Point of view: Valentine’s Day is coming quickly, and you still haven’t found the perfect gift for your sweetheart. And, of course, you want to find something that is sentimental, not totally cheesy, and aligns with your values of sustainable fashion and lifestyle.
Well, we’ve curated a list of the 8 best Valentine’s Day gifts made to impress anyone, even the pickiest. (You can thank us later). And if Valentine’s Day is not your thing, you’ll still find the perfect gifts, for any occasion.
1. For the minimalist
A minimalist mind values products that are made to last. The Mini Solar Watch is a subtle everyday accessory that goes with everything. It’s also made to last with carefully selected materials that will stand the test of time (did someone say recycled stainless steel and eco-vegan leather?)
Solios watches run on solar-powered batteries. AKA, they last a lifetime; solar energy is renewable and recharges with any light. Hello, future!
2. For the homebody
To all the home lovers: Who needs to go out when you’ve got a comfy couch and a Friends marathon waiting? Staying in just hits differently, especially in a cozy lounge set. MATE the Label makes being comfy a sustainable statement with chic and luxurious loungewear and pyjamas.
We’re talking about super soft (and stylish) pieces made with non-toxic, natural, organic, and ethically made materials.
3. For the interior decorator
When it comes to decor, it’s all about the details. What better way to decorate a space than with a lavish and toxic-free candle? Especially one that fills the room with aromas of vanilla or espresso and amber.
Made with certified cruelty-free, phthalate-free and 100% vegan. SOJA&CO, a Montreal-based brand, creates handmade candles locally with scents that are just that good.
4. For the picky one
What to get the one who has everything? Or the one who has a very peculiar taste? In all cases, the best Valentine’s Day gifts are sentimental and personalized.
Our vote is on the Classic Solar watch by Solios . It literally fits any style and occasion; whether you opt for the straps made with certified recycled stainless steel or the eco-leather band, it’s a timeless piece.
Even more, you can add something special to your gift with an engraving on the back of any Solios watch. It’s the perfect occasion to remind someone you love them with a personalized memento they will cherish forever.
5. For the one who likes to smell good
A couple that wears Eau de parfum together stays together. The gender-neutral Honey Tobacco perfume by Picot is the scent you’ve both been looking for. It smells like a blend of deep vanilla and men’s cologne.
What sets this perfume apart from all the others on the market? Behind the luxurious fragrance is a philosophy of health and wellness. Picot creates products with you in mind and encourages well-being through a sensual, calming fragrance made with only good ingredients.
6. For the natural beauty
Clean skin is an art form and Om skincare is the medium. Your partner’s morning routine just got a lot better with this selection of skin and body care products made with clean and plant-based ingredients.
No synthetic colours, no parabens or sulphates, and no toxic chemicals. Only feel good magic here.
7. For the watch connoisseur
If your Valentine is someone who geeks out over new editions from their favourite watch brand or loves to add an eye-catching accessory with every outfit, the Solar Curve is their new obsession.
Featuring a double curve sapphire crystal, a certified recycled stainless steel case, and an easily interchangeable strap with a butterfly clip, this is a watch made for the watch fervent.
8. For the sporty one
This Valentine’s Day, blow your partner's mind with some of the most comfortable, practical, and sustainable sneakers on the market. The Allbirds Trail Runners SWT is the perfect sneaker for durability, stability, and traction.
Not only do they look great, but they are also made with ZQ- Merino wool, a midsole made with sugarcane-based green EVA, and shoe laces made from recycled plastic bottles. The planet says, thank you!
