Valentine's Day is that magical moment in winter where love takes center stage! It's all about warm confessions, heartfelt surprises, and thoughtful gifts that speak louder than words. But let's be honest—finding the perfect gift can feel like a mission (because petals and cards are nice, but how about something extra special?). We’ve got everything you need to make sure this Valentine's Day stands out!
A Little Love and History
Ever wondered where Valentine's Day came from? Here’s the short and sweet version: Back in ancient Rome, a priest named Valentine secretly married couples in love, defying a ban by the emperor. His brave actions didn’t go unnoticed, and even though he lost his life for love, Valentine became a symbol of devotion. Fast forward to the 5th century, and the church gave us the Valentine’s Day we know and adore.
Now, here’s the fun part—how we celebrate love changes depending on where you go in the world!
- In Japan, women take the lead by gifting chocolates. There’s "giri-choco" or “friendly chocolate,” for coworkers and friends, but for those lucky special ones, it’s "honmei-choco" — chocolate from the heart.
- In South Korea, it’s similar, but with a twist. It’s not just about chocolate; they love sweet treats like handmade candies and gourmet jelly.
