We otter be together.
Did you know that otters hold hands while they sleep so that they don’t float away from each other? It’s true. If you need a little help to DTR (that is, “define the relationship!”) with your valentine, use this Fairtrade milk chocolate bar (whose wrapper features sea otters!) as a conversation starter.
Otterly unsure which grocery store near you carries this Endangered Species Chocolate bar? Check out their store locator to solve that mystery in a cinch.

You're so cool.
Need a gift idea that you can pull off last-minute? Head to (literally, just about) any freezer case in America and choose a pint of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, aka the best ice cream around. We love the robust texture of the manifold mix-ins, and we’re swooning at the fact that Ben & Jerry’s pays the Living Income Reference Price for all of the cocoa in their 98 flavors.

You’re simply tea-rrific.
Isn’t this just a darling canister of tea? And its contents—Organic India’s signature infusion with sacred and revered Tulsi (Holy Basil)—are even better! A hot cuppa of this caffeine-free goodness can uplift your valentine’s day and refresh their spirit. Now if that’s not love, we’re not sure what is.
