We understand that and completely understand you. But let's try to look at Valentine's Day with a more mature lens.
Valentine - a word originally evoking the name of a man who secretly marries couples in love under the cover of night in the light of candles. A just, mysterious saint with a sense of true love, he takes risks and, under the threat of death, marries couples whose love society has condemned.
Perhaps even this historical core of the holiday evokes that it should be about something very deep, a holiday of love, sacrifice, courage. But what is Saint Valentine's Day for you? Stressed out from thinking of a new gift a month after Christmas? Trying to prepare a romantic gesture for your partner? Or a day full of sadness about being "single" this Valentine's Day? There's no reason to stress, let alone be sad.
Although this holiday has already been reborn into a new, more commercial outfit, it still remains the same deep down. Valentine's Day no longer demands great sacrifices of love, it wants to "just" celebrate love. It doesn't require stress or heroic actions, we are at an advantage on this holiday... A little thing is enough - a manifestation of love.
At the same time, it is not only for lovers, it is for everyone to whom the word love suggests something - for lovers of good food, plant growers, for people who love their pets.
So we already have the essentials, but what little things can we add? What to be inspired by the very name of the holiday? A heartfelt gift, maybe even a handwritten valentine, is enough.
A trifle that hides a piece of the heart.
We also bring you a few such valentines in our e-shop. Do not hesitate to take a look, maybe you will choose one after all.
