The best Valentine’s Day gifts are the ones that are a bit out of the (candy) box. Sure, flowers and chocolates are nice, but why not treat your loved one to a curated basket of yummy treats you made yourself (or, better yet, treats you can make together!)
These DIY Valentine’s Day baskets are perfect for couples, families and friends who love to bake and eat together. From a casual family breakfast basket to a cute chocolate fondue date night, these Valentine’s gift basket ideas are great for showing your loved one how much you care!
Kid-Friendly or Friend-Friendly Gift Basket
I donut know what I’d do without you! With this donut and candy-kabob basket, you can treat your BFF, your kids, or your loved one to something sweet and delicious.
Assemble the kabobs yourself using your favorite homemade and store-bought treats, then arrange them in a cute vase for a fun twist on a floral display. You can also fill a basket with treat sticks, a mini donut pan, and a few delicious store-bought treats and snacks and have fun assembling the kabobs together.

Get everyone in on the fun with this cookie lover’s gift basket. Great for kids to do with their parents, this fun decorating idea combines two great things (cookies and sprinkles) for one fun family activity!

Rom-Com Movie Night Gift Basket
These Valentine’s Day treat bags, filled with candy and popcorn, are the perfect accompaniment to your favorite date night movie. Fill your gift basket with a variety of packaged sweets: we suggest popcorn drizzled with Candy Melts candy or candy-coated pretzels.
