February 6, 2003

Roses are passé; People are choosing Valentine’s Day gifts that are new, unique to show their love.

GourmetFoodMall (www.gourmetfoodmall.com) has unique Valentine’s Day offerings:

·     Peppadew Truffles: rich, creamy chocolate-flavored truffle fillings blended with a puree of sweet, tangy, spicy Peppadew pepper—the first new fruit discovery since the kiwi 26 years ago. Peppadews are a new and unique fruit from South Africa.

·     French Champagne Cognac Chocolates: chocolates with a fine quality French champagne cognac embedded in the middle. No one else in the country creates liquid center chocolates using this European confectionery art form.

·     Deluxe Backpack for Two: a romantic picnic wrapped with a bow. This deluxe backpack includes everything a Valentine needs: an insulated food compartment; a detachable, insulated wine pouch; plates; wine glasses; utensils; corkscrew; cutting board; cheese knife; salt and pepper shakers and napkins. Valentines can even fill the food compartment with the site's extensive gourmet food selection.

·     Trufflecots: jumbo Australian glazed apricots with a bittersweet truffle center covered in dark, imported chocolate. These are addictive apricots.

And, how this year’s Valentine’s shoppers can get these items is new, too.

GourmetFoodMall—the first online mall exclusively for retail gourmet—has the largest gourmet selection from around the nation. Shoppers can purchase gifts for all their Valentines: husband, girlfriend, son, mom, grandpa, teacher, best friend, crush and boss.

Those juggling more than one Valentine can enjoy the site’s mall-wide shopping on a single checkout and personalized gift delivery no matter how many different stores, items or recipients in the individual’s transaction (eight different types of sweets to eight different Valentines on their list). Plus, long-distance romantics can ship anywhere.

Shoppers also can set a budget (e.g., a gift for no more than $20), and the site’s technology will present a variety of options in that price range.

And for those whose shopping techniques need some refining, GourmetFoodMall has hand picked more than 100 of the best gifts to offer this Valentine season. From sinful chocolates to great kitchen gadgets, shoppers will find all they need in the GourmetFoodMall Valentine Day Gift Finder.
