Valentine’s Day is a popular holiday among many countries around the world. The first time the holiday was associated with love is in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the Middle Ages when courtly love was very popular. In the 18^th century England was involved in the occasion in which lovers presented each other flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards. In modern days, Valentine’s Day is still celebrated very similarly in the United States. Every year 141 million Valentine’s Day cards are exchanged, with over 50% of those being purchased only 6 days before Valentine’s Day.  This shows that the holiday is full of procrastinators. Over half of the U.S. population celebrates Valentine’s Day in some way. Also, it is a tradition to get heart shaped boxes of chocolates. The first heart shaped box of chocolates was made in 1868. On average, men spend about $130 on candies, dates, and flowers, which is half of what women commit to spending. Also, about eight billion candy hearts are produced, and over 50 million roses are given worldwide. Women also have a good chance at getting a date for Valentine’s Day, because for every 119 single men, there are 100 single women the same age. Valentine’s day is the perfect day to celebrate with your significant other and show your love for each other with gifts.
