Date and Gift Ideas for Your Valentine's Date
January 31, 2022
It’s almost that time of the year for Love Month. Every year, couples, families, and friends look forward to February when the Day of Hearts happens. People buy gifts in advance and book dates ahead to make sure that their loved ones feel the most loved to come to Valentines’ Day.
Ever wondered why the holiday is celebrated every February 14? What’s so special about that day and why couldn’t it be another date on the calendar? According to History.com, it happens in the middle of February to pay tribute to the death or burial anniversary of Valentine. There are others who believe in a different story. They believe that it’s an attempt of the Catholic Church to Christianize a pagan festival called Lupercalia. This is a fertility festival celebrated every February 15. It’s for the Roman god of agriculture Faunus, and Roman founders Romulus and Remus. Goats will be sacrificed for fertility while dogs are for purification. The remains will be dipped in blood and slapped on women—a ritual that women allowed because they believe it will make them more fertile in the year ahead. The women will place their names in an urn and the bachelors of the town or the city would choose a name. More often than not, these pairings lead to marriages. This was outlawed and towards the end of the 5th century, Pope Gelasius announced that February 14 will be for Valentine's Day.
We can’t tell for sure if it’s celebrated on that day to Christianize the pagan fertility festival but what we’re certain about now is that every February 14, we make our loved ones special through giving gifts and planning dates.
If all restaurants are already booked, you may use the garage as a date venue. It’s an open space that can be pretty intimate when transformed. One, you have to declutter so make sure to take out all the items in the garage and pile them in someplace secure for the meantime. Decide what to do with the items, whether it’s for throwaway, selling, or keeping. Back at the garage, do some thorough cleaning from ceiling to bottom before deciding what smart storage solutions you will put into place. FlexiMounts has the best products to keep items off the floor where you could set up your intimate date. Below are two storage options:
