6 Valentine’s Day
TRADITIONS
Valentine’s Day is a day of love nestled in the middle
of February. Sweethearts use Valentine’s Day
as an opportunity to show the people they care
about just how deep those feelings run. A 2023 survey
from the National Retail Federation found consumers
expected to spend $25.9 billion on Valentine’s Day, up
from $23.9 billion in 2022. Forecasters suspect spending
is likely to increase this year as well.
Valentine’s Day is awash in many different customs.
Here’s a deep look at some of those enduring traditions
and others that some may feel should be brought back
into favor or adopted entirely.
H a n dw r i t t e n
cards - It’s a
common scene
each year in card
retailers and pharmacies:
people
three-deep in the
aisle trying to
pick out Valentine’s
Day cards
in the eleventh hour. People can save themselves the hassle
of fighting the crowds if they make their own handmade
cards. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries,
sweethearts created unique cards from scratch, according
to Country Living. And prior to products produced
by Hallmark and other greeting card companies, people
used to send one another cards customized with personalized
messages.
Pampering gentlemen - It is common in North America
for Valentine’s Day celebrations to lean significantly toward
favoring women, who are often on the receiving end
of flowers and chocolates. However, in South Korea and
Japan, it is the men who are pampered with such gifts.
Women purchase chocolates for their male partners, family
members and coworkers as tokens of appreciation and
affection. Never fear, a month later on White Day (March
14) men reciprocate with candy, cake and flowers.
Bouquets - These days a dozen long-stemmed red roses
might be the norm for Valentine’s Day gifting. However,
roses weren’t always the preferred flower for the holiday.
History.com reports that, in the nineteenth century,
bouquets might contain all sorts of flowers, each chosen
to convey certain messages. Individuals can research the
meanings behind certain flowers and put together a Valentine’s
Day gift this year that expresses exactly what
they are feeling.
Puzzle purses - Sweethearts in Victorian England created
“puzzle purses,” which were a series of love letters
that could be read separately, but also fit together
to create a design and message. These intricately folded
sheets of paper had parts of messages or verses written
on different corners and were meant to be read in a specific
order.
Heart-shaped chocolate boxes - British chocolatier
Richard Cadbury is credited with creating the first heartshaped
box for Valentine’s Day. The boxes were intended
to be so beautiful they would be kept to hold trinkets
or love letters. Ornate chocolate boxes are not quite as
common today, although the gifting of chocolate for the
holiday is still strong.
Celebrating in June? - Many Brazilians skip Valentine’s
Day in February and choose to celebrate Saint Anthony,
the patron saint of marriage and matchmaking, on June 12.
Celebrating both is fine for those who prefer to shower affection
on loved ones multiple times a year
