Valentine’s Day: Sustainable Gift Ideas
Valentine’s Day gifts are a crucial, often-overlooked element to a more fulfilling relationship. However, to be creative, romantic and sustainable simultaneously is not that difficult. Here are some suggestions:
The Non-Material Gift
Giving a gift of service requires the use of little or no natural resources. Acts of service are meaningful to men and women alike:
-Services: Spa, massage.
-Tickets: To a concert, the theatre or special event.
-iTunes gift cards.
The Homemade Gift
Things that are hand-made specially for the recipient have a special significance, because they carry a message of thoughtfulness and care, which is what gift-giving is really all about:
-Edibles: Prepare a candlelit dinner with oysters, chocolate and other aphrodisiacs.
-Services: Cook and bring a delicious breakfast in bed.
-Arts and Crafts: Use your time and skills to make something unique.
Other Considerations
Here are a few final green ideas to consider:
-Look for items that have recycled content and minimal packaging.
-Choose items that are produced locally. By purchasing locally you reduce the amount of greenhouse gases and support your local economy.
-If you want to avoid giving something that won’t ever be used, consider a gift card.
Bottomline
Taking into account all previous considerations we can conclude that one of the most sustainable gift ideas is to buy original art. To learn why buying art is not just sustainable but also great gift idea check for example Great Gift Ideas: Buying Original Art.
