Every year in the deep days of winter, a little heart-riddled day rears its head to get people to cozy up and share the love. With billions of dollars spent on Valentine’s Day gifts each year, it’s a great idea to use your cash wisely and make your token of appreciation a gift for the forests too.
Consider ditching the chocolates, flowers and jewelry to show your special someone you care with a little more thoughtfulness. You don’t have to look too far to find the perfect present though; we have all the right FSC-certified products to help you go the extra mile on this day designed for lovers.

Your sweetheart deserves something equally sweet and, when it comes to adding that lovely little extra something, On the Bend’s maple sugar is one of the tastiest sustainable products you can get your hands on.
