Although we believe in celebrating loved ones every day of the year, Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion for showering them with sweet treats, thoughtful offerings and gifts from the heart. This year, we’re shying away from the classic teddy bear and a heart-shaped box of chocolates and opting instead for Southern-made goodies. Here are 14 gifts they’ll love — each available at SB Shop. Take a look! (Note: All orders must be placed by Monday, February 7 for on-time Valentine’s Day delivery.)
