For pjs that literally swaddle you in natural softness, check out nightgowns as a snuggly option for the women in your life. Even with ecowear, you can always find something a little more sensual for that special someone…

Gaiam offers similar smple, organic cotton designs, as well as a more revealing spaghetti-strap nightgown made from a blend of organic cotton and soy fibers.

Valentine gifts of organic lingerie send an inarguable message of appreciation.
