The big question is to celebrate or not to celebrate? Or is commercialism overtaking yet another day in the calendar of our lives. St. Valentines day however, celebrates love and love is everything. I believe love should be celebrated where ever you find it. Not just romantic love either, how about the love for our pets, brotherly love and of course partnership love where we celebrate the special loves and lovers who are part of our lives?

What is Galantines Day?
Galantines is an evolution of Valentines Day, It is when we celebrate the love and friendship of all the women in our lives. I love this idea, it is very easy to take female friendships for granted. So a chance to celebrate them is a win win, and a great excuse for an afternoon tea. Take a look at these sublime beauty gift ideas, I for one would appreciate any of these (hint, hint if you are reading this darling!) M&S as ever have some wonderful floral gifts but I also fancy this pair of pyjamas too!

Why do we give chocolates On Valentine’s day?
The Valentine’s Day tradition of giving a box of chocolates was started in the 19th century by Richard Cadbury. A scion of a British chocolate manufacturing family. With new techniques recently established at the company to create more varieties of chocolate, Cadbury pounced on the opportunity to sell the chocolates as part of the beloved holiday. Talk about commercialisation eh?
