Uh-oh, forgot today was Valentine's Day? Here are some last minute gift ideas you don't have to leave the office for

Weren't we just celebrating New Year's?  Well, if you feel that way, you can still leave your loved one unsuspecting with some of these quick gift ideas.

1) Valentine's Day E-Cards from Hallmark cards, JibJab, American Greetings and others.

2) Compose a poem, suggests The Huffington Post.  Impress your loved one not only with words, but your thoughtfulness for the environment.  Write the poem on the back of a recycled sheet of paper.  The other side of the paper might contain information your Valentine would find interesting anyway.

3) Give the gift of nature.  Through The Nature Conservancy, you can adopt trees in Brazil, an acre of rainforest in Costa Rica or give the gift of clean water and announce your donation to friends and family through an E-card.

4) Purchase your loved one's favorite songs on iTunes, or send them an iTunes gift certificate that automatically arrives in their email.

5) If you have time to buy chocolate, choose a sustainable option using GoodGuide, recommends GreenBizGreen & Blacks dark chocolate bar is at the top of the list.  GoodGuide, an online organization, is the world's largest and most reliable source of information on the health, environmental and social impacts of consumer products.  

6) Want the company you love to become an EcoGreenOffice partner?  Consider getting their permission to sign them up to be an EGO partner.  This way, your favorite business will be connected with other green businesses and on the path to purchasing sustainable office products.

Let your favorite business know about the possibility of becoming an EGO partner this Valentine's Day!
