Buckley loves unwrapping presents (who doesn’t) and this post has a lot to do with him so it’s only right that he got to unwrap some of them himself.

We are not normally big on Valentine’s day, but it’s always good to share some love and take a moment to let someone you know how much you appreciate them. All the more so when you are working together 24/7 as it can be very easy to take each other for granted.

So we wanted to take a moment to talk about one of the biggest epiphanies that has ever happened in our relationship (12 years!!eek) and one of the most romantic things we’ve done together, with a few cheeky best buys to help you get inspired.

Last year we turned to each other on the sofa after a long week and a moment to ‘Netflix and Chill’, and we both had tears in our eyes. Admittedly we had just watched OKJA, the movie with Tilda Swinton and Jake Gyllenhaal (two of our favs) and it was a tear jerker, but this was different. This was like a light switch moment and we arrived there right at the same time. This was the moment we decided to become Vegans.

You may know this already (as you know how much we love our dog companion, Buckley the wonder dog), but we wanted to share with you some of the best gifts out there right now that are perfect for anyone who is dipping their toes into vegan or plant based living. Or even if you aren’t, they are still amazing and a great way to celebrate love mindfully.

Hopefully that isn’t all a bit worthy for you. The point is to think about the person or people you love and thoughtfully show them you care. For us, we love Buckers so much that we just couldn’t eat animal produce anymore and so we wanted to celebrate that. It’s been an adventure finding out that there are Vegan alternatives for almost everything (some more successful than others) but generally amazing. And Notonthehighstreet have made it so easy by putting it online. Anything that helps to make our vegan transition easier is fine by us.
