With Valentine's Day around the corner, you may be looking for a special gift to give your loved one. Rather than gifting a large stuffed teddy bear or box of chocolates this year, consider getting your significant other an eco-friendly gift instead. As the market for green gifts continues to grow, there are plenty of creative, green gift options to choose from. Let's take a look at some of the best eco-friendly gift ideas to consider below.

Indoor herb garden

If your loved one likes to cook with fresh herbs, an indoor herb garden may be the perfect Valentine's Day gift. Click & Grow is a popular indoor garden company that offers an array of indoor gardens for people who want to start growing their own fresh food.

You can even choose from over 50 pre-seeded plant pods, including cooking essentials like cilantro, basil, thyme, strawberries and chili peppers.

Sustainable wine

For the wine-o in your life, sustainable wine is an eco-friendly gift you'll want to consider. But what is the difference between sustainable wine and other wines you'll find on the shelf? Sustainable wine refers to the farming and winemaking practices that are used to make wine. Among the top organic wineries in the country, Silver Oak has been dubbed "California's Most Eco-Conscious Winery" by the San Francisco Chronicle. It is also the world's first production winery to achieve Platinum certification from LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environment Design).
