Valentine’s Day: it’s the thought that counts

Valentine’s Day is the one day of the year that couples around the world publicly celebrate their love for each other. Some find it to be the most romantic day of the year, though sometimes for all the wrong reasons.

Some men spend weeks trying to think of the perfect gift, and some women sit around for hours thinking about what they might be getting this year. The sad truth is that our world has come to a point where the holiday is extremely commercialized, making people feel like they have to buy this or that to make their significant other happy.

However, many don’t realize Valentine’s Day isn’t just about the gifts. The true meaning of the holiday is to show someone how much you truly care about them, and at the end of the day, the flowers, chocolate, and cards are not of much importance.

Many are happy at just the thought of spending the day with their significant other. In most cases, you don’t even have to spend any money to make them happy. In fact, homemade gifts are something that come from the heart, and are something that your significant other would really enjoy receiving.

If you are truly in love with someone, the only thing that should  matter is that you get to spend the holiday with them. In the end, it’s not the amount of money that we spend on a gift, but the amount of thought that we put into it that means the most.
