Yes, Your Love Really Does Want A Zoodle Maker For Valentine's Day

This Valentine's Day, skip the cards and the slow-jams mixtape—for a foodie, that just won't cut it. If your sweetheart is sweet on food, give an edible or kitchen-related gift that'll last a lifetime (like your love). Bae will surely swoon over our picks of forever-useful, devilishly delicious last-minute gifts.

Pure, romantic chocolate goodness will be ready to drizzle over cake, ice-cream, or yogurt in no time.

Kitchen Active Spiral Slicer: Bulky three-blade spiralizers are hard to fit in a tight kitchen drawer, but we're loving the compact design of this one. This nifty gadget will turn vegetables into delicate, twirly noodles, serving up Pinterest-worthy plates. Rock and roll, spiralizer! ($10, amazon.com)

Chauo Chocolatier's Love Child Bonbon Collection: If you're going the traditional chocolate route, wrap a sweet that's anything but basic. "Dried strawberries cuddle in port wine-infused dark chocolate ganache." If you're not drooling, we're impressed. Rich, dreamy, decadent, and boozy—these chocolate dipped strawberries are the sweetest temptation. ($17/6 pieces, chuaochocolatier.com)

Bose SoundLink® around-ear wireless headphones II: Your lover loves cooking pasta while listening to Frank Sinatra. Too busy dancing to "Fly Me To The Moon," bae doesn't notice the headphone cord boiling away in a steaming pot of pasta.

With 15 hours of playtime on a rechargeable battery, Bose wireless headphones ensure you never have to worry about a kitchen mishap again. ($280, bose.com)

Hedley & Bennett Dashi Apron: Cutting-edge fashion, durability, and functionality meet here. The company's website lists this apron as one that's "made for the 'bust your ass' kitchen hustling hooligan who needs an apron that can stand up to anything." Do you need to hear more? Just buy the damn thing already. ($79, hedleyandbennett.com)

Man-Cans Flapjacks: Nothing says "I love you" like breakfast in bed—unless it's pancakes in a candle.

What better way to spread the love than with a gift that gives twice? ($10, man-cans.com)
