Valentine's Day 2022: this is our gift selection

One of the most important dates this month is 14 February, Valentine’s Day. In theory the most romantic day of the year, it is also one of the most commercial dates. For this reason, this event is nowadays referred to as a business plan to promote capitalism. However, it is also a good excuse to treat yourself or your loved ones. Here is a selection of the best gifts for Valentine’s Day 2022.

Valentine’s Day is celebrated every 14 February and, although its origins are unclear, it now has a very commercial side. Some date the holiday back to ancient Rome, to the celebration of the Lupercals, a fertility festival. Another theory goes back to a Roman event called Juno Februata, which consisted of drawing from a box the name of a woman who would become your eternal love. Another story is that of Valentine, a priest sentenced for secretly celebrating marriages of young lovers.

Although it is historically the international day of lovers, it is not celebrated on the same day in all countries, and even the details that are given vary. In Finland and Estonia this day is a tribute to friendship, in Denmark and Norway they give funny rhymes anonymously. In Germany they give pigs and in England they put five laurel leaves in the corners of the pillow. Although the most common gifts are flowers, chocolates or letters, we help you with this selection of the top brands for 2022.
