Alabama Peanut Company

Peanuts? Okay, before you question my sanity, hear me out.

I’ve been with my hubs for a long time. Yeah, we’re the high school sweethearts that still continue to make others sick. Nope, not sorry.

With so many Valentine’s Days behind us, creativity is key when thinking of new gift ideas. So last year, I decided go “nutty” and create an “I’m nuts for you” basket filled with every nut-filled item I could find. Seriously. Snickers, Almond Joy, protein bars, cereal, you name it!

Now, what better nut is there for a nuts-for-you themed Valentine’s Day gift than peanuts from the Alabama Peanut Company?

Buy ’em classic or opt for a fun flavor like Wickles Pickles or Alabama Cajun.

Word to the wise: if you try this gift idea for someone you are newly dating or don’t know too well, make sure they aren’t allergic to peanuts first!

Find the Alabama Peanut Company at 2016 Morris Ave, Birmingham, AL 35203.
