Tis this season to think about love. I wonder how many men will propose or do something special for the women in their lives.

Valentines has never been a big deal in our home. Over the years, I would get a little special treat for my man and kiddos. And if possible, we’d make a yummy dinner if sports or school didn’t interfere.

Some people go all out though. My sister tends to be a bit more creative on this day than me but it is what is. We can’t master them all right?

In searching for gift ideas, I came across some trivia.

 

Did you know?

 

Next week, over a billion dollars will be spent on greeting cards alone, not including chocolate and roses.

Cupid is going to be busy!

The Italian city that was the setting of Romeo and Juliet receives around 1,000 valentines addressed to Juliet each year. Can you name the city?

Statistically, a woman who purchases flowers on Valentine’s Day is most likely buying them for herself.

Besides his patronage of couples, love and happy marriages, St. Valentine is also charged with ensuring the sweetness of honey and the protection of beekeepers.

Enough that, let’s get to the gift ideas I found.
