Quick update.

We've checked with the powers that be and, yes, Valentine's Day is still happening this year.

Sorry if you've been caught off guard, but we're here to get you back on guard.

Below you will find 10 of the best edible and potable Valentine's Day gifts on this planet or any other. We're talking about engraved tomahawk chops, heart-shaped ravioli, weirdly romantic pastrami and spicy cocoa, all available to be packed up and shipped to you or a special someone just in time for your material displays of love.

Of course, there's no relationship requirement to enjoy anything you see here, so self-gifting is also encouraged. Because, sometimes, the best tomahawk chops and pastrami sandwiches are the ones you don't have to share.

Your Valentine probably isn't expecting this 40-ounce dry-aged black Angus beef tomahawk steak that looks like a prop from The Flintstones. And they're definitely not expecting it to be engraved with a personalized message on the bone. But they are probably expecting you to cook it for them. $172, Pat LaFrieda

If you gift your Valentine a bunch of smoked, tinned fish, you might be the first person to ever give someone a bunch of smoked, tinned fish for Valentine's Day. It's a bold move, but also pretty fail-safe when you're choosing family-fished Arctic salmon, high-quality rainbow trout from Idaho and lemon-laced sardines from Cornwall, England. $30+, Fishwife
