It’s hard to resist the chic, colorful, Cali-cool packaging of gourmet Compartes Chocolates (handcrafted in Los Angeles), made in collaboration with local designer Kelly Wearstler. The timely Valentine’s collection includes titles like Flourish (dark chocolate hand-splattered with 24-karat gold) and Love (dark chocolate infused with balsamic sea salt). We think it’s almost too pretty to eat. $12.95 (each)

Using a mix of rye and bourbon, this spicy-fruity blend, made by its founder (and whiskey-maker) Trey Zoeller and Louisville chef Edward Lee, was made for spicier foods like Korean fried chicken or pad Thai. $39.99
