Why We Celebrate Valentine's Day

If you're getting ready to celebrate Valentine's Day with your special someone, you might be wondering: Why do we celebrate Valentine's Day in the first place? Let's take a closer look at why we embrace this loving holiday along with some ideas for gifts to get for your loved one this February 14th.

Valentine’s Day History: Why Do We Celebrate It?

Valentine's Day can be traced back centuries; it was originally a day to mark the death of St. Valentine, but as early as the 1300's, the day became associated with love and lovers. There are even written Valentine's Day greetings that go as far back as the 1400's, including a poem written by an imprisoned duke to his wife!

Over the years, written greetings turned into Valentine’s Day cards, which were often bundled with special presents such as chocolates, sweets and of course, flowers.
