Plant trees in a quantity that is meaningful to your relationship to celebrate the way your love continues to grow. Whether it’s marking a milestone like your 10th Valentine’s Day together or simply to honor how much they mean to you, planting a tree (or 20!) in their name is a powerful way to grow a lasting legacy of your love.

There’s something about a thoughtfully planned 3-course meal that will forever make it a timeless Valentine’s Day idea. Make it eco-friendly this year by challenging yourself to stick to plant-based or locally-sourced ingredients to minimize your environmental impact. 

If they never shy away from a Kodak moment, give them the gift of a professional photoshoot! Showing them that you literally want to capture their love is a sweet gift they’re sure to cherish. Make it even more fun by wrapping a blank, eco-friendly frame and having them open it before revealing the main gift.

If your partner is dying to see a new flick, surprise them with an impromptu movie date! Make it eco-friendly by bringing their favorite snacks to reduce disposable waste. Bonus points if it’s at a romantic old-school cinema a la The Notebook.

Is there anything more romantic than learning a new skill together? Channel your inner Patrick Swayze and sign you and your partner up for a pottery class. Together, you will make a mess, make mistakes and, more importantly, make a reusable mug, dish, or vase that can be used for many years to come. 

When was the last time you visited a museum? If you have an art or natural history museum near you, spend the afternoon exploring with your loved one! Top it off by letting them choose an eco-friendly gift from the gift shop to remember the day. 

Show your love is here for the long-term with a succulent that can live up to 30 years! Gifting a Hoya kerrii, also known as the Hoya Heart, is a thoughtful way to show your love. Hoya Hearts only require water every 2-3 weeks, which makes them the perfect low-maintenance gift.

Order a DIY candle kit ahead of time and suggest a cozy, candlelit evening together. Make sure to choose kit with plant-based wax, cotton wicks, essential oils, and reusable tins or jars to craft your candles. At the end, decorate and swap your candles so you'll think of the other person each time you light it.  

Tired of your partner constantly stealing your favorite hoodies? Solve the problem by gifting them their very own One Tree Planted Hoodie that will keep them warm for the rest of the winter. Buy a matching one if you want to prevent yourself from getting some serious hoodie FOMO. 

If they’re a bookworm and you know of a book or two they’ve been wanting to read, go ahead and get it for them! Better yet, purchase a lightly used one. It’ll be less expensive and kinder for the environment. Personalize your gift with a thoughtful inscription on the inside so they’ll feel the love whenever they crack it open. 

Get creative and plan a fun scavenger hunt! Have your partner unlock eco-friendly gifts as they solve each hint. Hints can be created using cut-up photos, riddles, or even words with missing letters. Plan the hunt around your city, neighborhood, or home.
