Love it or hate it, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.
The history of Valentine’s Day is somewhat shrouded in mystery but we believe it is named after a Christian martyr and dates back to the 5th century, with origins in the Roman holiday, Lupercalia.
Regarded by some as a commercial exploitation exercise and an excuse to spend money, 14th February is the traditional day of love around the world.
While it is love that counts, we have come up with a few ideas to make sure the person you love, really knows it.
