Valentine's Day Gift Guide
Whether you’ll be celebrating self-love, new love or old love, there’s always a reason to give a little extra on Valentine’s day so we’re sharing our top three gift ideas from sustainable brands we love!
FLOWERS: FLOOM
Want to go with the traditional Valentine’s day gesture and gift your partner flowers this February 14th? Try out Floom; helping you send stunning flowers from local independent florists. With loads of options to choose from, made by local florists and same day delivery, you can’t go wrong with a classic bouquet from Floom.
CHOCOLATE: TONY’S CHOCOLONELY
Fighting against modern slavery and child labour that’s unfortunately still present in the chocolate supply chain, Tony’s chocolate is not only super yummy but has a message behind it. By creating awareness of issues in the chocolate industry and investing in farmers to create long-term sustainable crops, Tony’s is changing the narrative and our favourite chocolate brand right now. Buy a selection of big bars for your partner (or yourself) or try tiny Tony’s and snack on bite-sized pieces. They have a bunch of amazing flavours and are currently the team’s favourite treat!
HOME: THE ISLAND HOUSE
Thinking of mixing it up this year and buying something a little different for your partner? There’s plenty of home decor brands on Etsy that stock unique products and all from independent small brands. One of our favourites is The Island House; originally from Bali (House Thirteen’s birthplace), they sell homeware made by Balinese artisans. Selling baskets, splattered enamelware and wooden serving sets, take a look for an alternative Valentine’s gift this year - maybe your new splattered jewellery dish.
BATH&BODY: MAGIC ORGANIC APOTHECARY
Looking to pamper your partner, or just yourself? A firm House Thirteen favourite used by Founder Steph for years now, MOA create natural and organic skincare products inspired by old herbal folklore. MOA formulas are cruelty free, do not contain artificial fragrance and newer products are entirely plant based and suitable for vegans. You could choose from skin care or bath products but for the purpose of gifting, we’d recommend the Bath and Body Box set containing; bath potion, green balm and body oil.
JEWELLERY: HOUSE THIRTEEN
Of course, jewellery is the ultimate Valentine’s Day gift so if you’re looking for something this year, we’ve got plenty to choose from. For a delicately simple jewellery gift, go for the Drop Earrings or for a special statement, we'd recommend the Rise Drape Necklace.
