Valentine's Day is next Sunday — bring on the gifts.
Anyone can buy a box of chocolates, but if you're looking to wow your conservationist cutie it's just about last call to procure that green gift that'll let her know you care about her as much as she cares about the environment. There are already a few great lists of eco-friendly V-Day gifts such as this one from Inhabitat or this one from Green Daily.
There's one thing every list out there fails to take into consideration: the college budget. Trust me, if I could shell out $215 for a handmade silk garter belt I would, but I'll do no such thing this week. I've scoured the web to bring to you, my readers, this slideshow of environmentally (and financially) sustainable gifts.
Links to the products:
Eco-Friendly Pink Willow Dishware Earrings - $34.00
California Baby Bubble Bath - $12.60
Lumia Organic Candles - $6.99 and up
Heart Shaped Shell Necklace - $46.00
Organic Chocolate Vegan Truffles - $9.00
Bonterra Wines - $12.95 and up (Can't ship to Ohio)
Eco-Friendly Crimson Recycled Glass Pendant - $22.95
Handmade Vegan Artisan Soaps - $5.10
Handmade Journals - $23.80 (Medium) or $29.50 (large)
If you refuse to buy into the consumerist nature of Valentine's Day (or if you're really broke), there's always the option of taking sexy photos for your lover or just giving the gift of some good old-fashioned and certifiably organic smooching.

I'd definitely look into some eco-friendly earings if I were 1.) dating a green girl or 2.) had $34 to shell out on something like eco-friendly earings. Good list, and the slideshow is great for something like jewlwery. I'm always up for some good wine, as well.
