8 green gift ideas for all the earth-loving people in your life. From chocolate, to CBD, to organic wines and homemade goodies, there’s something for everyone you love on this list!
Let’s make this Valentine’s Day a little greener, shall we?
Today I’m sharing ideas for valentine’s gifts that are made by companies who put the environment first, whether that’s through their farming practices, their product packaging, the use of sustainable materials, etc, their products are a great way to show your loved ones you care!
Whether you gift them to your significant other, your mom, your best friend, your coworkers, or yourself, these gifts are such a fun way to spread extra love this week for Valentine’s Day.
And, despite offering standard shipping, I’ve found nearly all of these companies to ship very quickly, so if you order within the next day or two you’re likely to have your gift by Valentine’s Day, or the weekend at the very latest!
Products below contain affiliate links; I only recommend products I use and love!
Luce Farm’s Love Kit
Why I love it: It’s made by a small family farm in Vermont, ships in the cutest box full of pretty pink paper crinkles, and has some of my favorite CBD products inside, like their hemp honey, body balm, and CBD goat milk caramels! Plus, there’s herbal tea for two, so it’s the perfect gift box for getting cozy with the one you love!
Who to gift it to: friends in need of a little extra herbal support (think: those who suffer from anxiety, have specific aches and pains (arthritis, sore muscles, etc), headaches, etc, or anyone going through a particularly stressful time in their life), your significant other, or your mom!

Green Picinic Basket
Why I love it: It holds a lot more than you’d think, and makes a picnic (even in your living room on a cold winter night!!) feel extra special. It comes with bamboo utensils, plates, and a cutting board, and two wine glasses made from recycled glass. Plus the entire basket is handmade from sustainable + non-toxic materials!
Who to gift it to: your special someone, complete with organic wine, chocolates, cheese, and crackers!
Sustainable Wine from Thrive Market
Why I love it: Thrive Market’s line of sustainable wines is curated by a master sommelier (so you know it’s good!!), is at a totally reasonable price point for organic/biodynamic/sustainable wine, and if you’re not already a member, you can save 25% off your first order with this link. Plus, they come in fun variety-packs (we love the red + white 6 pack) and you can even send them directly to your friend’s house in the mail as a gift!
Who to gift it to: all the wine lovers in your life!

Fair Trade + Organic Chocolate
Why I love it: When you buy chocolate that’s fair trade and organic, you’re ensuring that both the people who grew the cacao and the planet were taken care of in the process. I love buying Equal Exchange’s chocolate because I know that my purchase goes directly towards improving the lives of small farmers.
Who to gift it to: all the chocolate lovers in your life. My favorite EE bar is the Panama Dark Chocolate!

Homemade Treats
Why I love them: Instead of purchasing something, you’re taking the time to make a gift by hand, which if often even more meaningful than a physical present. It’s also a fun way to spread a little extra Valentine’s cheer at work, school, etc.
What to make:
- Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Stuffed Dates
- Tahini Chocolate Chunk Cookies
- Fudgy Dark Chocolate Avocado Brownies
- Date Sweetened Whole Wheat Double Chocolate Cookies
- No-Bake Salted Caramel Cheesecake Cups
- Whole Grain Raspberry Crumb Bars
Donate an Acre of Protected Rainforest
Why I love it: This is such a special way to show your earth-loving friends that you care, and even provides a certificate with their name on it, showing how many acres of rainforest they’re protecting!
Who to gift it to: that person in your life who never wants an actual gift, rainforest-loving’ folk, or (my favorite) the super anti-climate changer in your life who would never in a million years donate to a conservation fund. Make a donation in their name and mail the certificate to them- happy valentines, indeed!

Cards that Grow Flowers
Why I love them: these cards not only send a message of love, but live on as flowers long after a typical card would have been discarded. Each card is woven with wildflower seeds and can be simply planted in your garden in the spring!
Who to gift it to: anyone with a yard in need of flowers, teacher friends, friends with kids, etc. These cards make a fun gardening project and with kids and are a great opportunity to start building eco-friendly habits in young children!
Jewelry That Empowers Women
Why I love it: It’s handmade by women and orphans in Uganda working to become economically self-sufficient through the program Because of Hope. All their jewelry is made from local, sustainable materials and is fair trade, plus I love all the colors!
Who to gift it to: friends who love a good cause, anyone in need of a new piece of jewelry!
That’s it! I hope you love these fun Eco-Friendly V-Day gifts as much as I do!
