Whether or not you’re a fan of the overly commercialized holiday of love, Valentine’s Day, we think everyone would agree that when giving your special someone a loving gift you want it to be something that doesn’t cause potential harm to them. Candy and flowers are the traditional Valentine’s Day gifts, so why not show your loved one that you really care with handmade organic candy and a potted flower plant?
The flowers are pretty easy to find, but what about the candy? Enter Loli Natural and Organic Sweets.
Started by two fresh mothers named Liat, Loli grew out of their maternal need to provide a natural alternative to the very unnatural candy options that are already available and which are beloved by most kids. Kids are going to want candy no matter what, so the candy that they eat might as well be natural, made with organic fruit, sugar and chocolate, and locally handmade.
Their goodies are diverse and appeal to a variety of special dietary needs – including gluten free and sodium reduced candy.
Loli’s offerings includes: handmade organic candy in a variety of shapes, organic lollipops, natural jelly candy with real fruit, natural sugar sticks, truffles with natural ingredients, nuts and dried fruit covered in organic chocolate, and crystal candy that comes in special flavors.
Licking your lips yet? Loli Sweets can be reached by phone or through their website Loli Organic.
