Valentine’s Day is that one special day when love and
romance reign supreme. Now, romantics around the world may be wondering, when exactly
is Valentine’s Day 2021? The answer is Sunday, February 14th! Each
year (hint: it always falls on the 14th day of February) we express
the love we have for family, friends, and significant others by exchanging
gifts and cards. But have you ever wondered why we give gifts on Valentine’s
Day?
Well, to answer that question you have go all the way
back to the 14th century and the work of poet extraordinaire
Geoffrey Chaucer. Credited with linking Valentine’s Day to romance, Chaucer’s
poetry inspired young men to write their own poems of love and adoration to
their sweethearts. Over the years the handwritten poems turned into greeting
cards and gifts were later added. Valentine’s Day gifts can range from sweet
and heartfelt little mementos, to extravagant acts of courtship. When you’re

So now you know why we give gifts for Valentine’s Day, but
have you ever wondered: what is the origin of Cupid, the famous Valentine’s Day
icon? You may, or may not, be surprised to learn that Cupid is the god of
attraction and desire in Roman and Greek (Eros) mythology. His name is actually
derived from the Latin Cupido, meaning desire. It is said that when he shoots
you with his magical golden arrow, you are filled with uncontrollable desire. These
arrows are paired with a torch “because love wounds and inflames the heart”. You can show your little one how much you love them with some cute Cupid's arrow gifts! Dress them up in this great onesie or t-shirt to show them some love this Valentine's Day. Cupid, having been associated with love since antiquity, has appeared in works
of art by history’s most famous artists and literature written by iconic
scribes from Hesiod to Shakespeare. All in all, Cupid stands as one of the
longest lasting symbols of love in the Western world. This is why each
