Valentine’s Day is only two days away and chances are, you haven’t hit on the perfect green gift for your honey yet. No worries! There is time to get it right. Here are a few good ideas; satisfaction guaranteed.
The Mantry Pantry
If your guy is a foodie, this is the perfect gift! Based on the Fruit-of-the-Month model, Mantry sources artisanal foods from all over the US–think BBQ sauce from the Alabama backwoods, stone-ground hot-cake mix from Nebraska, birch syrup from Alaska–and ships it, in a cool hardwood crate, right to the door. $75 per month, mantry.com
Dconstruct Bracelet
Everything about this company is eco-aware, and this pretty cuff bracelet, handmade from recycled resin, is inspired by nature. $35; purestylesalesandmktg.com
The Lovers’ Collection
An all-in-one gorgeous gift box of products that are all infused with essential oils known to possess an aphrodisiac effect: a lavender and chamomile soy candle, anica-montana massage and body oil, honeysuckle and violet herbal spa soak. $72, mscskincare.com
Chocolate Chocolate
*Wei of Chocolate Flower-Essence Infused. We know, V-Day chocolate is old-school, butsome things never get old. Every delicious bite of this organic, vegan, Fair Trade, GMO-free, flower-essence infused chocolate will delight the senses–not a bad thing to do on V-Day or any other day! $30; weiofchocolate.com
*Askinosie Hot & Bothered Sipping Chocolate. Gluten-free, pesticide-free, and made by hand in a factory in Springfield,Missouri, this chocolate is not only a delight to drink, but the supply chain is 100 percent transparent and traceable, from farm to factory. $18, abchome.com
Lotus Moon Gift Set
A beautiful three-piece gift set that satisfies all of her skincare needs! The Lotus Moon Body Set features Pure Clean, a spicy citrus olive oil and argan body wash; Pure Refine, an exfoliating body polish; and Pure Bliss, a sweet-smelling body lotion for silky-smooth skin. Or, choose the Lotus Moon Facial Trio. $48.95, smbessentials.com
Araks Organic Lingerie
Another classic V-Day gift, but there is nothing traditional about these pieces. Made from 100 percent organic cotton, in gorgeous colors like “absinthe” and “sea,” they are weightless, supremely comfortable and simply stunning. araks.com
To a Tea
The Numi Dancing Leaves Flowering Tea Set includes five flowering teas–Starlight Rose, Dragon Lily, Lavender Dream, Sunset Oolong and Golden Jasmine–along with a 16-ounce glass teapot to steep them in. $29.74, shop.numitea.com
Slowcolor Linen Scarf
It may not be warm enough to wear linen quite yet, but the time will come soon enough. (Won’t it?) This Fair Trade beauty is handmade and the soft color comes from natural vegetable dyes. $75; purestylesalesandmktg.com
Party of Two
At the Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa in Rancho Santa Fe, CA, you and your honey can indulge in the Butter Brulee Bath Soak for Two (30 min), Whipped Honey Scrub (30 min) and Honey Moisture Massage (60 min).
