Tips for Valentine’s Day gifts that are homemade, eco-friendly, and more
-
Valentine’s Day has many of us shopping for chocolates, flowers, stuffed animals, romantic cards and jewelry. Kids are crafting valentines with markers, paint, glitter and construction paper (not to mention lots of macaroni!). We’re all busy, but instead of getting caught up in the commercialism of the holiday, take a moment to think about ways to show your love that is homemade, sustainable and most of all, from the heart.There’s lots of ways to show some love and be sustainable at the same time. We love how Jen, author of the blog Clean & Scentsible re-purposed plastic craft containers she found while cleaning out the basement and made a clever Teacher Valentine Gift . Buy organic flowers (or skip flowers and plant a tree!), give fair-trade chocolate, prepare a homemade dinner with local produce, make your own cards, write your own poem, support a local business, or purchase products with Eco-friendly packaging.
Our gift to our readers is laundry tips for Valentines-related stain removal! Did your child come home with marker and color stains from crafting your valentine? We’ve got you covered – add a solution of water and Pinalen® all-purpose cleaner to the stain, scrub and rinse. Not only will the stain be gone, but you could pick a soothing lavender, floral or ocean breeze aroma to work with too.
But oh, the chocolate… What are your cleaning tips for removing chocolate stains?
