The Eat Boutique team has outdone themselves once again with the creation of yet another gorgeous holiday themed gift box full of handmade edibles. Road mapped boxes of chocolates and red roses may be all well and good but they’ve been done to death. Perhaps this year you’d like to treat the Geoffrey to your Ina, the Ellen to your Portia, or the NPH to your David to a more unique token of your love and adoration? With that goal in mind, how do you think the significant other in your life would feel about indulging in the following glorious goodies?
- The Salty Road Bergamot Hand-Pulled Taffy
- Sqirl Wild Fennel Candied Orange Rinds
- Lemonbird Jams Hibiscus & Lime Syrup
- E.H. Chocolatier Pomegranate Pate de Fruit
- Jonboy Fleur de Sel Caramels
- Rechiutti Burnt Caramel Sauce & Caramelized Hazelnut Chocolate Bar
All of the above sounds like an opportune chance to score some major relationship bonus points to me. But what’s even better than mad props? You have the opportunity to win this unique gift box for free!
To enter the giveaway all you have to do is leave a comment on this post letting me know who you feel is the most romantic fictional (literary or film) couple. Personally I still go gaga over Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe. Gilbert Blythe as portrayed by the 20-something version of Jonathan Crombie though (of course).
In addition, If you share the link to this contest on your own blog, Twitter, Facebook, or Google+ account you may have one additional entry for a total of two possible chances to win. If you choose this option please leave a link to your shout out as your second comment. A winner will be selected via the nifty random number generator on Wednesday, February 8th at 5:00 PM PST and then I’ll promptly arrange to have the giftbox shipped to your home. Please note that this box can only be shipped to U.S. residents. Best of luck!

Buffy + Angel
I will always be a sucker for “When Harry Met Sally.”
So many, but in honor of your blog I choose Julia and Paul Child from “My Life In France.” (And yes, Meryl and Stanley did them justice in “Julie and Julia” too.)
The Germans wore grey. She wore blue. I will always have a soft spot for Rick and Ilsa (and Humphrey and Ingrid, for that matter). Here’s looking at you, Eat Boutique.
Do I look like a loser if I saw Penny and Leonard?
I love me some Big Bang Theory 😀
Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice (although I am also partial to the version that has zombies)!
The Colin Firth storyline in “Love Actually.” I sob through the end of their story every damn time.
Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler from Gone with the Wind.
My favorite couple of all times is Ricky and Lucy!!! I still laugh when I see a rerun of their show!!
oliver and jenny in Love Story
Castle and Beckett. I know I should go with someone more classic, but I’m just loving that show right now.
I SO agree with Molly, who previously commented about Colin Firth’s story in Love Actually. That’s my favorite movie of all time! But for originality, I’ll also add Seth Cohen and Summer Roberts from The O.C. It may seem nerdy, but I miss that show!
Peter & Olivia – Fringe
Jim & Pam from The Office 😉
So so many, including some mentioned like Buffy & Angel, and Harry & Sally… but I’ll go with Sid & Nancy.
There’s something about Rick and Ilse from Casablanca that is just timelessly romantic, isn’t there? Swoon….
Great giveaway! I think the most romantic couple is Francesca Johnson (Meryl Streep) and Robert Kincaid (Clint Eastwood) in The Bridges Of Madison County.
Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gossling in The Notebook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh wow. Will someone please tell my husband that he needs to get this for me??? Speaking of fiction… 🙂 Most romantic fictional couple? I’ll go with Lancelot and Guinevere…but only because someone already said Rick and Ilse.
Charlotte Vale {Bette Davis} and Jeremiah Duvaux Durrance (Paul Henreid) in “Now, Voyager” though their love can never be…. {smile}
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Bella and Edward
Nick & Nora Charles from The Thin Man
edward and vivian from pretty woman.
1. Salvatore and Elena in Cinema Paradiso!
2. Elliot Stabler and Olivia Benson in Law & Order SVU. I know they’re not a couple but they should be!
I too love Anne & Gilbert. He was so constant throughout all those years.
I know that Severus Snape and Lily from the Harry Potter series aren’t technically a couple…and the romance was rather one sided, but the love was strong and saved him from a life of evil.
Jim and Pam from the office will always be one of my faves!
Nickie & Terry (e.g. Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr) in “An Affair to Remember”. Sigh.
I’ve always been captivated by unrequited love so Gatsby and Daisy would have to be my pick.
YES YES GILBERT AND ANNE. You are legitimately the first person who has acknowledged their epic-ness in my experience, and I am THRILLED. Forever favorites.
I know it is cliche, but I love Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. Something about hate turning to love, so romantic.
Elizabeth and Darcy – forever and ever and ever!
I love Rocky and Adrian Balboa from the Original Rocky!
Elizabeth & Darcy are fantastic, but I’ve always had a soft spot Captain Wentworth and Anne Elliot in Jane Austen’s Persuasion. He’s still in love with her even after she refuses his hand the first time 30 years later. *Sigh*

Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy hands down.
Shared on FB.
Su-Li-zhen and Chow Mo-wan from In the Mood for Love.
Dorothea Brooke and Will Ladislaw. Any other Middlemarch fans out there?
What a wonderful box of goodies!
Tough one to narrow down –
1. Elizabeth & Mr. Darcy closely followed by 2. Anne Shirley & Gilbert Blythe!
College roommate introduced me to the TV version of Anne of Green Gables – spent an entire Saturday watching the series straight thru – great memory!!
Tweeted about the giveaway as well!
I’m another Elizabeth Bennet + Mr. Darcy gal! I read that book at least once a year, and watch the BBC mini-series probably as often, and still cry. It’s my favorite of all time!
Sleepless in Seatle and You’ve Got Mail are tied for my all-time favorites!

snape & lily from Harry Potter, even though they didn’t actually end up together.
Margaret Hale and Mr. Thornton from North & South!
Hard question but I’m going with Jim & Pam from The Office, love them!
I would have to say Nick and Nora, from all the great Thin Man series.
They loved each other, with all their hearts, humor, and spent so much time together- enjoying it all.
Elizabeth and Darcy
Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice.
Don’t think I am eligible for this, but I like the contest theme 🙂
Katniss + Peeta. There it is, people, I am on team Peeta. And I love YA books.
My pick is Arwen and Aragon from The Lord of the Rings trilogy. 🙂
Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy.
i agree with lady gouda. i’m in a hunger games mood at e moment and ALWAYS a peeta fan. also mary and colin from the secret garden. i know technically not a couple but they are so lovely together.
maria and captain von trapp. but wait, they were a real couple, right? oh well.
I absolutely LOVE the Pride and Prejudice romance between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy… but I also love the Notebook romance. I know it’s cliche, but its adorable!
No one said Robbie and Cecilia from Atonement? What is more romantic than that???
Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy <3 <3 <3
ok– I’ll vote. Elphaba and Fiyero. the book, the show— yes, please, and thank you.
facebook pimping! http://www.facebook.com/#!/czejohnson
as you can see– my second vote is for Cameron and Mitchell from Modern Family. How can you not love an uptight ginger paired with a guy who sleep-clowns??? AWESOME, I say!!!
Im gonna go all “tween” and say Edward and Bella. Don’t throw anything, please.
Wilma and Fred Flintstone. Classic man getting himself into trouble by opening his big mouth, and super wife and mom to the rescue, not to mention she doesn’t take any crap from Fred, and knows the importance of girl time with Betty 🙂
I have to stay with Love Actually and go with Natalie and the Prime Minister . Best line of “who do you have to shag around here to get a cup of tea and a chocolate biscuit.”
How about Cyrano and Roxanne? 🙂
Hermione & Ron Weasley 🙂
