The Ultimate Eco-Friendly Valentine's Day Gift Guide
This Valentine’s Day, instead of giving your special someone plastic-wrapped presents or chemical-laden fragrances — why not celebrate the holiday in a more sustainable way? We’ve put together an eco-friendly Valentine’s Day gift guide, to help you show some love for the earth as well as your partner.
Browse our curated selection to find something as special as it is sustainable…
Plastic-Friendly Picnic
Instead of driving to a fancy restaurant, opt for a romantic date in nature! Bring a basket to your favorite beach or park stocked with pre-prepared portions of your partner’s favorite foods. Be sure to pack them in plastic-free containers like the bottles, insulated jars, and lunch containers from Pura Stainless. Not only are they super convenient, but they make the perfect eco-friendly gift for your loved one after the meal is over!
Responsibly Sourced Sweets
If you’ve been thinking about purchasing one of those heart-shaped boxes filled with mystery confections, we’ve got a better idea! Look for a product that is ethical, eco-friendly, and healthy too. We love Hu’s organic, Fair-trade certified chocolate – free of weird ingredients of any kind. You can buy a bar to gift or melt it down to make romantic chocolate covered strawberries for your loved one!
Flowers that Last
Take a classic Valentine’s Day gift and make it sustainable! Big bouquets are often transported long distances and go bad after just a few days. Instead, we recommend dried flowers or a potted plant that your loved one can care for through the years. A small rose bush, a heart-shaped succulent, or a peace lily are all great options. However, if you’d prefer a fresh bouquet, we recommend finding a florist that provides locally sourced blooms.
Sustainable Scents
Another romantic gift is fragrance! But standard perfumes and colognes are filled with nasty chemicals and are often packaged in plastic. Instead, we recommend choosing a fragrance or gift set from Henry Rose. Their products are cruelty free, certified free of harmful ingredients, and uphold high standards of sustainability
Safe Soap
Bathe your partner in love with a luxurious take on an item they use every day: soap! We recommend the stunningly creative, ethical, and handmade products from Lush’s Valentine’s Day collection. Browse their limited edition items such as chocolate and rose soap and love letter bath bombs — perfect to enjoy separately or together!
Massage Memories
One of the most thoughtful (and eco-friendly) Valentine’s Day gifts is massage! Brush up your skills with an instructional video to offer your partner an act of service they won’t soon forget. Enjoy a relaxing, romantic evening with the massage bar collection from Lush at home, or book a professional couple’s massage for you and your partner!
Ethical Jewelry
If you’re looking to give your partner something they can wear forever, jewelry is your best bet! But standard pieces are often made with unethical materials and can break easily, requiring a swift replacement. That’s why we recommend choosing high-quality, used pieces or purchasing from an ethical, eco-conscious brand such as Catbird or Soko.
Everlasting Cookware
If your partner prefers an apron over a necklace, offer them a different kind of family heirloom! Le Creuset has some of the most high-quality and sustainable cookware on the market. Made of enameled cast iron, these items were made to last, preventing the need for replacement. Not to mention, they have a Valentine’s Day collection filled with heart-shaped pieces in romantic colors.
At Pura Stainless, our mission is to offer you truly safe and sustainable food and drinkware that lasts as long as your love. To ensure you have the perfect, eco-friendly Valentine’s Day gift for that special someone, visit our website to shop our 100% plastic-free products now!
