Who said sustainability can’t be sexy? If you’re looking for a Valentine’s Day gift with a little spice, here’s a few ideas that don’t sacrifice on ethics. Now, I don’t ever really need an excuse to go for a nice dinner, treat myself to a beauty treatment, or try some new, sumptuous chocolate. But, Valentine’s is a perfect opportunity. So whether you’re celebrating with a partner, or alone, I hope you can enjoy a treat or two from my Valentine’s edit…

My boyfriend and I usually celebrate Valentine’s Day quite minimally, usually with a dinner out and maybe some chocolates. This edit actually originates from some items I already own (the tights, the jewellery, the perfumes, and someday, maybe, that beautiful Studio Pia set). It hopefully shines a light on how sustainable fashion, second-hand shoes, and cruelty-free beauty can still be seriously sexy.
If you’re looking to do something sustainable on the day, I recommend booking a restaurant that offers local, seasonal food. It’s always nice to support independent establishments, and their supply chains. But really, it’s all about the food isn’t it? Check out my travel guides for my favourite places to dine in London, Brighton, and further afield.
How are you celebrating Valentine’s this year?
