Hold A Fun Contest – You could all share your most interesting love stories and the winner could win a prize such as a meal for two or cinema tickets. Choose prizes that could suit just about anyone.
Chocoholics – Bring in some chocolate goodies for the staff room or little chocolate gifts for each member of staff.

Cupid’s Desk – Is it time to refresh your desk? Then what better way than to fill it with Valentine’s Day theme coloured items! Take a look at some we have available!
