Sustainable Love: The Ultimate Eco-Friendly Valentine’s Day Gift Guide
Valentine’s Day is a beautiful time to celebrate love, but it often comes at a high environmental cost. Every year, the 36 million heart-shaped boxes of chocolates and 250 million flowers sold add to massive waste, with excessive packaging and carbon-intensive shipping. But you know- it doesn't have to be wasteful! Choosing eco-friendly, gifts ensures your celebration is both meaningful and kind to the planet.
We put together a little guide with sustainable gifts you can find right here as well as what deems a gift eco-friendly.
1. Thoughtfully Crafted Botanical Bath & Body Treats
There’s nothing more romantic than a little self-care! Try our house-made bath salts, botanical-infused salves, and nourishing lip balms made with responsibly sourced, natural ingredients. Unlike mass-produced bath products that contain synthetic chemicals and excessive packaging, our bath and body gifts are designed for a clean, waste-free indulgence. Compostable and free of anything harming that sensitive skin or our planet,
🌿 Top Pick: Sun Bath – A luxurious arnica & prickly pear bath soak packaged in a compostable envelope for a zero-waste spa experience.
2. Paraffin-Free Candles for a Cozy, Eco-Friendly Ambiance
Set the mood sustainably with hand-poured candles, which burn cleaner than traditional paraffin candles. These candles are housed in reusable glass jars, making them a long-lasting and waste-conscious gift.
🕯 Top Pick: Peppermint & Eucalyptus – A unique and refreshing blend of sweet peppermint and herbal eucalyptus creates a memorable and long lasting scent
3. Curated Eco-Friendly Gift Bundles
If you can’t decide on just one item, our pre-made gift bundles take the guesswork out of shopping. Our easy peasy gift boxes are beautifully wrapped, eco-conscious care packages featuring a thoughtful mix of bath products, candles, and more—all wrapped in compostable packaging.
🎁 Top Pick: Self Care Gift Box – The best self care gift box comes packed with our ever-popular homemade favorites!
4. Potted Plants: A Greener Alternative to Cut Flowers
Instead of fleeting bouquets that wilt in days, gift a potted plant that continues to thrive and purify the air. Cut flowers have a high carbon footprint due to transportation, refrigeration, and chemical preservatives, whereas a potted plant offers beauty and benefits for years to come.
🌿 Top Pick: Aloe Vera or Succulent – Low-maintenance, air-purifying, and a lasting symbol of love.
