Feel like you’ve been struck by cupid’s arrow lately? You’re not the only one — Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! Finding the perfect V-Day gift can seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be — you just need to stick to the classics. For example, they say the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach. If this adage rings true for you and your lover, it makes sense to woo them with food. We’re not talking about a box of chocolates from the supermarket — this celebration calls for something a little more luxe.
We’re here to help you score some serious brownie points with your partner with the best Valentine’s Day hampers.
Best of both worlds
If you don’t want to overdo it on the charcuterie but you also don’t want to go overboard on the choccies, why not have both? A mix of different flavour profiles in your Valentine’s gift box will ensure your lover can enjoy the tantalising allure of sweet and savoury together. Our exceptional seasonal fruits make up the base offering of this box, which is then loaded with treats such as creamy camembert and Brillat Savarin cheese, Nina’s rich Belgian chocolates and the sensory delights of Maya Sunny Honey Macadamia Crunch. These hampers are then topped off with your choice of Moet, Veuve or a devilishly delicious dessert wine.
Cheese to please
No, we’re not talking about schmaltz — we literally mean giving the gift of cheese. A Valentine’s Day basket focused on everyone’s favourite dairy treat is the perfect gift for the turophile in your life. Our Cheese Heaven boxes are all loaded with the best cheese from around the country, sourced from small-batch artisan farms for that extra luxe touch. Tuck into Meredith Dairy goats cheese, rich and buttery Yarra Valley Yering cheese and The Fine Cheese Co. Damson Paste. Combined with our famous fruits and your choice of bubbles, wine or whiskey, this is a gift designed to savour slowly.
Sweets for my sweet
As a holiday typically associated with chocolate and candy, it makes sense to lean into the sweet vibes for your Valentine’s Day gift box. Our Sweet Temptations hampers have been curated to highlight some of Australia’s best artisan makers alongside our own famous fruits. Rich Belgian chocolates, chunky Turkish delight packed with flavour, plus light-as-a-feather white chocolate honeycomb mingle with our farm-fresh fruits to create a hamper as beautiful as it is tasty. You can also choose which bottle of booze will take centre stage of your Sweet Temptations box — select from a cabernet sauvignon from The Dark Horse or Koonara, top-shelf bubbles from Dom Perignon, Moet or Veuve, or a bottle of shiraz from Keith Tulloch.
Bottles of bubbles
Wine and fruit — can you think of a better culinary combination? These two gastronomic superstars are a perfect match for your Valentine’s Day hamper. Something like a bottle of Veuve or Moet nestled in amongst an array of the most beautiful (and delicious) seasonal fruits is a classic choice that is guaranteed to satisfy. You can even up the romance factor by adding some melt-in-your mouth Belgian chocolates if you fancy.
Spirited away
Bubbles and vino aren’t your only options for a delightful grown-up hamper. Why not shake things up with some fine spirits and mixers? At Snowgoose, we champion Australian-based distilleries like Archie Rose and Manly Spirits, so you can send your lover something with a local touch. Our gin-centric hampers come with all of the accompaniments you need to make a next-level G&T — we’re talking Fever Tree tonic, zesty limes, juicy lemons and ripe oranges for that perfect kick. There’s also the non-alcoholic option of Lyre’s pink gin and seasonal fruits, because being booze-free doesn’t mean you have to miss out on all the fun.
Feeling fruity
Searching for something a little more wholesome? A decadent hamper filled with fresh, seasonal fruits is sure to hit the spot. Snowgoose hampers use only the best handpicked produce from our trusted suppliers, ensuring that each and every crate boasts the highest quality fruits. Something like a Mixed Fruit and Ferrero Chocolates hamper is loaded with flawless apples, oranges, pears and more, complete with a studding of indulgent Ferrero Rochers. There’s also the Nature’s Finest hamper that showcases orchard-fresh fruit and pampering endota Spa products — ideal for those who love to live green.
