How to go eco on Valentines Day

Ever wondered how to go eco on Valentines Day? Well, now you know how! Yes, it’s just a light-hearted (no pun intended) bit of fun, but hey, you got to start somewhere! Urm, it’s the organic handkerchiefs that really makes it eco and special. I could be biased though… Home » Blog

Give your honey a hanky on Valentines Day

Take the eco way out this year and give your honey a hanky on Valentines Day! Not just any hanky mind you, but an organic handkerchief from The Organic Handkerchiefs Company. Choose from a luscious silky cotton hanky set of 3 or a soft cuddly flannel hanky, also in a set of 3. We offer 4 different sizes to suit any taste, but may we suggest the 11″ x 11″ medium sized organic hanky for that special lady in your life. If you are buying for your man, may we suggest the 14″ x 14″ large sized organic hanky. So for Valentines Day, just pair a set of 3 hankies with perhaps a bar of high quality organic dark chocolate and a romantic hand-made card and you’ve got February 14th in the bag!

Happy Organic Raw Gluten Free Eco Friendly Holidays

from The Organic Handkerchiefs Company

For at least half the friends I have, this is pretty much what I’m going to be saying to them at Christmas and Hanukkah this year! One friend only buys organic, one only eats raw food, one is gluten free and organic and one only buys eco-friendly. Whew! Now, if these were your friends, what would you be buying them as gifts this holiday season?

For me, the answer is simple. I’ll be giving them a set of organic handkerchiefs. And, no, it’s not just because I own The Organic Handkerchiefs Company. It just makes sense to me.

One, I only use GOTS certified organic cotton to make the hankies. The whole idea of using a handkerchief instead of a paper tissue is that it is an eco-friendly choice because you can use a hanky, throw it in the washing machine and use again. Paper tissues get thrown out making them a more wasteful product.

Organic Flannel Handkerchiefs are unbleached and the flannel, still in its fairly raw state, still shows some of the tiny bits of cotton seeds in them. You usually never see these because conventional material is made to have this part dyed to match the color of the fabric. And, of course, I think you can safely assume organic handkerchiefs are indeed gluten-free.

The organic handkerchiefs from The Organic Handkerchiefs Company were designed with the whole family in mind. That is why I created up to 4 different sizes so that the smaller ones could be for children, the medium sized ones for women to carry in their purses and the larger ones for the men to fold in quarters and keep in their pocket. (The fourth size is the huge hanky and that is only for the serious hanky user – trust me!)

So now that I know I’ll be giving my friends organic handkerchiefs this year and I can pretty much figure out what sized hanky I want to give, my only thought now goes to which organic handkerchief material should I choose? I offer organic handkerchiefs in organic flannel which is cream colored, organic cotton in both white and black and a very special, limited edition organic bamboo flannel in bright white.

I can tell you the organic flannel handkerchiefs are my best sellers, mainly because they actually look organic in that earthy kind of way. They are really soft and it is an unusual material to make hankies out of but is actually pretty fantastic and in the winter time, I think they are the perfect hanky to carry around.

I love to give the White Organic Cotton Handkerchiefs out to business people types. What I mean to say is anyone that has to really dress up to go to work every day – the white cotton would be my choice.

The Black Organic Cotton Handkerchiefs I would give to the modern, young, hip crowd, especially if they like to wear a lot of black. These are also great for anyone that works in an orchestra pit for a living. (This is not a joke, but actually a popular item for this crowd!)

And, finally, I would give the Organic Bamboo Flannel Handkerchiefs to my closest friends as the material is so unique, so soft and ultra plush that they would know I had chosen something extra special.

Well, that’s my Christmas and Hanukkah list complete. I wish you luck in your gift giving and hope I have helped shed some light on what to give those organic, raw, gluten-free types for Christmas or Hanukkah. Home » Blog
