More Green Valentine’s Day Gifts
This will likely be one of the last Valentine’s Day gift posts here - V-day is slamming into us, and you’re almost out of time, if you have to order something. Still, you have a few days.
Valentine’s Day Gift Basket from the Fair Trade online store
- “Large Soapstone Heart Box from Kenya
- Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans
- One dark and two milk bars of Divine Heavenly Chocolate with a Heart
- Embroidered Applique Heart from the Hmong Hilltribe of Thailand
- 100% beeswax cinnamon flavored heart candle in reusable tin”
My only issue with this gift basket is there seems to be a lot of packaging - but it is packaging that wraps organic chocolate - so yum.
I finally found a cute Valentine’s gifts for the kiddos too. I hadn’t seen anything I liked yet. But now…
Recycled Socktopus from Elsewares: How cute. Made from recycled sweaters and each one unique.
Tree Gift Cards from Trees for a Change: The cards are neat. Basically they’re little cards you can give anyone as a quick gift and a tree is planted for that individual.
From the Trees for a Change site; each tree card includes:
- “The planting and care of one tree in a U.S. National Forest
- A card with an explanation of the tree gift and plenty of room for your own message
- The inclusion of your gift recipient on our online Tree Registry”
Every time you give someone a card, you send Trees for a Change one of their postcards, and they’ll plant the tree and add the individuals name to their online tree registry. These cards don’t expire either.
About their trees:

Our trees are planted and cared for by Forest Service tree experts who specialize in reforestation. They choose which National Forests can benefit the most from our program.
Planting only tree species that are native to the surrounding area optimizes growing conditions and ensures that each tree has a healthy beginning. Two of the most common types of trees currently being planted are Douglas Fir and Lodgepole Pine.”

Are these the best or what! From the second I saw them I was smitten. Hard. I bet they’d be sort of easy to make too - if you’re crafty. I’m not the world’s best sewer so mine would likely have eight odd length legs.
