If a heart-shaped box of chocolates seems a bit old-fashioned, try this: Place one or more heart-shaped cookie cutters (surlatable.com) inside a clear, round container (glerup.com) and fill them with treats. 

We stocked the large case with a variety of candies in different-size cutters. The small one at right contains red and white rock candy; the bottom one, pink and white sea salt, for loved ones who favor savory indulgences.
