Valentine's Day Gifts

Why is Valentine’s Day celebrated?

Valentine’s Day is celebrated on 14 February every year. This day of love is all about showing your affection to your partner, family, and friends. However, its origin story is a little bit murky. According to legend, this holiday finds its roots in ancient Roman times, when people celebrated a festival called Lupercalia from 13 to 15 February. This festival was all about encouraging fertility and pairing women and men up. In the third century, Roman emperor Claudius II executed two martyrs, both named Valentine, on 14 February of different years. These men went on to be honoured by the Catholic Church and that’s how St. Valentine’s Day came to be. Over the years, Lupercalia and St. Valentines Day became intertwined, and thanks to authors like Shakespeare and William Chaucer, its popularity grew as well as its narrative around love. Today, we celebrate Valentine's Day by gifting and spoiling our loved ones, and making sure to spend quality time with them.

Why do we give gifts on Valentine's Day?

Valentine's Day originally began as a celebration of love and fertility, and over the centuries it has turned into a major commercial holiday. The concept of Valentine's Day evolved in the middle ages, slowly but surely. First, handmade cards were the gifts of choice, allowing people to write down their innermost thoughts and feelings. As the world became more industrialized, mass production took over and many holidays, including Valentine's Day, became commercialised as a way for businesses to profit. Despite this seemingly negative connotation, gift-giving on Valentine's Day is simply a way to show the special person in your life that you care. You don't need to go lavish or spend a lot of money - it's the thought that counts. Make Valentine's Day special with small gifts that means a lot from Superbalist.
