WHAT IS VALENTINE'S DAY?
It has been suggested that Valentine’s Day originated in Ancient Rome. During mid-February, a fertility festival was held called Lupercalia. Lupercalia was filled with fertility rites and lotteries pairing off men and women. At the end of the 5th century, Lupercalia was dissolved and replaced by St. Valentine’s Day. It’s believed that romance wasn’t incorporated until the 14th century. Personal messages and gifts were shared among lovers. Over time the holiday grew into the fantastic display of love and affection we know today.
It’s time to evolve the day once more. Why stop with just your significant other? Show your love and affection for all those people you hold dear to your heart. Let your friends, mum, dad, siblings, neighbours and work husbands and wives know you love and appreciate them. There are plenty of people who would adore a gift from you. Look for a Valentine hamper filled with indulgent treats you and your significant other can enjoy.
The last couple of years have been tiring and straining. With lockdowns and global crises, there has been a lot of stress and concerns. We have become recluses seeking familiar environments. You were getting to know people over private messages, catching up over Zoom. It’s now possible for us to meet up in person. Show your loved ones your appreciation.
This year will be different, and Cupid is here to help. Scatter rose petals, open champagne, draw an inviting bubble bath. The possibilities are endless. You still have time to come up with gift ideas, so make it something special. Valentine’s Day 2022 falls on a Monday, so you have all weekend to pamper and impress.
VALENTINE'S DAY 2022 IS GOING TO BE INCREDIBLE!
The last couple of years have been sad and depressing. Let’s change it this year. 2022 is going to be all about experiencing new things. Being in isolation and confined has closed us off from the rest of the world. Break free of that mentality and your affection. Valentine’s Day is here, and it’s time to celebrate and spread love. Make the day something to remember this year and bring a romantic flair to a fun and bubbly time.
Steal Cupids bow and create romance. With Valentine’s Day falling on a Monday, you can spend all weekend making memories and spending time together. Dim the lights, add some candles and create a stunning night in luxury.
Valentine’s Day has changed a lot since its origins. Rather than focusing on fertility, it’s all about celebrating love in all its forms, from platonic relationships to romantic ones. You can celebrate the day with all the people you love and hold dear. 2022 is all about doing things differently. We have thrown away all the old traditions and are making new ones. The past is in the past, and we are keeping it there.
Indulge in a worthwhile Valentine’s Day activity that is new and different. Show those you love and appreciate something they will cherish. Prepare a candlelit dinner with scrumptious foods. Go for a picnic in a beautiful park with an array of their favourite treats. Or share a morning together, enjoying comforting sweets and delightful beverages.
WHAT DO AUSTRALIANS DO FOR VALENTINE'S DAY?
Although Valentine’s Day isn’t a public holiday, Australians still celebrate it. Red is everywhere. Delicate roses, cheesy cards and indulgent chocolate are everywhere. We find the perfect gift for our significant others and create moments. Whether it’s a lavish gift, or something small and reserved, it can be the perfect gift if chosen with them in mind.
Australia’s Valentine’s Day is during summer. People usually celebrate in the late afternoon when it starts to cool off. The perfect Australian valentines night would begin with a dinner date, continue on to watch the sunset at the beach and finish the night with Hollywood’s new rom-com. And if you’re lucky, Cupid might even pay you a visit.
You could also celebrate during the day. Lay down a picnic blanket, pull out a stunning basket of goodies and relax together at a park or by a lake. You can add a romantic atmosphere to a lovely picnic or spend the day together relaxing at the beach. Relax and chill on a hot summers day.
Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to let those special people know you’re thinking of them. Create moments they will remember by gifting them a hamper they will love. It doesn’t just need to be for your significant others. Consider making the day magical for friends and family as well. All the people you hold near and dear deserve to feel special so think of them this Valentine’s season.
