Made in Miami: Valentine's Day Gift Guide

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Have you gotten something for your special someone? Flowers and chocolate are always sweet, but why be so predictable when you’ve got the option to buy a heart-shaped box of croquetas? If you’re gonna go the chocolate route (and we’d never blame you if you did), check out some of Miami’s chocolate shops where you’ll find one of a kind chocolates and even caramel filled edible perfume bottles.

Here’s some of our favorite Valentine’s Day gifts found around Miami.
