Valentine’s gift suggestions
Your loved one deserves the perfect gift on Valentine’s Day, but you shouldn’t have to compromise your principles in the process. Take a look at our top 8 sustainable gift recommendations – think of it as the ethical guide to romance.
Just Trade starburst half necklace
Jewellery is a Valentine’s Day standby and we’ve got the perfect choice with this starburst half necklace. Handmade in Lima, it’s an elegant, understated bronze piece with a gold-plated chain. From World Fair Trade Organisation certified suppliers Just Trade.
Booja Booja fine de champagne chocolate truffles
Chocolates are also a great go to gift but they’ve got to be at least a little bit fancy. Check out Booja Booja and their gorgeous handmade wooden boxes full of vegan friendly chocolate truffles. These champagne infused truffles are extra classy (and extra delicious).
Whisky & honey shaving gift set
Give the gift of a luxurious shaving experience. This gift set from The Highland Soap Co contains whisky and honey scented shaving cream and an old fashioned shaving brush (cruelty free of course). The tweed washbag completes the set and makes it something to treasure.
William Morris Strawberry Thief print lavender wheat bottle
Something to keep your loved one warm at night when you can’t be there. This handmade wheat bag is delicately scented with lavender and printed with the classic William Morris Strawberry Thief pattern, making it a beautiful addition to any bedroom. It’ll also help soothe aches and pains.
Gimber organic alcohol free ginger drink
When it comes to drinkable gifts, alcohol is probably your first thought but that’s not the right choice for everybody. If you’re buying for somebody who’s sober (or just wants to try something a bit different), Gimber is a great choice. This unique ginger-based creation is strong, rich, tangy and 100% alcohol free.
Jane Austen flowers Growbar
A different way of sending flowers. Just pour water on this Growbar and leave it somewhere sunny to let it grow. The flower selection – cornflower, sweet William and mignonette – is inspired by Jane Austen and her novels. Literature and horticulture fans alike will be delighted.
Free the Tipple book
From Virginia Woolf to Rihanna, this Free the Tipple book celebrates a diverse selection of great women throughout history – plus there’s a cocktail recipe inspired by each one. Working though the whole range makes a great couples’ activity, although we don’t advise trying them all at once.
