Independence, MO (PRWeb) January 23, 2007 -- Artiko announced today their new line of exclusive gourmet Valentine gifts. (www.artikoChef.com) Their unique chef-prepared gift baskets, ranging from romantic dinners for two and Swiss chocolates to “Steaks for Him and Her” and a full week of chef-prepared meals, can also be customized and gift wrapped.

Specializing in chef-prepared gourmet meals, appetizers, desserts, steaks and more, Artiko was specifically created for those who find themselves far from loved ones on holidays such as Valentine’s Day. As Valentine’s has evolved to mean more than just a romantic gesture between couples - mothers call their daughters and pre-schoolers bring artwork home for Mom - Artiko’s line of gourmet gift boxes offer the perfect way of saying “Thinking of you” to a recently divorced friend, widowed mother, housebound grandfather or recovering colleague, all of whom could probably use a little love and a cheerful surprise on an otherwise lonely Valentine’s Day.

“Food evokes warmth, intimacy and fond memories which is why our care packages are so popular”, says Ariane Kemper, Artiko founder. “We have countless stories about our customers that bring tears to your eyes and yet are really inspiring. Like the mother who surprised her son in graduate school with a week’s worth of delicious meals since she could not cook for him. Or the daughter who was thrilled and relieved that she could offer her Mom, who cares full-time for her Dad, a few weeks off from cooking. Food is such a big part of our social lives and daily experience; think of all the times you shared or tasted new foods, cooked a special dinner for your family or simply enjoyed a meal with friends. Valentine’s is the perfect holiday to celebrate those memories.”

So, instead of another tie, massage or impersonal gift certificate, why not offer a gourmet treat that combines the practical with the thoughtful, the delicious and the unexpected?

All of Artiko’s 300 gourmet products (appetizers, meals, desserts, chocolates, steaks & more) can be effortlessly and quickly prepared to save time and stress. Artiko uses only the highest quality ingredients assembled by professional chefs creating wholesome, nutritious and flavorful products. Their new website is user-friendly complete with mouth-watering pictures and tantalizing product descriptions. They ship orders the day they come in so orders are delivered faster and if you are not 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed they offer an exchange or refund. And last but not least, their new innovative Festive Gift Box™ is a beautiful gift-wrapping option for all of their products that are shipped frozen.
