Valentines Day Gift Ideas

The famous Shakespearean quote, “Sweets to the sweet” is one that often accompanies boxes of chocolates or other candies given to women by the men who love them on Valentine’s Day. On Valentine’s Day this year it is expected that there will be more than $1,590,000 spent on heart shaped boxes of candy. There will likely be more than 36 million boxes of candy sold. Candy is ranked only number two on the list of Valentine’s Day gifts…just behind roses.

  So how is it that giving candy as a Valentine gift became a tradition? It is rather hard to say but commercial candy making developed during the early nineteenth century with the advancement of automation and the discovery of sugar beet juice.

  The human craving for sweets can probably be attributed to the first caveman who robbed a bee hive. Humans love sweets of all kinds but they especially love chocolate. The rest of the world loves chocolate but Americans REALLY love chocolate. As a matter of fact the very first commercial chocolate factory was built in New England twenty years before the American Independence was declared and the American Revolutionary War was fought. Americans love chocolate and they will consume more than 3 BILLION pounds of it this year.  

  Chocolate will be the number one selling candy this Valentine’s season. Coming in second are those little pastel colored hearts that are inscribed with love messages. These little hearts are called “conversation hearts” and have such inscriptions as “Luv U” or “Go Away” printed on them.

  Yes, “Sweets to the sweet” is what makes the gift of candy such a wonderful and thoughtful Valentine’s Day gift!

Most of us know the Valentine’s Day as the day for lovers. We think about it as the perfect day that is set aside each year for men and women to tell their significant others that they are loved. We picture Champaign toasts, intimate dinners for two, romantic vacations, and, of course, the exchange of gifts like red roses, jewelry, candy or chocolate.

St. Valentine’s Day really is a traditional day for lovers but love comes in many sizes, shapes and forms. We love our mates or our partners but we also love our parents, our grandparents, our children, and others who have had great influence in our lives. St. Valentine’s Day provides us with an opportunity to tell these other people that we love them and that we appreciate them.

By all means, send the love of your life a dozen red roses, a box of exotic chocolates, a bottle of vintage Champaign and plan a wonderful intimate evening but don’t forget to acknowledge others that you also love.

In both brick and mortar shops and online shops you will find Valentine’s Day gifts specifically for all of those people in your life that you love. You can find keepsake gifts for parents and grandparents. You can find Valentine’s Day gifts just for kids. There are gifts for teachers, sportsmen and animal lovers. Finding Valentine’s Day gifts is the easy part. Choosing is the hard part!
