Today’s the day for love, and while pinks and reds tend to rule Valentine’s Day, we’re ushering in the green with these last-minute gifts. If you’re a procrastinator, or just not big on the big gestures, here are some small but very green ideas for your special sweetie. From organic chocolate to better flower options and socially-responsible greeting cards, we’ve got you covered. Also check out our Sustainable Skivvies [5] and Splurges [6] posts from earlier this week. Happy Valentine’s Day from Inhabitat!!
HALLMARK PRODUCT RED CARDS AND GIFTS- $2.50 and up [7]
The latest from the Project Red [7] campaign is this great line of recycled cards and gifts from Hallmark [7]. Available at most Hallmark stores, there’s a great variety of red (duh) greeting cards and other romantic gifts, all of which benefit people living with AIDS in Africa.

REINDEER GREETINGS E-CARDS FROM URBAN REVISION- $0.99 each [8]
Our friends at Urban Revision [9] have a great new e-card company, the proceeds of which benefit Architecture for Humanity [10]. They’ve teamed up with local designers and artists to bring you some eye-catching and downright gorgeous e-cards, which are way cooler than the usual cartoony e-cards we’re used to seeing.

DAGOBA CHOCOLATE- $3/bar [11]
Valentine’s Day could easily be called Reason-To-Eat-Chocolate Day, and we love organic options like Dagoba [11], which is readily available at retailers like Whole Foods.

TERRA NOSTRA CHOCOLATE- $4/bar [12]
Our other favorite chocolate choice is Terra Nostra [12], USDA Certified Organic, and a great combination of a century of family technique with modern technology to produce intense burst of flavor. Use their store finder [13] to locate retailers near you.

SEEDLINGS AND SAPLINGS AND SUCCULENTS, OH MY! [14]
Instead of the usual cut flowers this year, swing by your local nursery and pick up a real live plant for your honey. What better than some plantable flora represent your “growing” love?!
