Valentines gift ideas that aren’t your typical flowers and chocolates
Valentines gift ideas that aren’t your typical flowers and chocolates, but won’t break the bank either
Valentines day stems back from the roman times when Emperor Claudius II banned marriage because he thought married men made bad soldiers. Valentine didn’t like this idea, so he broke the rules and arranged marriages in secret. When Claudius found out, Valentine was thrown in jail and sentenced to death.
There, he fell in love with the jailer's daughter and when he was taken to be killed on 14 February he sent her a love letter signed "from your Valentine”….so that’s where the famous secret card giving phrase comes from.
Interesting facts about valentine’s day:
- The first Valentine's Day was in the year 496!
- Around 110 million Valentine’s roses are sold 2-3 days leading up to February 14th, mostly red of course.
- It has been estimated that the UK will spend around £880 million on valentine’s day in 2019.
- The red rose was the favourite flower of Venus, the Roman goddess of love.
