Why do we celebrate Valentine’s Day?

The question on the mind of many every February: what makes Valentine’s Day so special? Well, we’ve done some digging for you and it turns out that the origins of Valentine’s Day trace back to ancient Rome, where a mid-February festival known as Lupercalia celebrated fertility and the coming of spring. Years later, the holiday then became linked to St. Valentine, who - according to legend - defied bans on marriages by secretly performing weddings for young couples. Talk about a true romantic hero! Over time, the day evolved into a celebration of romantic love, where poets such as Chaucer began to connect Valentine’s Day with courtly romance.

Fast forward to today, Valentine’s Day is a global love fest marked by exchanging cards, flowers, and - our personal favourite – sharing chocolates, to show love and affection. It’s not just for couples - it’s also a time to celebrate all kinds of love, from your cherished bond with your best friend to your favourite colleague you can’t bear to be without for a day, making it a cherished day for many.

Valentine’s Day and Chocolate: What’s the connection?

Valentine’s Day without chocolate is like a love letter without words - it just doesn’t feel complete! But how did chocolate earn its rightful place as Cupid’s co-star? It all started in the 19th century when Richard Cadbury had a sweet idea: packaging chocolates in pretty, heart-themed boxes made exclusively for Valentine’s Day.

From there, chocolate became the ultimate gift for expressing love. Its wonderful, creamy taste and sentimental feel make it the perfect way to say, “I adore you”. Plus, let’s face it - who doesn’t smile at the sight of chocolate? Very few people, we imagine!

Nowadays, gifting chocolate on Valentine’s Day is more than just a tradition; it’s a love language all its own. Whether you go for decadent truffles, creamy hot chocolate delights, or opt for something daringly different, there’s no better way to sweeten someone’s day. So, go ahead and spread the love - one delicious bite or sip at a time!
