It's long been a romantic tradition to carve your initials into the bark of a tree.  However, it's still romantic (and kinder to trees) to opt for personalized tree-trunk carvings on wine or pilsner glasses instead. These duo sets from UncommonGoods are unique and totally customizable with initials and dates to make the perfect gift for the Valentine in your life.
