We borrowed the nice tradition of presenting cute symbolic gifts or weighty expensive gifts on Valentine’s Day from something close to our hearts in Western culture. Without being carried away by the “excavation” of the roots of the tradition, they received another charming occasion to remind relatives and beloved ones of their boundless devotion and deep feeling. Moreover, in the Russian interpretation, devotion and love are expressed not only to those who are supposed to receive congratulations on February 14, but also to their beloved girlfriends, adored children, caring parents and even benevolent colleagues …
There are no hard limits on the choice of gifts appropriate for Valentine’s Day. Only fantasy and money can become a limiter. True, on a wonderful Valentine’s Day, gifts for a guy will certainly differ from options suitable for congratulating a charming woman. However, there are also characteristic common features: it is predominantly red and pink in color and a shape that resembles an ardent heart. But there is absolutely nothing and no one obliges to adhere to these trends.
If you nevertheless adhere to the dictate of tradition, expressive compositions in the shape of a heart, created from fresh flowers, are ideal. An adorable flower cake with your favorite name is an alternative. That is, with the name of the one to whom it will be presented. A wonderful floral nocturne will delight both sexes, although a bottle of vintage wine or “hearty” pastries, to which a man’s bouquet can be attached, will produce a greater effect on a stronger half. By combining two gifts, you can tell about your feelings, and show yourself as an excellent hostess.
