Sustainable Wine
If you both enjoy drinking consider picking up a bottle of organic or biodynamic wine. These wines offer a more mindful choice when drinking. I personally love Dry Farm Wines!

Plus, you can always do a wine bottle up-cycling craft together after finishing the bottle!
Ethical Chocolate
If you or your partner has a sweet tooth fair trade organic chocolate is a MUST!
You can discover more ethical chocolate brands in our Fair Trade Chocolate Guide or Organic Chocolate Brand List.

Connecting
Consider getting cozy in your pajamas and playing a board game, baking a sweet treat, or doing a craft in order to do something together and reconnect.
