In this article we want to tell you a short history of the origins of Valentine's Day and give you some advice on gift ideas to surprise your girlfriend or boyfriend on this special day!
The origins of Valentine's Day
Like many celebrations, Valentine's Day is the result of a combination of traditions, legends and religious influences.
The first legend, as the name itself suggests, concerns the figure of Saint Valentine, a bishop of Terni: during the 3rd century he used to celebrate secret marriages for young lovers, going against a decree of Emperor Claudius II, who had forbidden marriages between soldiers, believing that celibates were better fighters.
In England and France in the Middle Ages the Valentine's Day was linked to a popular tradition that saw February 14th as the day on which birds mated, symbolizing love.
Over the centuries, the figure of Saint Valentine has evolved and become a symbol of romantic love.
Today we know Valentine's Day as a day to celebrate by giving cards, chocolates and gifts to our love, as the first commercial printed cards began in the 19th century.
Let's find out now what better way there is to make your better half happy.
Surely with a nice romantic dinner, a beautiful bouquet of flowers, a box of chocolates... But why not giving a gift that lasts over time and tells your story?
