Yes, yes, of course the traditional colors for Valentine's Day are red, pink, white and the like. But are we traditional women? OK, a little, maybe. But infusing your V-Day gift-giving with some green won't hurt — in fact, it will help Mother Earth feel the love, for sure.
Here are some sites with some great ideas for how to show the eco-love come Thursday:
GreenIsUniversal.com's "eco-fabulous Lust List" includes recipes for Valentine's cocktails made with VeeV, an all-natural, organic, 60-proof clear spirit distilled from acai berries (Oprah's #1 superfood!).
GreenAndMore.com splits its offerings into helpful 'Hers' and 'His' categories ... consider the Solio Universal Charger for an even exchange (he can get hers in pink; she can get his in silver; or both can get basic black).
Martha Stewart's Eco-Valentine's Day Gifts includes some surprising options such as Zulugrass jewelry, which helps protect the environment while it promotes economic opportunity for central Kenyan artisans.
Greenfeet.com's Valentine's Day gift list provides a diverse selection of items, including Aromatherapy Theme candles, which can be selected according to the state of your relationship — from Arousal to Wedded Bliss to Panic Attack.
LighterFootstep.com's "Green Your Valentine" offers information about and links to green gifts from carbon credits to handmade heart-shaped kites.
Treehugger.com's "50 Ways to Please Your Lover" features not only tangible, but also experience-oriented gift ideas ... are you ready to henna your lover's name along with some valentine doodles on his or her favorite part of your body? how about karaoke-ing to your key canoodler?
Yahoo! Shopping's Green Eco-Friendly Gifts provides a full gamut of V-Day shopping opps ... what says 'I love you' like the gift of a stainless steel countertop compost pail?
My honey and I have settled on a massage exchange (from a professional massage therapist, naturally) for our Valentine's Day gift-giving circa 2008 ... ahhh, I think I'm in love.
