Valentine’s Day is charged with anticipation. Did you get the perfect gift? Will you receive the perfect gift recommendations? Did you make the reservation? It’s can be a loaded day—which is why we say it’s time to give ourselves a little break. This is a time to truly be grateful for our health, companionship, and wellbeing. In the light of Ayurveda, we’re reframing this sort-of-holiday to be one of compassion and gratitude, not expectation. And if you’re feeling inclined to purchase something special—for your partner, your friend, or yourself—we’ve rounded up eleven consciously crafted sustainable gifts that will exceed any and all hopes.
