokmaple.com
For the office
Bring in something different to the office this year. Alchemista, a Boston-based catering company, creates personalizable, edible gifts! Things like edible “sticky notes” (yes, that is edible ink!) and personalized lollipops are a unique way to show your coworkers that you care. Alchemista, 164 Lincoln St., alchemista.com. Chocolate lover Think outside the chocolate box this year and go for Kane’s Donuts! Their special doughnut this month is the “Chocolate Orgasm,” which is sure to please any chocolate lover that you know.
The Chocolate Orgasm is a cakestyle doughnut filled with creamy chocolate pudding, dipped in Hersey’s chocolate syrup and rolled in crushed chocolate cookies. 90 Oliver St., Boston; and 120 Lincoln Ave., Saugus.

Instead of just a bottle of their favorite wine, treat the wine fan in your life to this year’s Nantucket Food & Wine Festival. Tickets are available for the four-day event held May 15-19 this year. Get your tickets at nantucketwinefestival.com/ events/. Coffee enthusiast
