Before you know it, the most pressure-filled of all holidays will be
upon you (thank you, Hallmark). Will you be ready?
Sending flowers again this year? (yawn. Or as I like
to say: it's a start.) At least make them
organically-grown, like these from Organic Bouquet.
Feel compelled to send a card? Support social justice with these uber-cool hemp cards from the Organic Consumer's Association.
What about the kids? The Groovy Mind has this set of Five Finger Puppets
made from wool spun on bicycle wheels! How can you not buy this,
when you can give a toy and inspire guilt at the same time? My
kids are each getting a weird-what-is-it rechargeable Candeloo light
from Progressive Kid, combining form and function with whimsy.
Can't find the perfect gift? Have a look at the large Valentine's collection from Magic Cabin, with vintage Valentines, magic fairy hearts, and bubble wands.
They
say the way to a lover's heart is through the stomach, and few things
say romance better than food. If you're into cooking, why not try
this Vegetarian Valentine's Menu For Two from Wild Oats?
Had enough hearts? I couldn't resist this simple, recycled glass heart from Greenfeet.com
The
second-to-last item of the night must involve chocolate. I think
it's actually a law. While I look that up, have a look at these organic chocolate truffles from Sweet Earth Chocolates, or perhaps a selection from the Sweetheart Assortment from Lake Champlain Chocolates.
