Roses, chocolates, teddy bears, balloons – all sweet tokens, but this Valentine’s Day, why not show your darling (or your friends, coworkers, siblings or parents!) how much you love them with a unique gift geared toward healthy living?
Here are 14 ideas that will sweep them off their feet – or at least bring a big smile to their faces – while supporting a healthy lifestyle.
Valentine Gift Ideas
1. Essential oils
Whether it’s a starter kit or a few bottles hand picked by you, essential oils are a gift of health that keeps on giving. Just a few drops added to a bath, a massage oil or diffuser is all that’s needed for big aromatherapy benefits – from boosting energy to taming stress to supporting a good night’s sleep.
2. Essential oil diffuser
This sleek bamboo-style diffuser uses ultrasonic vibrations – not heat – to make its soothing mist so that none of the healing properties of the oils are compromised. Pair it with some Valentine-themed oils, such as rose, jamsine or lavender, for a lovely gift.
3. Jade beauty roller
Jade rollers are a great addition to any beauty routine. They’re known to assist with lymphatic circulation, reducing puffiness and keeping you looking fresh. The beautiful jade and gold on the CocoRoo roller make it a classy Valentine’s Day gift for anyone looking to enhance their skin care.
4. Bath-and-body gift bag
This 10-piece set from Zum set has everything you need for a rejuvenating bath and treat-yourself body care, including essential oil bath soap and Epsom salts, shea butter body oil and lotions and even a lip balm “Kiss Stick.” The mini-sized containers make this kit perfect for trying something new or for travel.
5. Sugar scrub
An all-natural, minimal-ingredient body scrub that smells like dessert? Yes, please! This scrub features course sugar and oil from coconut, argan and shea butter to deeply exfoliate and moisturize from the feet up.
6. Facial mist
Reviva Labs Rose-Hibiscus Facial Mist can be used on your face, body or hair for a refreshing spritz of hydration throughout the day. Rose water and witch hazel help keep your skin healthy and glowing. Not to mention, the bottle makes a cute addition to any beauty product shelf!
7. Reusable tote set
This three-in-one bag set features two resusable tote bags and an insulated thermal cooler with mesh pockets and an adjustable shoulder strap. It’s perfect for romantic picnics in the park, everyday lunches or shopping trips. Love Bags come in a variety of designs (Elephant in the Room is one of our favorites!).
8. Soy candle
You will be as smitten with this Kalamazoo Candle Company ‘Smitten’ candle aroma as you are with the special person you gift it to. With hints of floral and vanilla, it really sets a romantic or relaxing mood. Each candle is handcrafted and lasts for 60 to 80 hours.
9. Buckwheat bed pillow
This gift is perfect for your significant other – but you’ll actually benefit from it too. Buckwheat hulls not only give this pillow a breathable, plush feel, it’s also hyproallergenic, dust free, fragrance free and pesticide free. It’s lightweight, durable and adjusts to the contours of your body to help prevent snoring, insomnia, backaches, neck pain and more. You might want to grab a few!
10. Dark chocolate bar
Endangered Species delicious, pure dark chocolate is Rainforest Alliance certified, meaning it is sourced only from family-owned properties that help support the environment and community around them. A sweet treat for your valentine and for the rainforest!
11. Chocolate truffles
Organically grown, fair traded, non-GMO and gluten-free, Alter Eco’s Velvet Truffles are sure to win over anyone’s heart. They’re made with deep, smooth Peruvian chocolate and pure coconut oil with a center so creamy, it will “melt your defenses.”
12. Champagne gummy bears
A twist on a classic candy, these gummy bears are made to taste like champagne (though they do not contain any alcohol). Grab your favorite bottle of bubbly and a bag of these treats and create a romantic day that your valentine won’t soon forget.
13. Salt bowl lamp
Light up the night with an elegant Himalayan salt bowl lamp. Himalayan rock salt is said to emit negative ions to clean the air and refresh the body. This unique version – a bowl filled with stones – comes with a 110-volt light fixture, bulb and 6”-diameter hardwood base. It’s the perfect gift for the light of your life!
14. Natural perfume
Perfume is a classic Valentine’s Day gift. But don’t settle for artificial fragrances made with potentially harmful chemical ingredients. Pacifica has a line of all-natural fragrances that are as pretty to look at as they are to smell.
