Valentine's Day is right around the corner and it can be a stressful
time for some people. We've all heard stories of how couples end up
fighting because they forgot to buy
flowers or find something special, but this doesn't have to be the
case!
Here at Love Kate’s, we’re going to help ensure that all our wonderful
customers have a stress-free Valentine’s
Day by making it easier than ever for you to find a card
or gift
they’ll LOVE.
We believe that everyone should try to send a card or a gift to someone
you appreciate on February 14th, regardless of whether the relationship
is romantic or platonic… they’re bound to appreciate the thoughtful
gesture!
Card sending is also an excellent way of showing someone you care about
them when they’re having an off day or going through something tough in
their life. Let’s have a look at the origins of Valentine’s Day, how to
celebrate it and some unique Valentine’s Day ideas for those who are
still recovering from the
Christmas chaos!
What is the history of Valentine’s Day? When is Valentine’s Day?
Celebrated on the 14th of February every year, Valentine’s
Day is the traditional day on which people express their love for
each other by presenting flowers,
offering confectionery
and sending
greeting cards (known as 'valentines'). Valentine's Day is a great
way to express love and appreciation for others, even if your romantic
relationship status is "it's complicated." Love comes in many forms, and
Valentine’s Day is a time to be reminded of that fact. Valentine's Day
is a holiday celebrated throughout the world in honour of St. Valentine,
who is believed to have brought love and happiness to humanity.
Throughout history, this day has been marked by special customs and
rituals designed to show love and appreciation for one another. If
you're looking for ideas on how to make Valentine's Day special for your
loved ones, then read on!
What about St Dwynwen’s Day?
We can’t forget about St Dwynwen’s Day, a very special day for many of
our wonderful Welsh customers! Celebrated on the 25th of January each
year, often referred to as the Welsh
St Valentine’s Day, it’s a day dedicated to all things love.
Dwynwen – one of King Brychan’s 24 daughters – was said to be very
unlucky in love and became a nun as a result of this. Since then, she
has been honoured as the Welsh patron saint of lovers.
How can my partner and I celebrate Valentine’s day?
Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate love. If you know how to celebrate
Valentine’s Day, you’ll know how to show your partner that he or she
means the world to you. It doesn’t matter if it’s your first year
together or your hundredth – you always need ways to keep the romance
alive and vibrant! We want to help you plan some creative Valentine’s
Day gifts for your boyfriend
or girlfriend.
Celebrate with words: If you want to show your spouse or significant
other how much they mean to you, write them a love letter. This can be
done on paper, by hand: using a computer or our personal favourite,
through a Valentine’s
Day card! Why not try one of our Pop-Up
Valentine’s Day cards, the ultimate romantic surprise for the
person who deserves something extraordinary. Whether you choose to write
your valentine messages in a card, a letter, or on a napkin, be sure to
tell them why you love them and what they mean to you in your life. Make
sure that all of the reasons are sincere and heartfelt because this is
one of those things that needs to come from the heart.
Send a
pop-up bouquet of flowers: If you want your present
to last a lifetime, or at least until next Valentine’s Day, why not try
one of our impressive Valentines bouquets
of paper flowers? This gift is perfect for any occasion and is a
thoughtful way to deliver Valentines flowers to their doorstep. Your
loved ones will be sure to smile as they watch the paper flowers bloom
from their vase.
Use our Quick Search tool: If it’s time you’re strapped for, why not try
our Quick
Search tool? Our customers love using the ‘Theme’ filter to find a
card their partner will love. Are you looking to send a card to your
cat-crazy partner? Why not check out this popular cat-themed
card.
Personalise
a gift: This option has quite literally got your partner’s name
written all over it! At Love Kate’s we believe there is something super
special about a
Personalised Valentine’s Gift. The option to add their name or
a thoughtful message will transform your gift into a keepsake that
they’ll treasure forever.
I’m single, can I still celebrate Valentine’s day?
Valentine's Day is a special day to celebrate love and affection.
Whether you are in a relationship or not, it is still a nice day to
spend with your loved ones. For those who are single, don't worry!
Valentine's Day is a special day for couples to celebrate their love,
but it can also be a fun day for
singles! There are plenty of ways to celebrate on a budget,
including going out with friends, cooking a special meal, or treating
yourself to a spa day. Why not get all of your girls together and
celebrate Galentine’s
Day?
If spending times with loved ones isn’t really up your alley – and let’s
face it, sometimes we don’t want or need much more than our cat curled
up at our feet – then why not stay in? Celebrating from the sofa with a
takeaway and some fluffy
socks sounds just as wonderful!
What is a secret admirer?
Secret admirers and love notes are a great way to express your feelings
for someone. You can send a note to anyone, not just your significant
other. If you want to express your appreciation to the person who sits
next to you at work or school, send them a sweet message letting them
know how much they mean to you! This could be the perfect opportunity to
send a
pop-up card and use our
personalised handwriting service, therefore ensuring your identity
is a mystery!
How can I celebrate Valentine’s day on a budget?
We know that it can be difficult to find ways to express your love and
affection when you’re strapped for cash, but don’t let that stop you
from trying! Remember, keep your eyes open, think about what your
partner loves and don’t forget to take advantage of our Love Kate’s
Valentines discount code. Save £5 when you spend £30 use the code
‘CUPID’ this Valentine’s Day.
You don't need to spend lots of money, just time, a touch of thought and
a little bit of romance! You can be creative and find new ways to show
your partner how much you care. Here are some romantic ideas for
Valentine’s Day that you can consider if your piggy bank is feeling
light:
Make a list: Make a list of things that both of you enjoy, and then pick
your favourite. If there’s something on the list that’s not an option,
don’t force it. Do what works best for both of you. This list doesn’t
have to be extravagant. Perhaps you could write down your favourite
films, your favourite places to visit locally, your favourite meals or
tipples, and simply plan your evening this way!
Take your food outside: Everyone loves food and a picnic can be a lovely
way to celebrate the holiday. Picnics are a great way to save money and
spend time together. You can get outside, enjoy fresh air and sunshine
while sharing a meal with the one you love. Don’t forget that it is
February, though! We suggest you wrap up warm before braving the cold.
We can’t wait to help you celebrate Valentine’s Day!

Valentine's Day, make sure to enjoy it! We hope this blog has given
