Valentines has been around for a long time, and has seen a lot of changes. The cupid figure who graces our cards and chocolate boxes is actually the Roman god of love! It is believed that the current Valentines Day that we celebrate comes down from the medieval English writer Chaucer and his inner circle: a big part of the courtly love that he wrote about in his poetry involved men lavishing gifts upon the object of their desire. Now we share Valentines Cards, heart shaped boxes of candy, and flowers with our friends, family and classmates, not just our true love!
So take a look at some of these great Valentines Day gifts and gift ideas for all the different people on your list and make Valentines Day 2010 a day those close to you will never forget!
