With Valentine's Day quickly approaching, don't rush off to the store and buy just another bouquet of roses and candy.  Well, you could still do that, but why not get a little more thoughtful for your eco-friendly lady or man?  This year, show you care about your significant other AND the environment at the same time...See below for a list of websites we feel can help aid you in your search for that most-amazing eco-friendly Valentine's gift.

Green Gift Guide for Valentine's Day:

**Autonamie Project:  This site contains fair trade fashion and footwear products.  Enjoy browsing through their many pages of sneakers, t-shirts, and accessories.

**Brilliant Earth:  This website has amazing silver pendants and jewelry that you can create yourself.  Best of all, it is conflict free diamonds - meaning that the company is on a mission to serve the socially conscious consumer and support communities harmed by the diamond trade.  They believe that luxury goods should not come at a great human or environmental cost.  This is definitely one website worth looking into if you are looking to buy jewelry for Valentine's Day!  Blow her mind away at the fact that YOU created the jewelry design AND that it is a conflict free diamond!

**Divine Chocolate:  If you decide on just buying roses and chocolates, at least take a look at this site.  They have fair trade chocolates for sale which help benefit the smallholder cocoa producers in West Africa.

**Endangered Species Chocolate:  This site offers organic, natural chocolate Valentines day collections including recycled Valentine's day cards.  Not only do they have eco-friendly gift ideas, but 10% of all net profits are donated to help support species, habitat and humanity.  Their site is also hosted with 100% solar energy.  Pretty cool!

**Patagonia:  Purchase something special for your significant other through Patagonia.  Summer is coming up, but in other parts of the country- it may still be chilly.  Patagonia is perfect for year-round clothing picks...from organic light cotton clothing for those summer days or sportswear/outdoorswear for the rugged outdoor mountain man.

**Pangea Organics:  If you want to opt for something different, try going with organic bodycare products.  Pangea offers a ton of bodycare products that smell good, are organic, and will nurture and nourish your loved ones skin.

**Organic Bouquet: If your significant other cannot live without flowers, then think about purchasing them from Organic Bouquet.  This site offers flowers that are sustainably grown and certified Organic, VeriFlora or FlorVerde.  They have the finest eco-friendly flowers to ship to your loved ones.

**Zheny's Gypsy Tea:  Instead of buying chocolates, try purchasing premium organic fair trade teas and herbs.  Not only is it eco-friendly, but it helps to promote good health by gently cleansing your system. Purchase the new pink superberry tea for a perfect Valentine's day gift.
