Valentines Day: Staff Picks for Love Day

 

While I’m not a huge Valentine’s Day fan, I do love the idea of celebrating loved ones. I imagine the day being about making someone feel special, nothing too fancy, but enjoying some of the simple pleasures we often overlook. Whether a meal, watching a favourite rom-com or playing a game, team NFDI has gathered together some of our favourites to share with you.

With a similar take on our Lookbook “staff picks”, we decide on the theme, so to speak, and then send in our lists accordingly. We’re not aware of each others selections until they’ve all been submitted, so it was fun to see how many similarities there were amongst our choices. You’d think we spent a lot of time together or something ;)

We hope this inspires you to try a new recipe or two, cuddle up with a movie and enjoy some ice cream directly from the container, two spoons of course!
