Sure, Valentine’s Day can be sugary, pre-packaged, overly hyped. Still, it feels pretty darn good when your sweetie remembers to buy you flowers. So we say embrace the holiday! Not only is it a good reminder to take stock of your love life, but it’s also a great excuse to get busy in the bedroom (which, as luck would have it, is fantastic for your health). To honor cupid (and our readers’ love lives), we’ve put together a little list of our favorite natural and eco-friendly Valentine’s Day gift ideas. Enjoy!

Organic Bouquet’s gorgeous “Shades of Love,” long-stem, organic rose bouquet is Veriflora certified—meaning the flowers were grown with the least-possible environmental impact. Plus, Organic Bouquet participates in a carbon offset program; the amount of carbon emissions from the shipment of the flowers is offset by rolling funds to the Nicaragua Restoration Project.
