Green gifts – products that appeal to consumers’ environmental consciousness – are everywhere and are made for every occasion from Christmas to Valentine’s Day.

“According to a 2006 poll by Global Market Institute, 90 percent of Americans are concerned about the future of the environment,” said Jenny Belknap, vice president of global marketing for Origins, a company that has always embraced the connection between Mother Nature and human nature.

“Consumers are not setting that concern aside when they shop for gifts. Rather, we’re seeing increasing demand for environmentally friendly gift products,” she said.

So what’s hot in green gifts? Here are some eco-friendly gift ideas sure to warm the heart of your environmentally conscious sweetheart:

• Help your loved one rest easy with organic bed linens. Retail giants like Target and Bed, Bath and Beyond have bowed to the organic movement and now offer organic cotton sheets and even sets made from bamboo. They are available in deep-pocket versions to fit today’s thicker mattresses. For more information on organic bed linens and other eco-friendly gifts, go online to www.treehugger.com.

• Looking to incorporate an organic beauty regimen into your eco-lifestyle? Origins, the first prestige natural beauty and wellness brand, continues to lead the industry with natural and organic beauty offerings for women and men.

These include gift sets and products from the Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins collection and new Origins Organics, a complete line of Organic skin, body and hair products. The products are available worldwide at Origins retail stores, department stores and online.

Origins also recently announced the company is reducing its carbon footprint by partnering with Community Energy to purchase clean renewable energy credits. These credits are equal to 100 percent of the energy used by its U.S. retail stores and the manufacturing of all Origins products. The energy credits also help support wind energy projects throughout the country. Go online to www.origins.com for more information.

• Hoping to introduce someone to the joys of environmentally responsible living? Check out www.gogreengift.com, where you will find a kit for your eco-newbie. The Eco-Starter Kit includes such basic eco-friendly items as a low-flow shower head, compact fluorescent light bulbs, a GoGreen EcoGuide and organic fruit leather, coffee and tea. Or, pick up a copy of “The Green Book: The Everyday Guide to Saving the Planet One Simple Step at a Time,” which is available at bookstores everywhere.

• Candles are a timeless, classic gift year-round. If you’re concerned about giving the candle-lover in your life a candle with artificial scents and a questionable origin, try an Akeewakee Personal Candle, available at Origins retail stores. First made in 2003 in the French Quarter in New Orleans, the candles are crafted from natural soy and beeswax with a wick of all-natural plant fibers designed to reduce soot and carbon emissions.

• Finally, if you’re looking to go grand with your eco-friendly gift, consider taking your beloved tree-hugger on an eco-friendly vacation. Tourism companies now offer tour packages to areas of environmental interest.

While some travelers opt to soak in the natural beauty, others choose to become actively involved in local projects designed to help the environment.

Or, send your loved one to a location closer to home for a stay in an eco-friendly hotel. Many hotel chains and independent facilities have instituted a range of environmentally responsible practices, from using eco-friendly laundry products to banning smoking throughout the property.
