1. ecojot Journals, $10.00 - $17.00, ecojot. Many of us still like to write things down using an old-fashioned pen and an old-fashioned journal. No keeping lists on the iPhone! These journals are made from 100% post consumer recycled material and their unique and whimsical designs are sure to please your pen and paper loving Valentine.

Sure, chocolates are the typical v-day gift, but these chocolates are different since they are high-quality, organic and fair-trade (and even more delicious than the regular stuff!).
