It’s just a few days away now… I’m beginning to wonder if this year’s Valentine’s stories will be more romantic than usual?
It is a leap year after all, which traditionally allows women to propose to their men on the 29th February. (And don’t forget, if the man refuses he is obliged to buy the woman a new pair of gloves or a silk dress!)
But the gentleman might just be waiting for the 1st May where ancient practice dictates he should leave a hawthorn branch at his sweetheart’s door. (Ladies please note that if you don’t want to marry the man you must replace the branch with a cauliflower…)
At least we are not forced to adopt Italian culture where an over confidence in men’s ability to sing results in many young suitors publically serenading their intended brides. Though the Welshmen among us will have to give up their singing in preference for carving a wooden love-spoon for their amor.
The Valentine's Chocoholic Hamper
However you choose to celebrate Valentine’s day for goodness sake don’t forget about it!
To help you out GoodnessDirect have put together a Chocoholic’s Valentine’s Hamper to send to a loved one.
What better way to spoil that someone special than with a hamper full of chocolates delivered straight to their door (or workplace)?
The GoodnessDirect hamper service allows you to put whatever you want in your hamper. But the ready-made Valentine’s Chocoholic Hamper is specifically designed as a perfect mix of luxuriously lovely gifts.
The hamper can also include a dictated message in a Valentine’s card for the recipient (written in beautiful handwriting of course).
(Just, please, don’t force us to write “To my dearest Fluffykin”)
Whatever you do, make sure you take the opportunity to spread a little love around.
