Valentine's Day did not start out as the day when individuals expressed their love for one another. However, over the last few decades, it has evolved into the second-largest card-giving holiday of the year. Along with cards, this popular festival of love and romance is also synonymous with chocolates, fully booked restaurants, roses, and a lot of symbolic gifts.
But does a couple realy need a special day to prove their love? Personally, I am aware that valentin's day is all above a commercial day. Nevertheless, I can't imagine my boyfriend just forget to reserve me a little attention on that day! Or just saying "with us it's love each day"... Even if, of course, it is... BUT! I don't expect a gift, but maybe a card, and some candles... Something romantic on this romantic and commmercial day.
So I can say I am a victim of marketing techniques when it deals with my feelings... I know that and I consider myself to be enough clever not to mix that day with another personal occasion, I nerver do a big effort or never buy anaffordable gift for him. It's just a day I feel I couldn't consider as a normal day.
Thank you marketers ;)
