Find sunset roses, stargazer lilies, and even organic chocolates at organicbouquets.com, or dazzle her with a vase of striking organic sunflowers from californiaorganicflowers.com. Either way, she'll be smiling all day.

Natural Gift Wrapping

Don't stop with just a great gift. You'll want to wrap it in Earth-friendly material, as well. Luckily, we have gorgeous ideas. For example, Birch bark and fresh leaves are surprisingly pliable; just roll and secure with twine. Find them in Asian markets and outdoors. Clockwise from top left: Banana leaf with cinnamon, bamboo leaves with hemp twine, bamboo leaves with star anise, banana leaves with reeds, birch bark with a feather.
