Green Deals for Valentine’s Day

Whether for yourself or a Valentine, you can find lots of delicious eco-friendly eats and pretty red gifts to love. Here are my favorite Valentine’s Day shopping deals to make Feb. 14 sweet:

>> Organic, fair trade, vegan chocolates [1]. Didn’t think you could get all three in one yummy package? Thanks to Kate’s Caring Gifts, you can get 20 chocolate truffles — in raspberry, almond, hazelnut, and cherry flavors — in a gorgeous heart-shaped box that’s handmade in Thailand by a fair trade [1] women’s co-operative using eco-friendly fibers. Cost: $29.95.

>> Fair trade flowers [2]. Take the fair trade Valentine’s Day pledge [3] at TransFair USA, and you can get 15% off fair trade bouquets at 1-800-Flowers [4]. Cost: $39 - $59 per bouquet.

>> Red recycled glass hearts [5]. At Heart Is Hot, you can get a 100% recycled glass heart that keeps on giving. Each decorative heart has its own unique web address — that lets both the buyer and recipient write their heartfelt stories of giving. The hearts are meant to be regifted after a time — so new recipients can add on their own stories and ex-owners can track the heart’s journey. Read some of those stories online [6] — or get your own heart [7] for $24.99. If you make your purchase this month, $2 of your money will go to Unstoppable Giving Foundation [8], which is raising money to help build schools in Africa for underprivileged children.
