Valentine’s Day Gift Guide

What is Valentine’s Day?

Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14th, in honour of Saint Valentine. The tradition started in ancient Rome in the early Middle Ages and has been celebrated ever since. It began as an opportunity to express your love and affection for your sweetheart but with the addition of Galentine's Day, it has become an occasion to show affection to friends too.

What is Galentine’s Day?

Galentine's Day, which originated in America, is a celebration of empowering women and supporting one another. Girl groups meet up and go out for brunch or dinner, purchasing each other gifts or taking part in fun activities. This holiday is becoming increasingly popular, especially in America where it originated from.
