Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas - Tips On Enjoying The Day of Love
Cynics say that St. Valentine’s day is one big marketing ploy architected by the genius of Madison avenue to sell greeting cards and chocolate. Whether, this is true or not - love is a gift worth celebrating.
According to historians, Valentine’s day originated from a cruel practice, which goes back to the fourth century B.C., where young Roman boys would draw the names of girls from a box - like a lottery. The young boy would then make the girl, his sexual partner for the remaining of the year.
After eight hundred years of this cruelty, the church stopped the practice and looked for a suitable patron saint of love - St. Valentine was the answer.
There are varing stories on St. Valentine. Some say he was a bishop, who defied Emperor Claudius rule, forbidding men to marry. Claudius believed that married men made poor soldiers.
Valentine ignored this rule and secretly married young men. When Claudius found out about Valentine’s action, he had him beheaded. Another story has it that Valentine was imprisoned and
fell in love with his jailer’s daughter. Before he was put to death, he wrote a note and signed it “From Your Valentine”. The rest is history.
Now that you know the history of St. Valentine’s day, aren’t you ready to do a little something special for your lady or gentleman love?
Here are a few gift ideas, guaranteed to please your significant other.
