LOVE OUR PLANET.
LOVE OUR PLANET.
February is the month of love, and has drastically grown in consumerism over the years. While we all love a generous act of kindness, many of the traditional Valentine’s “grab & go” throwaway gifts are not eco-friendly.
Below are 5 tips to help make your Valentine’s Day a little more sustainable in 2024:
1: Time Over Gifts
The gift of an experience and quality time trumps any tangible gift every time. Plan a dinner date. Have a game night with single friends. Plan an at home wine-tasting. Recreate your first date. Plan a fun “galentine’s photoshoot.” Get creative!
2: Potted Plants & Local Bouquets
While the grocery store bouquet is an easy go-to, they are often un-ethically sourced. This year, get your bouquet from a local flower farm or give a potted plant! A potted plant can last someone much longer, and they can enjoy it for years to come!
3: Baked Goods
This month is all about the sweets! Try baking your loved one their favorite sweet treat, or get your baked goods from a local bakery!
4: Vintage & Secondhand gifts
Whether it’s a gift for a loved one or a trendy, seasonal item for yourself, you can easily find these items secondhand! Looking for a small, unique item to gift? Think up your loved ones favorite things, their favorite hobbies, and go on the hunt! Nothing says “thoughtful” like the time and effort put into finding a one-of-a-kind gift. From local vintage shops to the thrift store… you can find all the pink, red, and hearts for your seasonal fix!
5: Self-care
Whether you are in a romantic relationship or in your “single era,”Valentine’s Day is a great excuse to practice a little self-care. Have a spa night. You could even gift your loved one or bestie by replenishing their favorite skincare products you know they love!
The month of love can mean many things to many different people. Whether you’re celebrating with a partner, friends, family, or flying solo… let’s show a little more love to our planet this year.
