The 2008 Pinks & Blues Green Heart Valentine’s Gift Guide is an online guide of the coolest, hippest, most romantic and fabulous sites for “green” Valentine’s Day gift giving.

In keeping with our tradition at Pinks & Blues, where we recommend “trendy and ultra-hip family picks” daily, our 2008 Pinks & Blues Green Heart Valentine’s Gift Guide features mostly “indie” sites and products from entrepreneurs who, like us, love what they do, love what they create and can’t wait to get their environmentally-friendly products and gift items into your hands and hearts!

So while you’re busy working, dropping the kids off at school, food shopping, making the beds, coaching a soccer league, cooking dinner, taking the dog for a walk, arranging play dates and trying to squeeze in a shower, let the Pinks & Blues Girls make Valentine’s Day shopping easy, fun – and green – for you and your family, including your much loved pets.

One Valentine’s Day hint… email any or all of these fantastic sites to your husband, lover, friend or family members for ideas for yourself!
