8 Valentine’s Day Finds at Trader Joe’s

Items for Valentine's Day from Trader Joe'sWalking into a Trader Joe’s fills me with excitement any day of the year, but especially when there’s seasonal goodies to be discovered! I’m thrilled to share that Valentine’s Day has entered the scene at our local TJ’s, and the holiday-themed items do not disappoint! Whether you celebrate the season of love by indulging your sweet tooth or indulging in self-care, you’ll find something special to sweeten your holiday. Here are 8 festive finds for Valentine’s Day from Trader Joe’s!

1. Gummy X’s & O’s

I love the festive Valentine’s spin on these seasonal gummy candies! The pink, red, and white “x” and “o” shaped gummies are soft, fruity, and just plain cute. These would make a fun kid-approved treat too! The bag includes a generous amount, so sharing shouldn’t be an issue in theory

2. Italian Artisan Heart Shaped Pasta

If sweets are not your thing, you can still find some Valentine’s goodies to enjoy at Trader Joe’s. One such item is the heart shaped pasta featuring fun little pink hearts. These would put a romantic spin on dinner at home if you’re looking to cook for your special someone this Valentine’s Day.  

3. Milk Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Hearts

Chocolate and marshmallows top the list of my favorite sweet treats, so I’m thrilled anytime I find a treat that combines the two. What makes these candies even more special is the pink strawberry-flavored marshmallow inside!

4. Conversation Heart Candies

Ahh the conversation heart… whether you love them or hate them, you have to admit they are a Valentine’s Day essential. The TJ’s version features a colorful mix of candy hearts with messages like “wow,” “yum,” and “fave,” to name a few. The top of the box even includes “to” and “from,” making these great for easy gifting. 

5. Dark Chocolate Caramel Hearts 

Although they come in a small package, these make a big impression! Shiny dark chocolate and decadent caramel pair for a truly indulgent bite. This is the perfect purse-sized treat for when you just NEED chocolate.

6. Sweetheart Bath Fizzer

If your ideal Valentine’s Day includes some relaxation, be sure to treat yourself to the sweetheart bath fizzer. Dissolve one of these heart-shaped fizzers in your bath to enjoy a berry scent and some much-deserved “me” time. 

7. Sugar Cookie Dough with Hearts

No need to pull out the cookie cutters when you can buy these ready-to-bake, heart-laden sugar cookies! You can always sign me up for treats that are easy, delicious, and themed. 

8. Rose Oil Hand Cream

If you haven’t tried it before, you should know that Trader Joe’s hand cream is the BEST. The kind they carry year-round is super rich and moisturizing and smells incredible, and the seasonal Valentine’s version is no different. A treat for dry hands, it moisturizes really well and leaves a fresh, delicate scent. I love this stuff just as much as chocolate, which is really saying something!
