5 eco-friendly gifts for Valentine’s Day
Valentine's Day is coming! If you're looking for a gift for your partner, a friend, or even for yourself, here are 5 eco-friendly ideas to mark the occasion. Discover our top 5 gifts for an eco-friendly Valentine's Day:
1. Offer flowers... But not just any flowers!
Many flowers sold on Valentine's Day travel thousands of kilometers before they arrive. For example, roses from Kenya... But the biggest problem is not only transportation!
Flowers that have meaning are those whose origin is verified and that last over time. For those who have a garden, opt for flowers to replant or seeds to scatter, accompanied by a nice word, which will transform your space into a paradise for bees.
No garden? Offer a plant in a beautiful basket or a bouquet of dried flowers! Monsieur Marguerite offers a superb selection of dried flowers, harvested in France. We love pampas, perfect in a Dame-Jeanne vase recovered from grandma's!
You can also think about Les Bottes d'Anémones , an eco-responsible florist in Vannes (who sells online) with 100% French and seasonal flowers.
2. Offer an ethical jewel
We are fans of second-hand goods, and we discovered a very cool Normandy brand: Cohbo . Its creator makes jewelry from marine waste, which she collects on Normandy beaches. It's a nice initiative for the environment, and the creations are magnificent!
If you know of other similar brands, please share them in the comments!
3. Offer a green stopover
It's good to get away sometimes! Naturabox offers a selection of eco-friendly places for unique getaways. A gift that gives you the flexibility to choose a destination together while supporting committed accommodation.
4. Organize a photoshoot
You don't need a big occasion to organize a photoshoot! It's an opportunity to capture special moments and have fun. Even if you don't have a budget for a professional photographer, you can ask a friend with a good camera or a quality smartphone to help you immortalize these memories.
The main thing is that this session suits you!
5. Sponsor an animal
If your partner is an animal lover, why not make a gesture by sponsoring an animal together? Supporting an association that cares for injured or endangered animals is a meaningful gift.
Our favorite: Le Refuge Athénas , which works to protect the boreal lynx, an endangered species in France. You can sponsor an animal from the Jura massif directly via their website.
And if you don't celebrate Valentine's Day, just remember to tell yourself that you love yourself. That's the most important thing!
