Diet Valentine Gifts
Low Calorie, Low Carb, Sugar Free...Even Everything Free
Page 1: No-Calorie Gifts
CAPSULE REPORT: Valentine’s Day gifts don’t have to be high-calorie. While diamonds are calorie-free, you can find something just as sparkly with more affordable Bling water—and our other gift recommendations. This is Page 1 of a four-page article.

Ayala’s:
Herbal Water

The sophisticated flavors are so refreshing: Cinnamon Orange Peel, Clove Cardamom Cinnamon, Ginger Lemon Peel, Lavender Mint, Lemongrass Mint Vanilla and Lemon Verbena Geranium. Certified kosher by OU. Read our full review of Edible Arrangements, a NIBBLE Top Pick Of The Week.

Bling H2O:
Designer Spring Water
Can’t have sugar, carbs, fat, gluten...or even a single calorie? You can still have all the bling you can afford. Bling H2O was developed by a Hollywood producer for the Rodeo Drive set. The frosted 750 ml wine bottle is studded with Swarovski crystals. It’s $40 a bottle, and instead of the silver cap and silver crystals shown, you can order yours in Valentine red (or in pink, blue or green). The $40 bottles can be refilled with good old $1.69 spring water, so the lucky recipient can enjoy her Bling after the initial water is gone. Read our full review.

Himala Salt:
Pretty In Pink
This will be a big hit with your Valentine: Once he or she tastes it, there’s no going back to supermarket salt. Ethically sourced from mines in the foothills of the Himalayas, this salt comes with many claims, including anti-aging, mental clarity, better moods, purification and detoxification. No aphrodisiac qualities are implied, but you can induce those. It’s also certified kosher. There are quite a few product options on the website, HimalaSalt.com |

Teas’ Tea Rose Green Tea:
Roses To Drink: Part II
Everything will be rosy once your Valentine tastes this rose petal infused green tea. The Teas’ Tea brand from Japan’s Ito En is, in our opinion, the finest tea put in a bottle. Send your Valentine a case...and, while you’re at it, a bouquet of roses, too, for a double-non-caloric Valentine gift. Read our full review of Ito En Teas, a NIBBLE Top Pick Of The Week. |
