We had the pleasure of featuring Green Freet in our 2009 Valentine’s Gift guide.

Greenfeet is an online retailer that offers eco-friendly and sustainable goods. All of their items have a ‘green’ twist to them.

One of my favorite products is the Lavender Lamb. It is terribly cute and soft. You heat it in the microwave for 1 minute and it is ready to be hugged! It makes an excellent gift for kids and adults at the same time! It is filled with lavender (known for the stress-relief properties) and flax seeds (will keep it warm). You can wash it in cold water once the insert is removed.

Price: the Lavender Lamb sells for only $25.95.

Another product that I like from Greenfeet.com is the Envirope Hammock Family Size.

Some of the features:

• made from recycled soda bottles.
• holds up to 450 pounds
• measures 5 feet by 7 feet
• UV and mildew resistant

Excellent Valentine’s gift for romantic couples who want to relax!

Price: the Envirope Hammock Family Size sells for $139.95 but you can save $14 if you are a GreenStep member!

Flowers

Flowers are a safe gift that fit varying levels of relationships and interests. Just about everyone likes flowers. Another great thing about giving roses or tulips is that you can do it last minute. Check out VirtualFlorist.com where you can easily browse through bouquets and pick a price and style you like. The best part is, if you place your order by 2pm they can deliver it that day.

 You can read some of our reviews and suggestions on the best online florists in a previous post: A Token of Love: Flowers! Online Resources

Gift Card

It may be too late to throw a gift card in the mailbox, but you can still get it delivered to their inbox. Try GiftCertificate.com. Buy gift cards from one of dozens of merchants, or give them a SuperCertificate that they can redeem for the gift card of their choice.

Movies

Give the gift of movies almost instantly through Blockbuster Online. Simply select a gift subscription plan and duration (they start at $11.99), customize an e-card and click send. Then your recipient will be able to redeem the subscription at any time.

Dinner

Even though you can’t be there to take your friend or family member out to dinner for this special occasion, you can still give them a meal out on the town. Hook them up with an e-gift certificate from Restaurant.com. Better yet, sign them up for the Dinner of the Month club. A three month subscription is just $30 and you’ll receive a $10 gift certificate just for being so thoughtful.

E-Card

Sometimes a few well-written words can mean the most. Select an e-card at Hallmark.com, include a personalized note and click send. Your birthday wish will arrive right on time. Other choice for e-cards would be: Zany in the City E-cards.
