Congratulations to the winners of our first #WinItWednesday contest on Twitter! We received hundreds of submissions from our followers and it was fun to read all the great ideas for adding an environmentally-inspired twist to Valentine’s Day. Each of the three winners will receive a $100 Walmart gift card for providing a creative, crafty and eco-friendly idea.

Here are the winning entries:

With a suggestion for reusing yarn, @didyouyarnthat offered this DIY idea: “@WalmartGreen I buy wool & cashmere sweaters at thrift stores & unravel using yarn to make new things. #WinItWednesday.”

Offering a green giving tip for gardeners, @jcatt’s winning entry was: “@WalmartGreen I am giving everyone rosebush cuttings from my garden so they can plant their own #WinItWednesday.”

And for anyone considering gift ideas for his or her better half, @katonit shared this story: “@WalmartGreen Hubby needed a clock for his man room so for his Valentine’s present I made him one from an old record album #WinItWednesday.”

Thanks again to our contest winners and thanks to everyone who sent us ideas on Twitter. But the discussion doesn’t have to stop here. Do you have an idea for a sustainably-sourced Valentine’s Day present? Comment here or send a message to @WalmartGreen.

Be sure to follow us on Twitter for updates on our next #WinItWednesday contest that will take place March 6.
