Sweetheart gift guide
Heart-shaped sweets for your sweetie
Whether you're looking to bake cakes or cookies -- something fast or fancy -- here's a list of recipes you and yours can seek your teeth into:
Give organic art...they can eat
Is giving a box of chocolates a bit trite? Don’t panic! Give organic! Giving a box of fair-trade artisan organic truffles from Organic Style is a perfect way to change a cliché.
Go green
Red, pink, yellow, white, orange... what do they all mean? Support the environment and go green. Give organic chartreuse roses to show you care about her (or him) and the earth too. Still prefer red? Make sure buy from a certified green grower.

Purchase diamonds responsibly. Learn about conflict-free diamonds.
Get wild
Let your love help save an animal from extinction by adopting one from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). You’ll get a plush version of the animal and a WWF Valentine’s bag. Choose from many species:
Eco-undies
Their skin will breathe easier and so will you, since you'll have a clear conscience giving these sustainable skivvies.

Relax...with a spa gift certificate
Everybody could use a day at the spa! Give a gift certificate for one or make it a couple’s outing. Either way, find a spa now and make your reservation.
Join the (organic wine) club
A membership to a wine club keeps on giving throughout the whole year and wine lovers will enjoy trying new organic vintages. Try one of these responsible companies:
» Parducci, the 1st U.S. carbon neutral winery
» The Organic Wine Company
Make stuff with your photos
Nothing says effort like personalization. Show them you went all out by simply transforming your photos into timepieces of love -- like photo calling cards, calendars, bookstore-quality books, and even stickers!
