If you fancy giving your loved one a treat on Valentines Day, check out our top ideas for eco friendly gifts this year from ECOutlet.

1. Instead of buying flowers flown in from halfway across the planet – how about something different this year like a packet of your lovers favourite flower seeds to plant in the garden.  No air miles and they can enjoy them for weeks rather than days.  The perfect accompaniment of course would be a lovely recycled Champagne Bottle Vase so they can enjoy displaying their favourite home-grown flowers throughout the summer.
2. If you’re planning a cosy meal in with a bottle of wine on Valentines night then our Green Wine Glasses and Clear Wine Glasses could be the perfect pressie to whip out at the start of the evening.
3. Boys can be a little difficult to buy for sometimes but chances are they might like the odd beer every now and then served up in one of our Sol Bottle Glasses or Corona Beer Bottle Glasses.
4. Is your loved one a grumpy Valentine without their coffee fix?  The Presso Coffee Maker is super stylish, easy to use, makes great coffee and will put a smile on the face of caffeine addicts all year round.
5. Set the scene on Valentines evening with some ambient eco friendly lighting.  Our candles range includes Soy Tea Lights, Soy Candles in recycled glass containers and some rather butch Man Candles.
6. Bath and bodycare treats always go down well as gifts so if a little “me” time is something your Valentine might enjoy, the Sweet Geranium Luxury Gift Set is an organic pampering treat they’ll love.
7. Has your man let himself go lately and looks more hairy biker than Greek God? Perhaps some grooming products might be in order this Valentines.  The Groom Mate Ear and Nose Hair Trimmer and Men-U Premier Shaving Brush will gently prune the smooth operator back to life.
8. This one is for snuggling up together with during those wintery February nights – hot water bottle covers made from organic merino wool…hmmm toasty!
9. If a bit of bling is in order, make sure its ethical bling.  Our Ethical Jewellery section has lots of pieces to choose but we especially love the classic style of the Silver Stripe Earrings and Silver Stripe Pendant.
10. Finally, what about a gift that will last for years and years to come.  Planting a Wild Cherry Tree for your loved one on Valentines Day means they can enjoy a lifetime of one of the prettiest UK trees.
