SIGAL "Green Tip" of the Day--An Eco Friendly Valentine's Day

SIGAL "Green Tip" of the Day--An Eco Friendly Valentine's Day

Who needs pink and red when you can have green? This Valentine's Day, don't forget to show a little love for the environment.

Each year, Americans spend billions on blossoms for their loved ones without realizing the environmental consequences. Countries like Ecuador and Colombia, which supply us with the bulk of our cut flowers, rely heavily on pesticides to ensure these blooms enter the States bug-free.

This Valentine's Day, show your main squeeze--and the planet--just how much you care by purchasing an organic assortment instead. Find sunset roses, stargazer lilies, and even organic chocolates which can be ordered online from Organic Bouquets, or dazzle your beloved with something other than flowers. Here are some distinctive gift ideas:

Jewelry

Zulugrass Jewelry Diamonds may be forever, but these beads give back. Made in Kenya using natural resources (fallen wood and grass) and paired with Czech glass, these beauties come in more than 200 color choices and provide economic opportunity for Maasai women in Kenya. Prices vary.

Bath & Beauty

Through EcoExpress' online site, you can send the Organic Wine and Spa Collection.

Chocolate

Want to send chocolate instead? Check out Green & Black's or NewTree.

Sports Fan

Hit one out of the park with cuff links salvaged from America's most famous stadium seats. Available through RedEnvelope, these Ballpark Cuff Links are coated in the original paint of the arena, representing decades of home openers, double-headers, and grand slams. Prices start at $179.95 for these truly unique and memorable accessories.

Gender Neutral

UncommonGoods has a beautiful, gender-neutral Recycled Wooden Frame that gets its stripes from recycled wooden boats and homes in Thailand, making it a conversation piece even without a picture. It retails for $48.
