Looking for gifting ideas for Valentine’s Day, the Chinese New Year, or just because? Our top picks from our favorite produce company, Melissa’s for the season include the Lunar New Year gourmet set, the Giving Hope Basket, and Melissa’s Edible Flowers.
Consider the Giving Hope Basket on Valentine’s Day for the person in your life always thinking of others. This one gives back to a wonderful cause. One Hope Wines will donate ½ of their profits to aid in pet adoption. The basket includes exotic and tropical fruit with a bottle of 2013 Sauvignon Blanc. $79.49.
The Lunar New Year Culinary Sampler is ideal for the home cook who wants essentials for preparing a traditional Chinese New Year communal feast. It includes bamboo steamer and an autographed copy of acclaimed Asian chef Ming Tsai's "Ming's Master Recipes.” It also includes an assortment of tangerines, lemon grass, ground ginger, sweet onions, dried Japonese chiles, dried woodear mushrooms, garlic, and fresh ginger root. $73.49.

You can add beauty and color to any dish with Melissa’s Edible Flowers freshly delivered to you. Edible flowers may include: carnations, hollyhocks, daisies, marigolds, nasturtiums, chrysanthemums, chicory, day lilies, lavender, violets and pansies. The edible flowers are mostly incorporated for their color, design and aesthetic value. Keep them refrigerated in a closed plastic bag, and simply splash with ice cold water prior to serving. $21.99

Raw Juices, Smoothies, Fusions and Bowls!
02.03.16
Juice It Up!, is a leading raw juice bar and hand-crafted smoothie shop where you can enjoy delicious and functional fresh-squeezed juices, blended-to-order real fruit smoothies and nutrient-rich options such as açaí and pitaya Bowls.
We love to create our own drink from a choice of 13 raw ingredients, or order a fusion, which are whole fruits and vegetables blended together to retain all of the fiber and nutrition. They were designed to satisfy hunger, sustain energy and support digestive health.
The newest raw juice blends to try are the Invigorator, a super-charged orange juice blend (orange, spinach, kale, pineapple), with potassium, magnesium, as well as vitamins A, B6, C & K. And if you love beets, carrots, celery, cucumbers, pineapples and red grapes, order the Optimizer, a great pre or post workout juice full of natural electrolytes and nutrients designed to boost performance and aid in recovery after workouts.
We are giving away a pair of $10 gift cards so that you can experience Juice it Up for yourself! Simply follow us on Instagram@dailydoseoc and leave a comment.
