I was reading Dad or Alive’s 14 Things NOT to Get Your Wife for Valentine’s Day shared by Amy at Carriage Before Marriage as a public service for men everywhere. #6 on her list was drug store chocolates with the reasoning,
A big box of crap movie theater candy does not make a girl feel special—it just gives her calorie anxiety. If you know she loves chocolate, step up your game and go gourmet, like truffles, preferably tequila infused, bacon stuffed or diamond encrusted.
Mmm…Diamond encrusted!
While See’s Candies may not be diamond encrusted, my husband knows that they’re my favorite and to not just buy any old box of See’s. It’s a testament to his love for me that he will always bring a box of Soft Centers when flying home through any California airport and if he has time during his trip, will stop at a See’s retail location to hand pick a box of my favorites.
And I’ll admit it, I’m a big sucker for a heart shaped box of See’s Candies when it comes to Valentine’s Day. This year I’m thrilled that See’s has heart shaped boxes full of their fabulous assorted chocolates but also traditional 1 pound hearts featuring just nuts and chews, dark chocolates, or milk chocolates ($22.40 each).
Not a fan of red heart shaped boxes of chocolates? A Pink Satin Heart (1 lb, 6 oz, $38.50) featuring milk and dark chocolates along with See’s most popular truffles, soft centers, nuts and chews, and delicious favorites like Lemon Truffle, Dark Patties, Mocha and Milk Chips.
For the guy in your life who loves chocolate, I suggest the Tuxedo Heart. The one pound box includes Lemon Truffle, Dark Walnut Square, Divinity Puff, Mocha, Dark Chocolate Butter, Milk Bordeaux™ and more in a box featuring a formal satin bowtie, felt lapels and red satin vest.
For your little loves, See’s offers darling choices that’s just enough chocolate for a sweet treat without a sugar rush as long as it’s not consumed in a single sitting. My favorite for our two kids are the Teddy Bear Box ($6.85). We also really like the Milk Chocolate Foil Hearts that are wrapped in bright red foil ($6.40) and Dark Chocolate Foil Hearts (pink shiny foil, $6.40).
In order to ensure that your See’s Candies arrive in time for Valentine’s Day place your order before Wednesday, February 6.

I received See’s Candies in exchange for this post but it’s only a small drop in the bucket compared to all the See’s I’ve personally purchased through my years of existence. See’s obsession is purely my own and was well developed prior to being contacted by See’s . Images courtesy of See’s Candies.

I like the Signature Gift Pack
I would love to get blueberry truffles
I like Traditional Red Heart with Dark Chocolates
the strawberry truffles!
Nothing. Unacceptable because you can easily buy flowers from the guy on the side of the road hahaha.
Dark chocolate covered ginger!
I’d love the tuxedo! The flavors in it are right up my alley!
And dead flowers or nothing. Dad or Alive nailed it. Those are the things that would make me… twitchy
I love the Nuts & Chews!
I’d love to gift the Nuts & Chews to my grandma ~ she loves them!
I’d have to go with Dead Flowers. I don’t think anyone would appreciate that. Is there any dead flower that is nice?
We do love the Cinnamon Lollypops. But a box of truffles for the love of my life works too!
I’d like to get my husband the Dark Peppermints and the Almond Royals. Yum!
Traditional Red Heart with Milk Chocolates
Dustbuster is not very romantic.
I would like to get my husband the English Toffee. It is his absolute favorite.
i would give the Pink Satin Heart
the worst gift has to be a gift card because it should be personal and show some thought.
I would love to give him the sweet indulgence heart! Thanks for the chance
LOL to the gym membership….I think the worst gift would be socks or underwear!
I love their California Brittle®
I think the worst gift on his list is “nothing”. Nothing says I don’t care about you and so I didn’t get you anything, not even a card.
I’d like to give one of the heart shaped boxes to my mom. Since we were kids, my dad has always given me and my brother the teddy bear boxes on Valentine’s Day
I think the dustbuster is the worst gift on the list.
The Bourdeaux chocolates from Sees are my mother’s, sister’s and my absolute faves!
I’ll be hoping for the Nuts and Chews box!
Thanks!

I disagree with Dad or Alive’s list on a few points! I love to get perfume (but he is right about getting the RIGHT scent). But I would also love to get a Dustbuster or crockpot! Silly me!
However, I totally agree about the stuffed animal. I’m not fifteen, and I don’t need something else to clutter my home and collect dust.
Happy Valentine’s Day!!

anything with caramel!
I would love the Strawberry Truffles
I visited Dad or Alive’s 14 Things NOT to Get Your Wife for Valentine’s Day and posted what not to give.
I would love to get the Traditional Red Heart with Dark Chocolates
Dead Flowers would be the worst.
California Brittle or Pecan Fudge. YUM
Caramels, caramels, caramels. Yum!
I’d love the chocolate covered almonds.
I’d give the Pink Satin Heart and like to get the Tuxedo Heart.
I would get the dark chocolate foil hearts with a couple of peppermints in memory of my mom.
The dustbuster would be the absolute worst gift; I hate cleaning!
Would love to get the Valentine Duo!
Pink satin heart
A coupon for your body……ewwwww
The worst item is a self-help book.
I’d LOVE the Toffee-ettes! Yum!

And I think the worst gift for your wife is a Gym Membership! That’s crazy! Even if she wants one, all that’s going to do is make her think you want her to change. No way guys!

Classic red heart with milk chocolates!
I agree a dustbuster is a horrible valentines gift!
Dark chocolate … YUM
I would love to receive the Sweet Indulgence Heart filled with delicious chocolate for Valentine’s Day from the hubby. Hope he reads this

I would never ever dream of ever getting my husband a Mankini. I don’t care what shape your man is in, those are NEVER a good idea, except maybe for a good laugh
I’d love a box of peanut butter patties
Oh definitely a coupon for his my husband’s body – that one is the worst. Very unnecessary…I mean he’s a man. No coupon needed
