Here are some alternative ethical Valentine's Day ideas for you. But before we start, you should know that these ideas are suitable for everyone: girlfriend, boyfriend, work colleague or roommate. Simply for someone you want to tell they're amazing.

Imagine how it would feel to come home to a perfectly cleaned house on Valentine's Day. So why not hire someone to shine up your house? If it's for your partner, you can spend the evening together and won't have to keep cleaning up after the kids have been put to bed.

The days of creating mixtapes (sometimes illegally) are sadly over, but the modern version shouldn't be missed. Creating a Spotify playlist can be romantic and thoughtful, and it doesn't take that long either. And if you're a Spotify subscriber, it's even free. Plus, you get to give your Spotify playlist its own name, so make sure you get it really cheesy. 

This is a real blast from the past: a homemade gift basket for a movie night. These days, you choose your favourite movie online and fill the box with a delicious dish, which you can enjoy as dinner in front of the TV.

Buying flowers as a Valentine's Day gift is a bit obvious. But who doesn't enjoy a bouquet of flowers? And you don't have to be traditional and just buy red roses. You can also buy him/her a "real" plant so he/she can have more of it. Also, buying flowers is a great way to support your local flower shop.

We have gone crazy about "me-time" and "self-love". But let's not forget the importance of putting someone else first for a change. When you give a loved one a special treat, like a fancy meal or a massage, you can show them that you love/appreciate them very much. And you can be sure that you will get back a much happier husband, boyfriend, roommate or partner, which will, in turn, make you very happy. So gift your time, because it is the most precious present you can give to your loved ones! 

We at CORA happywear wish you lots of fun with your loved ones on the day of love, although to be honest every day should be devoted to love! 

So be courageous and tell your loved ones how valuable they are! 

Your CORA happywear team
