As you know Valentine’s day is traditionally a day in which Love is celebrated, lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, cards etc to their partners or person they love from afar. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have largely given way to mass-produced greeting cards, and the flowers and chocolates have been replaced by more expensive gifts making the meaning of Valentines Day more of a money making scheme than an act of affection. Approximately one million Valentines cards are sent worldwide each year which makes this day the second card sending day of the year, behind Christmas.
