For the next instalment in this ongoing series, the H&G team dug deep in their saved archives to share the things they’ve got their eye on for Valentine’s Day!
With so much design inspiration and limited characters, here are our favourite posts of the week. We hope it inspires you too and don’t forget to follow our Instagram account.
Hands up! This is a strawberry!
This Valentine's Day I want to do something that's been on my bucket list for a while now – strawberry picking. Even though I'm single by choice this is a lovely outing for you and your fellow single Christines. If you're lucky enough to live in Cape Town, check out the strawberry fields outside Stellenbosch for some easy pickings - Walter Hayward, Managing & Syndication Editor
Let them eat cake?
I would find any reason to celebrate with cake, and Valentine's Day is the perfect reason to do so. Whether you are gifting your partner, friend, family member or even yourself with a mini cake, choose to embrace this day of love with buttercream, sprinkles and sweetness! - Yashna Balwanth, Senior Features Writer
Posies for any occasion
Listen, I love flowers! And all I ever want for a special occasion, from V-Day to my birthday, is a bunch of flowers almost bigger than me. Petal&Post is a favourite of mine and I always enjoy the way they arrange their flowers - Alyx Carolus, Digital Editor
Cups of love
This mug is a gift I would give any one I love who is in my life. Firstly because I believe everyday should start with an amazing cup of coffee. This mantra is one we can all keep closely to our hearts. I find hand made ceramics to be exceptionally beautiful, with rugged edges and unexpected imperfections - Vine Lucas, Digital Campaign Manager
Get ready to DIY
I recently made decor for our 4-year-old's dollhouse including shweshwe scatter cushions, dress, heart garlands, and clay chic chip cookies, cake stand and an art frame with custom AI art. I also made a mini magazine, which you can't really see here.
Although my hubby and I don't normally fuss about Valentine's day, since our daughter started calling it 'love day' we exchange chocolate hearts and cards on the day. I am sure I'll play in the dollhouse with her too that day. - Andrea Kuhn, Art Director
