One of the ways Shaun and I show our love to each other is through sweet treats. It might not be the healthiest love language, but it does make me feel loved when he grabs something at the store that he thinks I’ll enjoy. And I knew I loved Shaun the moment I was willing to share my ice cream with him (because I love love LOVE ice cream but do not love to share it with other people).

Recently, I had my first experience with Shari’s Berries. They sent me a dozen gourmet dipped strawberries [c/o] and their adorable Love Bug brownie pops [c/o] for an Instagram sponsorship. But, I was so impressed with both the presentation of the product (also obsessed with how cute these photos came out!) and how delicious everything tasted that I couldn’t help writing a more detailed post.
I’ve got to be honest: I don’t even like strawberries. I do enjoy how they taste, but I don’t like the texture. So, I truly thought Shaun would be the one to end up eating most of these. Boy was I wrong. I probably could’ve eaten the whole dozen (which would have been fine because there’s still a serving of fruit under the chocolate, right?). The strawberries were perfectly fresh, firm, and juicy dipped in delectable, quality chocolate. I was extra in love with the ones that had little chocolate chips on them. And I could’ve cried when these cute, fudgy brownie pops were gone because they were simply just that good… although I almost didn’t want to eat them since they’re so stinking adorable, but it was totally worth it!
Treats from Shari’s Berries are packed with temperature controlled layers and ice packs when necessary, so everything arrives intact, but it’s still important to get them in the fridge as soon as possible upon delivery. The company also does a great job of theming gifts for various occasions. Valentine’s Day options aside, there’s also gifts for weddings (how cute are these strawberries decorated like tuxedos?!), congratulatory sweets (how fun are these colorful chocolate covered OREO cookies), birthday surprises (someone please remember to send me this Birthday in a Basket in October – wink, wink), and a bunch more scrumptious options to pick from.
This is the perfect gift not only because they are so SO delicious, but with perishable items, you get an excellent excuse to tell your significant other they *have* to share with you because you’d hate for them to go bad before they’re gone – it’s wrong to waste chocolate!
I really love gifting. It makes me so happy to see someone excited over something I picked out for them. However, no matter what the occasion, there’s always a handful of people that I just don’t know what to buy them. Or sometimes I find myself wanting to send something thoughtful as a thank you or pick-me-up, so I’ve definitely now added Shari’s Berries to my list of go-to gifting options!
Also, even if you don’t have anyone you need to grab a gift for at the moment, I highly HIGHLY recommend treating yourself to something right now, because once you taste something from Shari’s Berries, you’re going to be asking yourself why it took you so long! Up next on my list to try is this Dipped Cheesecake Trio, these Artisan Sea Salted Caramels, and maybe also this Chocolate Bliss Box!
