What are your plans this Valentine’s day?? Do you and your loved ones exchange gifts or indulge in sweet treats? For those of you who plan to do some giving, I hope you find these kind ideas below helpful 🙂
Chocolate
Yummm check out my chocolate post, lots of mouth watering delicious chocolate companies to choose from. Let me know below what your favorites are, I’m always on the look out for the yummiest!
Flowers
If you can, put together a bouquet from flowers around your place or buy organic flowers from the farmer’s market. Local, organic flowers are the healthiest choice for your body and an important ethical choice to support the health of your bigger home and other humans.

And, when you shop local, you’re supporting local businesses, which I love! You get the idea… try for local, organic, Fair Trade flowers when possible.
If you’re in New York, check out Gardenia Organic. If you’re in LA, Silver Lake Farms is great.
If you’re looking to get them delivered, try one of these sites:

Donation
If you’re not into indulging in sweets this year or don’t want to give anything material, there are so many awesome non-profits out there doing great work. Give the gift of compassion by supporting clean drinking water via Charity Water or sponsoring an animal at Farm Sanctuary. Find more ideas on orgs. I dig, here!
