This festival, which so many of us today consider to be a commercial holiday, has been a real custom since the Middle Ages. Processions are even organised to celebrate lovers. And hide-and-seek games between bachelors were held to help everyone find their soul mate. From the 19th century onwards, the practice of exchanging love notes developed. Valentines”, cards with sweet nothings on them, became the symbol of Valentine’s Day. In the United States, it is customary to give them to all loved ones, in the broadest sense of the term.
The real origin of this festival is attested in the 14th century in the still Catholic Great Britain, where Valentine’s Day on 14 February was celebrated as a lovers’ day because it was believed that birds chose this day to mate. … Valentine’s Day became a secular festival in the 20th century.
“When you love, you don’t count! Some stars have taken this saying literally by showering their loved ones with lavish gifts:
– In 2014 Kanye West gave Kim a thousand roses, frankly, class!
– In 2010, Angelina chose to have an olive tree planted at a cost of $18,500 for their property in the south of France. A nice gift for her Brad.
– David Beckham is said to have given Victoria a necklace worth $8 million a few years ago.
Not all of us can afford to be as lavish as those eccentric stars. There are more affordable ways to tell the people you love that you love them:
– Giving a gift of our beloved singer M’s album
– Preparing a nice dinner with love
– Surprising your loved one with a personalised Happy Funky Family portrait, beautifully wrapped and scented, to which we will attach your most beautiful love notes!
