Valentine's Day, or the popular Valentine's Day, is unfortunately increasingly associated with a typically commercial event, when kitschy chocolates and heart-shaped pillows are forced upon us, and Valentine's Day cards and wilted "bouquets" of roses reign supreme in supermarkets. More and more people are boycotting this holiday, wrongly, because it is another opportunity to spend time together. Most of us remember fondly and look forward to symbolic cards and gifts every year. Valentine's Day in the spirit of #lesswaste can be both an expression of affection and an opportunity to jointly contribute to environmental protection. Here are some tips for beautifully made and wrapped ecological gifts "from the heart" for your wife, husband, friend...
(non)traditional valentines day card
In times when we send everything by email, we only have photos on our phones, and even books for convenience we read mainly on an e-book reader, we miss searching through the mailbox for a card “from a secret admirer”. That is why sending your loved one an eco-friendly Valentine’s Day card will be a nice touch. Eco-cards are distinguished by the fact that they are made of 100% recycled paper, many of them also contain elements of tree bark, bamboo or raffia binding, which gives them a unique look. When looking for the right card, it is worth paying attention not only to the occasion and appearance, but also to the mission of the company and additional benefits for the planet. For example, you can buy ones from which the proceeds go to planting trees in Madagascar, protecting the Amazon jungle…
Ecological cosmetics
If you think that an eco-friendly gift is less impressive than an exclusive watch or expensive perfume, you are wrong - eco cosmetics are the perfect choice for a Valentine's Day gift. For a girl, it can be, for example, a lovely care set, e.g. a mask and cream or a bath liquid and a scrub. A loved one will certainly be impressed when they receive a set of vegan cosmetics, packed in a practical wooden box, which can later be used as a fruit box or a container for organizing spices in a drawer, instead of the probably immortal plastic organizers. When choosing a company, let's check whether it has a cruelty-free certificate, as well as whether the products are vegan - only such gifts are truly eco-friendly.
Ecological make-up removal
Choosing the right organic cosmetics is not always easy, so if in doubt, don't hesitate and opt for an organic make-up remover. This is a perfect idea for a Valentine's Day gift for your girlfriend or wife ;-). We especially recommend our unique heart-shaped Queen of Hearts set - the set includes 7 lovely, reusable heart-shaped cosmetic pads that will remove your make-up with just water or your favourite make-up remover, as well as a bag for washing the pads in the washing machine. 7 pads, used regularly, will last for about 4 months of make-up removal - what a saving of pads and cosmetics! The pads are packed in a handy, red cosmetic bag that is simply beautiful and can be taken to the club as an element of styling, and worn in the summer instead of a handbag.
A universal eco-friendly gift for a friend or work colleague
In many companies, there is an unwritten custom of giving each other lovely, symbolic gifts. Sometimes, however, it is difficult to find something suitable. Chocolates when a colleague is on a diet are definitely a faux pas. It is better to give something universal. For example, our Less Waste makeup removal set , which contains 5 ecological, reusable makeup removal pads (packed in a practical laundry bag), which save up to 300 disposable pads. In addition, a unique microfiber towel, GLOV Luxury Face Towel, which does not irritate the skin, and with systematic use prevents the formation of blackheads and visibly improves the condition of the skin - which in turn reduces the amount of toners and micellar fluids used , and the products are packed in a practical, cork cosmetic bag. But because the idea of #lesswaste is exceptionally close to us, you will also find ecological thermal bottles or ecological makeup removal gloves in eco-packaging
Eco-Gifts for Valentine's Day for Boyfriend, Husband…
Hands up who always has a problem finding something suitable for a boyfriend or husband, especially if we are interested in an original gift idea, not a repeated pattern every year. For a boyfriend , it can be socks, after all. Since seemingly mismatched socks in cheerful patterns became a hit, everyone has been wearing them - from high school and college students to serious corporate managers who wear them with class with chic shirts. If we want our Valentine's Day gift to be eco-friendly, let's choose those made of bamboo or made entirely or partially from recycled materials, they are just as pleasant to touch and wear as traditional ones. Our GLOV Men body wash and scrub glove will also be a practical choice
- now cuddling will be even nicer. We hope you liked our ideas for eco-gifts . Happy Valentine's Day!
