Maybe he or she has mentioned a book that looks good, or maybe your love collects something that he or she would like to have more of. There are always different options when it comes to gifts, and they don’t have to be the same things that everyone else is getting.

If you want to buy chocolates, there are designer confections you can buy. You can also personalize jewelry for that special someone, get lingerie that’s sexy AND comfortable, dress up the bedroom for a romantic evening, spend time with friends, or just spend time with one another doing something that you both enjoy.

Romantic outings like picnics, visiting little antique shops, going to a local fair or festival, taking a class together, and similar things can be fun and enjoyable as well as something different that makes a loving and lasting memory.

The Most Popular Valentine’s Day Gifts from Around the World



Depending on where in the world you make your home, the gifts and traditions of Valentine’s Day can really differ.

Flowers are customary in Austria just as they are in America.

In Britain there are valentine buns baked with plums, raisins, or caraway seeds, and children sing songs and get candy.

In Japan the women gives the man a gift on February fourteenth and on March fourteenth he has to give it back to her, so she essentially chooses her own gift. Something very similar is done in Korea, as well.

In Spain, men generally send their wives or girlfriends roses.

Scotland has a big festival where dancing and a lot of fun activities occur.

No matter where you are the most common offerings are still flowers, chocolates, and cards, but there are as many customs as there are countries, and not everyone in a particular country does things in a traditional way. Some people like to break with tradition and get their love something that’s completely unique and different, making it very memorable for both parties and something that they can treasure in the future.

The History of Valentine’s Day



There are a lot of opinions about how Valentine’s Day got started, and some are nicer ideas than others. One of the most common opinions is that Valentine was a priest. When marriage was outlawed because the Emperor thought that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, Valentine went ahead and kept performing marriages in secret because he cared about people who were in love. He was put to death for this, according to the legend.

Whether that’s true or not is really not known, because the origins of the holiday are, for the most part, a mystery. Other legends say that he helped people escape harsh treatment by the Romans or that he fell in love with the jailor’s daughter while in prison and wrote her a letter, which is how the sending of valentines got started.

No matter how the legend began, Valentine’s Day is big business today with cards and flowers and candy. Some men also buy their girlfriends jewelry for the day, and it’s a popular time to get engaged as well. This tradition of love will continue well into the future.
