Love Solar Style: Make sure romantic moments can always be captured and that you’ll always be able to reach your Valentine. A favorite gift for him or her, Solio portable solar chargers and Voltaic solar bags will enable you to charge your small portable devices such as cell phones and cameras off the grid and on the go so you never have to worry about running out of juice. The solar bags come in a variety of styles including, daypacks, backpacks and messenger bags.
Cozy Up In Eco-Luxury: Every couple will love cuddling with one of the sumptuous organic fleece blankets by Robbie Adrian and, while you’re at it, set the mood with one of their DayNa Decker candles. The natural wax is paraffin-free and the wick is made from sustainable wood and burns cleaner than an ordinary cotton wick. When lit, the candle displays an intriguing “teardrop†shaped flame and emits a soothing crackling sound that’s perfect for that romantic evening.
