GoodShop Shop of the Week - Valentine's Day Stores

February 9, 2011 | BY CarolineParrone | FILED UNDER JHF BLOG >

 At Joyful Heart, we like to think of Valentine's Day as a great opportunity for a self-care day. Who better to love than yourself?!

No matter if you are encouraging someone else to practice self-care or pampering yourself, make sure to share the love! Monday, that's right, Monday is Valentine's Day.

Here are some great options for giving gifts to others or yourself on this special day.

Joyful Blooms 

For me, the Joyful Heart offices are always the most cheerful when we have fresh flowers around. So this may be one of my top self-care/Valentine's Day wish list items. While I was checking out the endless options for flowers and gifts to order through GoodShop, I found a very cool online flower shop, Organic Bouquet. Not only do they have great flower arrangements, gift baskets and cookies, they also have an entire section of the site dedicated to "Flowers for Good" which allows you to choose an arrangement that supports your (second) favorite non-profit organization. If you order through GoodShop, you can support two good causes with one purchase (6% for Joyful Heart through GoodShop and 5% for another charity through Organic Bouquet).

Personally, I love the color of the Global Fund for Women's Roses. How cool would a Joyful Blooms arrangement be?

Un-bear-ably Huggable

Looking for something to squeeze this Valentine's Day? Snuggle up with a teddy bear from Vermont Teddy Bear. This shop offers very cute themed bears as well as pajama/teddy bear sets! My favorite is the combo with the Footy Pajamas for adults. Too cool and COZY! Use GoodShop and your purchase will result in a 4 - 5% donation to Joyful Heart with no additional cost to you!

Vintage Styles and Sweets

My style is retro/vintage all the way. I was thrilled to see that RetroPlanet works with GoodShop too! Get your Valentine something groovy. While I don't encourage consuming massive amounts of candy, it can be a once-in-a-while self-care treat! Check out their collection of "Old School" candy. They donate 5 - 6.5% of your total to Joyful Heart.

A Heartwarming Laugh

Nothing relaxes me like a good hearty laughing fit. Check out JibJab to create personalized, email-able, and hilarious Valentines! I love these quick and easy ways to let someone know I am thinking about them. I signed up for JibJab and 25% of my total benefited Joyful Heart! (JibJab has many free options too).
