A Special Something for Your Special Someone!!!

Specialty Food Association

Friends Rebecca Montero & Tina Diep, both founders of their own local artisanal food companies, have created a new holiday gift box.  To honor the sweet nature of Valentine’s Day, they reached out to a Brooklyn Chocolatier & a West Coast Confectioner to help create their beautiful bundle.

Their Valentine Hygge Box is all about treating your very special person.  Spreading some love with warm & fantastic flavors is the way to go.

The Valentine’s Hygge Box makes for a great date or celebration of friendship.  It’s good for afternoon indulgence or evening snuggles.  To celebrate this special occasion, we suggest that you pop a bottle of wine & cozy up under a blanket, while snacking on cheeses paired with Nordic Crisps & Savory Orange Marmalade. End the evening on a sweet note -- cuddled up, enjoying the chocolates & caramels.

Now that’s what hygge is all about!

- Savory Orange Marmalade by Spread-mmms, 1 Jar (2.8 oz)

- Multi-Seeds & Oregano Nordic Crisps by Hungry Bird Eats, 1 Box (5 oz)
