There's more to give on Valentine's Day than flowers and chocolate, especially if the love of your life loves to cook. A gift that speaks to your partner's passion in the kitchen shows you care, it will last a lot longer than a foil-wrapped heart filled with edible delights, and it's guaranteed to fit. Every home chef can use an upgrade or two in the equipment department, and in addition to gorgeous knives, cutting boards, and cookware we've even found a water-resistant Bluetooth speaker that travels from the kitchen counter to the backyard grill so the cook doesn't miss out on the fun. Sticking with the spirit of the holiday, if it comes in red... buy it in red! Sure, you should set the table with flowers and plan on a little chocolate for dessert, but be prepared for a meal cooked with love after your someone special unwraps one of these on Valentine's Day.
