Valentine’s Gift
When it comes to Valentines gift, there are many ideas associated with it that come to the mind all at once; from plush dolls and red roses to astonishing chocolate boxes whose sight attract you a lot more than their tastes. Here are a few suggestions for the Valentine’s, so that you can make the best choice this year. Before we discuss the best choices for the Valentine’s day, its a good idea to have a short overview of how the day became known to all.
A History of the Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day, recognized on February 14th, is marked as an official celebration on the calendar. Although the Valentine’s gift is the most attractive thing to us, its history is an interesting story as well. This day, which is also titled as «Saint Valentine’s Day», reminds of different events, each of which had a great influence on its global reputation.
Many believe that the history of the valentine’s day refers to Lupercalia festival that was held in mid-February as a celebration for the approach of the spring. During this festival, girls and boys were paired by lot, which sometimes could lead to marriages. The festival however was stopped and banned by the end of the fifth century, instead of which the Valentine’s festival was held.
However, the day was not associated with today’s romantic theme until the end of the 14th century. Many believe that the name of this day is derived from a Christian priest’s name who was killed by Emperor Claudius II. It is said that the priest had written a letter to a girl, and at the end of the letter it was written «From Your Valentine». The girl who used to be blind, could see again as the priest gave her sight back to her. But the same girls’ father was now Valentine’s prison guard.
The last and most famous guess about the roots of the Valentine’s day refers to a priest who used to engage girls and boys secretly, to save the boys from attending the war. That is why this day is tied with a romantic theme in many cultures.

Red Rose: The Most Romantic Romantic Valentine’s Gifts

Candles
Candles are among the very appropriate Valentine’s gifts which will be both durable and memorable. Candles are seen on different occasions such as a romantic dinner. We suggest you use scented candles as Valentine’s gifts.
Plush Dolls
You may have noticed many people who buy dolls as Valentine’s gift. These dolls are very symbolic and used to be even more popular during the 80s in Iran. Many people still buy plush bears of different sizes. Although it looks very attractive to some people, it doesn’t seem like a good method of showing one’s love for another. On the other hand, large dolls are usually very expensive, and since the dolls will be left out of use, they are not really worth spending a large sum.
Memorable Post Cards
Sending Valentine’s messages began in 1500 AD and post cards became conventional methods of sending “Happy Valentine” messages. In America, the cards were made with the concept of goddess of love. Post cards can be perfect ideas for the Valentine’s gifts if you make the cards by yourself. Given that the cards are not really costly, we suggest you use them together with another gift.
