We Heart The Planet: An Eco-Conscious Valentine’s Day Gift Guide

Call us hopeless idealists, but we believe that what the world needs now is love, sweet love. Which is why, for Valentine’s Day 2026, we choose to honor the pragmatic as well as the romantic.

We also like little luxuries. Because what’s the point of working toward building a better world if you can’t appreciate joy and beauty? So, how do you reconcile the material and ecological good?

While “sustainable” or “ethical” commercial products certainly fall along a spectrum that can range from 100% good-faith efforts to lazy attempts at greenwashing, there is no doubt that some products have a stronger connection to the natural world than others.

Here’s a roundup of gifts that show affection for the mothership as well as your loved ones. Because if you can’t love Mother Earth, how are you going to love somebody else?

Based on the GAB2100 with its Smartphone Link and Tough Solar charging, the G-SHOCK and Charles Darwin Foundation collaborative pieces mark the fourth collaboration with the international nonprofit organization, which engages in conservation activities, including surveying the Galápagos Islands’ marine and terrestrial life and ecosystems, promoting island nature conservation efforts, and providing environmental education to local residents.
 

This collaboration features two variations, each of which was inspired by a species native to the Galápagos Islands. The first is the GAB2100DF-1A, which was inspired by the Galápagos Albatross (an enormous seabird). And the second, the GAB2100DF-4A, was inspired by the Sally Lightfoot Crab.

Not only do these editions acknowledge that we share this planet with the animal kingdom, but they also do their small bit to help reduce waste, as both feature casebands and bezels made with bio-based resin produced from renewable organic resources and come in special 100% plastic-free packaging.
 

With a price tag of only $200 per model, the G-SHOCK Charles Darwin Foundation Collaboration Albatross GAB2100DF-1A and Sally Lightfoot Crab GAB2100DF-4A are available now.

This elegant, vintage-inspired 1886 Eclipse Vintage Watch from La Lune is intentionally designed be passed on generation to generation: mother to daughter, sister to sister, friend to friend. Moreover, it can be easily personalized by adding charms to its bracelet (this also means that you can change it up for any occasion).
 

Of course, a watch can only be passed on if the planet has a future. La Lune is dedicated to responsible sourcing, manufacturing, and social practices, and is transparent about its supply chain. The brand also offers repair and refurbishment services to ensure your watch has a long, happy life.
 

Available in either gold- or silver-tone variations, the La Lune 1886 Eclipse Vintage Watch is priced at only $98.

Love can feel soft and indulgent without costing the earth. N°1 DE CHANEL is an environmentally conscious beauty line formulated from up to 97 percent naturally derived ingredients and 76 percent camellia-derived ingredients.

The range includes eye creams, serums, and lotions that help protect skin from environmental stress by boosting elasticity and strengthening the skin’s barrier. Our favorite is the N°1 de Chanel Serum-in-Mist – an antioxidant shield that is housed in recyclable glass packaging.
 

And while Chanel N°1 de Chanel Serum-in-Mist is a little pricey, costing $120 per bottle, a little spritz goes a long way.

Because of its logo, Montblanc is forever linked with the famous Mont Blanc – the highest mountain in the Swiss Alps. And while it also makes fine timepieces and travel gear, the Maison is also synonymous with writing instruments (a.k.a. pens).
 

The design of the StarWalker Blue Planet Doué Fountain Pen is driven by connecting the dots between the earth, the stars, and the cosmos. Its blue colorway represents the Earth’s oceans, from which we take the source of life. The StarWalker emblem technology features a blue translucent dome with a star floating atop it, representing Earth emerging above the lunar horizon.

Pens, of course, are a crucial part of communication and telling stories about the beauty of the Earth, so it seems fitting that this writing instrument is built to be a storyteller for generations. The StarWalker Blue Planet Doué comes with a platinum-coated cap and fittings, a blue precious resin barrel, and a handcrafted rhodium-coated Au585 /14 K gold nib.
 

The StarWalker Blue Planet Doué Fountain Pen is available now from Montblanc for $880.

An activewear brand based in Canada, Tentree was born out of a fundraising initiative by brothers Derrick and Kalen Emsley. Their mission was to plant trees to combat climate change, hunger, and poverty. Thus, they launched Tentree in 2011 to help fund these projects. Today, every item sold results in the birth of a new tree.
 

And while Tentree wears its heart on its sleeve (or chest, in the case of the cozy Juniper Hoodie made from organic cotton), the brand is all about making people feel more conscious without laying on a guilt trip. Making small sustainable changes can also show a commitment to the planet – and humanity. Moreover, Tentree’s products are made in fair, safe working conditions and constructed using only sustainably sourced and recycled materials.
 

The Juniper Hoodie comes in four colors – Meteorite Black Heather, Crimson Heather White, Mineral Heather White, and Forest Pine Heather White – and is available now from Tentree for $88.
