In the late 17th century a chronicler of the English Court Samuel Pepis made a note that on 14th February the beloved ones could exchange souvenirs: gloves, rings, sweets… In the beginning of the past century, with starting caramel production, Americans began to scratch on bonbons relevant words. Caramels were made red-white: the red color symbolized passion, white - purity of love. In the 50's people began to put bonbons into cardboard boxes in a shape of heart…
Since then it became a tradition to make a present in a shape of heart (cakes, bonbons, biscuits, chocolate) for the St. Valentine's Day. Besides, flowers and small greeting cards, also in a shape of heart, are also necessary for the holiday. The present itself depends on the level of your knowing and loving/liking each other… Usually the present is expected to symbolize your feelings to a person.
But, on the other hand, you should go beyond the present… Let the all day be special! Gift a happy holiday to your beloved!
