What Is Valentine's Day?
Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14th each year as a holiday honoring love and affection. While it is best known as a romantic holiday, many people also use the day to express appreciation for friends and family. It is one of the most commercially significant holidays of the year, with Americans spending an estimated $24 billion annually on cards, flowers, chocolates, and gifts.
The History Behind February 14th
The holiday is named after Saint Valentine, a Christian martyr from the 3rd century AD. The romantic associations developed during the Middle Ages — Geoffrey Chaucer and other medieval poets linked Saint Valentine's feast day with courtly love. By the 18th century, exchanging handmade cards and small gifts on February 14th had become popular in England, and the tradition spread worldwide.
Valentine's Day Gift Ideas
Classic Valentine's gifts include flowers (roses are traditional, but many prefer the recipient's favorite), chocolates, jewelry, and heartfelt cards. For a more personal touch, consider a shared experience — a cooking class, concert tickets, or a weekend getaway — which studies show brings more lasting happiness than physical gifts. A personalized countdown shared ahead of the day adds anticipation and shows you put thought into the moment.
