Eco-friendly Valentine’s Day Ideas

Talking about Eco Friendly Valentine's Day Ideas with WholeLife

It’s that time of year again! Valentine’s Day. No matter how long you’ve been in a relationship for or are single, there’s something for everyone, even if that means going a little too crazy on the chocolate sales the next day (guilty).

We’re all about coming together and spreading some love, whether that be for your significant other, family, friends, or just for yourself! Read below some of our favourite eco-friendly Valentine’s Day ideas that your loved ones and planet will thank you for.

Cook a meal from scratch at home 

Now we know this may be a lot of effort, especially if you aren’t a pro in the kitchen, however this can be a thoughtful gesture to do for a loved one or just for yourself! You could even consider baking heart-shaped goodies instead of buying a store-bought version.

Handmake a card

This year we’re saying NO to the glitter and plastic cards which contribute to our yearly waste. Get creative! Reuse whatever you can find at home. Effort and creativity go a long way!

Enjoy the outdoors

Our beautiful environment provides us with ample entertainment opportunities. Consider going for a bike ride, nice walk or do some stargazing! Experiences can be just as fulfilling and meaningful as gifts.

Use eco-friendly wrapping

We get it, reusing shipping supplies, old linen sheets or wrapping paper is more than likely not red and sparkly, however, like the DIY cards, get creative! Click here to find more of our eco-friendly gift-wrapping ideas.

Set up an eco-friendly picnic

This picnic is the perfect time to grab your Ever Eco Organic Cotton Net Tote Bag, Cheeki Insulated Chiller Bottle, and some of your favourite snacks from home.

Choose eco-conscious brands

If you’re wanting to be more eco-conscious this year, plan a bit ahead. Take the time to research chocolate brands that are ethical and are giving back to our community. Don’t forget to also shop local for flowers or plants!

Even if you aren’t spending Valentine’s Day with a significant other, many of these you can do with family, friends, or yourself! Take this time to also give yourself some extra TLC if you’re spending it alone!
