If you’ve left Valentine’s plans to the last…a few simple ways to give green gifts, cards and wrap it up:

Duck into Whole Foods -  select some sexy essential oils for her next massage (try eucalyptus or tangerine) or pair a nice bottle of organic wine with fresh potted herbs – they’re fragrant and they’ll last longer than roses. Or be a bit decadent — opt for chocolate covered strawberries or whipped cream atop your fave fruit, confection or body part … as long as you devote your undying attention to your beloved, you’ll be in good hands.

… Want to really go all the way? Pick-up a prepared meal, wrap it up in a nice reusable market tote, and dine-in. Skip the hallmark card and go digital, I love Jacquie Lawson’s beautifully animated e-cards that can be personalized in a flash.

Don’t forget, a few heartfelt words or an act of kindness doesn’t have to cost anything. It’s the thought that counts, so just be extra attentive. After all, we can proclaim and show our love everyday, not just this faux holiday. And all we really desire is to be together with you. Have a Happy!
