Valentines Day is right around the corner and if you haven’t picked up anything yet, you better get a move on. I did some searching around for for healthy, organic and eco-friendly items that your girl will love and I find just about all of it on Amazon (affiliate links) so you can find everything you need in one place. If you have more gift ideas, please add them to the comments.
Juice Beauty Organics to Go
Women love things that make them look and feel younger and products that make their skin softer and healthier. This organic skincare set from Juice Beauty has six different products designed to do just that.
Perfume
Just like women like to look good, they like to smell good too. If your girl likes perfume, check out some of the “Green” products from Florascent, such as their Jasmine Perfume. At $98.95, it’s a bit expensive, but I’m sure she’ll love it. They also have several other smells if you don’t like Jasmine.
Relaxing Baths
After a long day at work, there’s nothing more relaxing than sliding into a nice hot bath. Deep Steep makes Bath Tea in several scents such as Rosemary Mint, Honeydew Spearmint and Grapefruit Bergamot. Make it even more special by preparing the bath for her and pouring her a glass of wine.
Flowers
Roses are the the first thing to come to mind when buying gifts for Valentines Day and Amazon has an assortment of eco-friendly roses that with each purchase, a 5% donation is giving to the the Global Giving project, the Animal Legal Defense Fund, or the Ploughshares Fund. They also carry some Blue Iris if you’re not into roses where donations go to Keep America Beautiful.
Spa Treatment
Give your girl a special day of relaxing massages and facials by buying her a gift certificate at a local spa. SpaFinder lists several types of spas in any location and you can book directly from the site so this would be a great one if you’re running short on time.
Stuffed Animals
My girlfriend loves stuffed animals and there are quite a few cute and eco-friendly plushes here. And if you can find one big enough, she’ll love to cuddle with it or use it as a pillow. Sadly, it seems like no matter what my dogs always find a way to get ahold of them.
Chocolates
If you’re trying to live a healthier lifestyle you definitely shouldn’t be eating candy, but sugar-free chocolates would make a great gift. Check out the Love Bug sugar-free Valentines Day gift basket or this one; the Sugar Free Heart Valentines Gift Basket With Bear. Be careful you don’t have the type of girl that could take this the wrong way though!
Wine
One glass a day of red wine is a rich source of antioxidants and has been known to have plenty of healthy benefits such as boosting immunity, helping to prevent bone loss and is good for the heart. Wine is also very romantic, especially if you cook her a nice dinner to go with it. My favorite place to look for good deals on wine is Wine.Woot. They update the site frequently (every few days or so) so check often to find the wines you really want.
All the beauty products would be a really good gift. If you get me stuffed animals, I’ll be sure to keep it from the dog’s reach. Wine and chocolate sounds good too. The spa treatment would be excellent. I don’t like getting flowers though cuz I feel bad when they die…or when the dogs eat ’em… 🙁
Another good gift that would be an eco-friendly candle. They’re made out of beeswax and come in various scents
