Ah, Valentine’s Day, it’s so romantic. For many, it’s a day for spending time with our Significant Others to get a chance to appreciate everything about them.
But Valentine’s Day can be celebrated by anyone. Even if you don’t have an SO, you can share cards and chocolate with friends and family or go out with friends to show everyone that you’re single and proud!
This article will take a look at the holiday, what it’s about and provide Valentine’s Day fashion gift suggestions for the people you love.
History of Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day originated with the Roman festival of Lupercalia. This event was held in mid-February and celebrated the coming of spring and fertility. During the festival, women were often paired off with men by lottery.
The festival was replaced by Valentine’s Day in the 5th century by Pope Gelasius I. The new name gave it an updated identity and it was seen as a day for romance all over the world.
Although many think the name of the holiday was inspired by the many Christian martyrs’ named Valentine, it likely originated with Emperor Claudius II Gothicus in 270 CE.
Gothicus was being jailed at the time and befriended his jailer’s daughter. It was reported that he cured her from blindness. Supposedly he wrote a letter to her and signed it “From your Valentine”, hence, the tradition of sending Valentine’s cards began.
Another theory is that the holiday was named for St. Valentine’s who defied the ruler’s orders and secretly married couples so the husbands would not have to go to war.
Over the years, Valentine’s Day became commercialized with printed cards being manufactured in the late 1700s. Common symbols are Cupid, hearts, roses, and birds because spring is avian mating season.
People celebrate by going out with loved ones, giving gifts, exchanging cards, eating sweets, and making romantic gestures to their SO.
The holiday is celebrated in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Argentina, Mexico, and South Korea. In the Philippines, it is the most common day for people to get married.
Valentine’s Day Gifts
Valentine’s Day is a fun holiday, but it can be stressful to come up with gift ideas for friends, family and significant others.
Chocolate is a good stand by, but with so many people watching their weight these days, and others with allergies, it’s not the best idea for everyone.
Flowers are another option, but they are expensive and they die quickly. It is for this reason that not everyone likes giving or receiving them as gifts.
So what can you give that’s practical and long-lasting? How about FIERCEPULSE Valentine’s Day leggings?
They’re cute, they promote physical activity and their stretch material means you don’t have to worry too much about finding the perfect size. They make a terrific gift that the women in your life are sure to love.
One thing friends and family will appreciate is the leggings’ superior quality. Each pair is handmade from a four-way stretch material that will comply with your every move.
The flat waistband provides the ultimate in comfort. They have great no-fade prints and even provide UV protection.
