1. Instead of giving flowers,
how about something that lasts longer such as a Rose Knitted Brooch or some flower earrings? If you prefer some real greenery in
your day, you could give a plant, or even grow your own tree, whether you have a garden or not.
2. For the decadent foodies
amongst us, try baking instead of buying for your
other half. If you don’t want to
cook and are Brussels-based, you could always try Pure, an organic chocolate shop in
the heart of the city.
3. Send an e-card instead of a paper one – Smithsonian National Zoo
currently has a cute animal-themed selection while Hallmark and Blue Mountain offer a
selection of Valentine’s Day e-cards, some of them for free.
4. It is difficult to be
original on Valentine’s Day, but thankfully the internet is here to provide
some alternative green gift ideas.
How about an eco wind-up hearts radio, a bamboo bath robe or an ‘Ecotools’ cosmetic bag?
5. And for those who are feeling
a little frisky - how about a glass plaything? Hygenic and durable! Or for a more cerebral eco-option,
there is a book out there that wants to make you go green between the sheets and make
your love life more sustainable…
And finally, don’t forget to be safe, plug out… and remember that the most important gift you can
give on this day is love and appreciation!
