February 14 is Valentine's Day, a holiday celebrated by all lovers. On this day, even the most shy people tend to reveal their feelings.
Where did this holiday come from?
On February 14, Russia began to celebrate not so long ago, from about the mid-90s of the last century. Nowadays, this holiday is very popular, especially among young people.
The history of Valentine's Day began in the Roman Empire many centuries ago. The emperor forbade his soldiers to marry, because it distracted them. However, there was one priest Valentine, who helped all couples in love and secretly married them. When the emperor found out about this, the priest was executed on 14 February. However, he managed to write a farewell letter to his beloved, signed by his name.
Valentine was later declared a martyr, and February 14 officially became Valentine's Day. On this day, it is customary to write declarations of love, which are called "valentines".
What is customary to give on Valentine's Day
On this day, it is not the gift itself that is important, but the confessions that you want to make to your loved one. The most common gifts are small and not so postcards, often in the shape of a heart. You can also make them yourself, which will be even much better. For congratulations, you can use ready-made poems or compose them yourself. The second option is preferable because these words will come from the heart and only for your man.
A more substantial gift can be attached to the "valentine", which is chosen according to the preferences of your soul mate. It could be some kind of practical gift in the form of an accessory for his car (if available), computer, or for clothing. When choosing a gift, always proceed from his preferences and hobbies. However, we must remember that this is the day of lovers, and the main thing here is not the gift itself, but precisely the manifestation of feelings for your chosen one. Therefore, be sure to complement practicality with something romantic.
You can prepare a romantic candlelit dinner for your man by decorating dishes and a table in the form of hearts. All sorts of little things in the form of balls, candles will very well complement this evening, which should pass in a gentle, loving atmosphere.
A gift in the form of mugs, T-shirts, photo frames will be good, the main thing is that it matches the occasion. They can show your joint happy photos, or just words of love. You can present a certificate for a joint trip to the SPA-salon for relaxing procedures, where the two of you will enjoy the skills of professionals.
There are many options, it is important that the gift is sincere, even a small heart-shaped balloon can bring much more joy than something very expensive, but without a soul.
