Running short on time and money? Here are some sweet Valentine treats that will treat your sweetheart—and your pocket book—right:

Tasty Chocolates
Lake Champlain Chocolates is offering specials on 2 of their Valentine’s gifts. Give your sweetheart 24 bite-size squares of milk and dark chocolate, wrapped in red and hot pink and tied up with a bow—usually $14, but on sale now for $10. Or choose the 9-piece box, with each square wrapped with a message such as “be mine” or “love,” for $6.50 (usually $8.50).

Not Just Plain-Old Vanilla
Does your loved one prefer vanilla to chocolate? Treat them to hand-dipped vanilla shortbread cookies with L, O, V and E artfully stenciled on, $20 for a pretty wooden gift box of 8.

Homemade Treats
If you prefer to make your own gifts, Wilton.com has every kind of cookie cutter, cake decorating tool, colored sugar or cupcake liner you could possibly need. Our favorite this year? A giant heart-shaped cookie pan (it’s 11 1/2 inches by 10 1/2 inches, and works with any recipes that fit in a 13-by-9-inch pan) for $7.50.
