Whether you’re single or taken, Valentine’s Day is the perfect day to spread a little extra love. And the best way to do that? Send your significant other, friends or family a sweet Valentine’s Day treat that shows how much you really care.

Whether it’s cookies, mini cupcakes or the classic box of chocolates, you can’t go wrong with gifting someone a sweet snack. Keep in mind that if you’re sending these treats rather than gifting them in person, you’ll want to do a bit of planning ahead.
