Demonstrating your love for your partner happens year round and St. Valentine's Day can be seen to be a popular culture bandwagon but if you are going to treat your beloved to a little something to let them know you care, make it ethical.
We have selected five of our favourite green gifts for Valentine’s Day.
Divine Chocolate
We love the dark chocolate hearts from Divine, wrapped in bright red foil. You could leave a trail of them through the house for your lover to find you at the end. You can indulge without guilt in the knowledge that all the chocolate created by Divine is fairly trade and made to high ethical standards. Check out other gift ideas here including a Valentine’s box with a selection of mouthwatering flavours.
Give a gift that lasts
A subscription to The Green Parent magazine will provide your beloved with a whole year worth of inspiration and information. Sign up now and you’ll receive free beauty goodies to compliment the annual subscription.
Let your love grow
Why not give someone special a present that blooms right through until autumn and provides delicious home-grown produce for months to come? For the same price as a bouquet, your loved one could receive a ready-made organic garden brimming full of baby plants this Spring from Rocket Gardens.
Hug a tree
Tree2MyDoor are offering a Valentines Day Gift Pack which includes a Crab Apple Tree – the traditional Tree of Love – as well as a Love in a Bag which is almost like an everlasting bunch of flowers! The seed mix includes native Corn Poppy and Corn Cockle wildflower seeds to be scattered over an area of ground. Once the seeds germinate, they will develop into beautiful red and pink wildflowers each summer. Enjoy!
Smelling gorgeous
The Patchouli Gift Box at The Visionary Soap Company comes with a jar of patchouli scented fairtrade shea body butter, patchouli and ylang ylang shea butter bath melts as well as a bar of lush patchouli and ylang ylang soap handwrapped in fair trade paper from Get Paper Industry in Nepal. Buy online and add your own personalised message too!
Have a LOVEly time!
