Happy Monday Duratus Team!
Last week was a little bit of a slower week for us between the holiday and a few unexpected days off work for me etc. However we still got some good things accomplished, and we have another solid week ahead.
Also, don’t forget that Wednesday is Valentines Day, so make sure to do something nice for your partner, kids, etc. I will have a few ideas for you at the end ;)

RANDOM:
Here are my recommendations for Valentine's Gifts if you need some help:
- Men are so hard to buy for, so I got this Bullet Bouquet for Jim this year. I thought it was kind of cool and unique, so hopefully he likes it.
- For my kids, I got them these heart boxes of Sees Candy, which is a long-time family tradition (my dad used to always get these for us on Valentine's Day when we were little, and we loved them)
- And for women, you really can’t go wrong with good chocolate and flowers. Lately, I’ve been loving this company called Olive & Cocoa because they have unique flower arrangements that last a long time and cool gift baskets.
Hope that helps!
