    Valentine's Day is best known for heart shaped cards and poetry but is best known for its association with Saint Valentine.

    231

    However, there are several martyred saints from Rome who were named Saint Valentine and there is little history connecting any of them to a mid-February passage of love.

    232

    While there are no formal associations that connect the idea of Valentine's Day to a specific group, the holiday is celebrated on February 14th.

    233

    There are many common gifts that couples (or even friends) give one another on Valentine's Day.

    234

    235

    If you're in a couple, Valentine's Day can be one of the best days of the year.

    236

    For many people, when they hear the phrase Valentine's Day, they think of candlelight dinners and fancy restaurants.

    244

    Sweet Nothings - Valentine's Day can be great time of intimate connection for you and your lover - or it can be, as intended, a "hallmark holiday," a time for cheesy hearts and candies and more.

    245

    There's really nothing wrong with that - the "personalized Valentine's Day gifts" you made for your friends in grade school were still meaningful, they simply had a different, fun meaning.

    246

    Making your special someone a construction-paper and glitter-glue Valentine is certainly personal, and certainly a fun gift - as long as it is given and accepted in the same spirit.

    247

    Chocolate and personalization are great themes for Valentine's Day.

    248

    For many, the most important Valentine's gift to give, or maybe even the only one they give period, is one to their spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend.

    254

    To determine your gift idea, it's helpful to know your plans for Valentine's Day and also consider the stage of your relationship.

    264

    265

    The best Valentine's gifts are from the heart, but sometimes even that takes a little probing when you're new to a relationship or you've just been together for so long you're all tapped out of good ideas.

    266

    Though some couples love giving silly gifts to make each other laugh no matter how long they've been together, cute and funny Valentine's gifts come in handy when you're not sure where you stand in a relationship.

    267

    If you're hoping for the best, but not sure where your relationship will be by Valentine's Day next year, don't worry-you don't have to sign up for a whole year of gifts.

    268

    If you've been together long enough to be sure of your standing as a couple but you're not in the phase where you're not sure if you should even exchange Valentine's gifts, you could go the sentimental and sweet route.

    269

    No matter which stage of the relationship you're in at the moment, the best Valentine's gifts are the ones that are personal.

    270

    While Valentine's Day is the ultimate romantic holiday, several precautions must be taken when planning a Valentine's Day proposal to avoid cliché or predictable events that lack the spontaneity and individuality of your relationship.

    271

    Before you decide to pop the question, consider whether or not Valentine's Day is even the right time for your marriage proposal.

    272

    On the other hand, if intimacy and romance is tantamount in your relationship and you never fail to celebrate Valentine's Day in a special way, a creative marriage proposal can make the day even more significant.

    273

    If that happens to coincide with Valentine's Day, so much the better, but rushing or delaying a marriage proposal in order to utilize a holiday can taint the intentions behind the question.

    274

    In addition to classic romantic proposals, there are several options for Valentine's Day proposals that coordinate well with the spirit of the holiday and bring even more romance to a breathtaking event.

    275

    Many couples exchange gifts on Valentine's Day.

    276

    Romantic, candlelit dinners are a staple event on Valentine's Day, and many upscale restaurants are happy to assist with marriage proposals by arranging private music or presenting the ring with a particular course, such as dessert.

    277

    Flowers, particularly red and pink roses, are one of the most popular Valentine's Day gifts.

    278

    Particularly for younger women, Valentine's Day would not be complete without chocolates.

    279

    Diamond necklaces make delightful gifts for any occasion, but they are particularly popular for Valentine's Day, birthdays, and anniversaries.

    280

    Proposing on Valentine's Day may initially seem to be a wonderfully romantic gesture, but in reality it can backfire if the couple is not ready for the commitment or if the proposal is not staged properly.

    281

    Valentine's Day has long been associated with love and romance.

    282

    If a couple wants to be more unique, however, there are many ways to propose on Valentine's Day without being predictable.

    283

    There are many ways to keep a Valentine's Day proposal unique while still preserving the nostalgic romance of the day.

    284

    By making a Valentine's Day proposal unique, you not only begin a new phase of your relationship together, but you set yourselves apart as a unique couple rather than following the crowd.

    285

    At the same time, it is important to recognize that Valentine's Day proposals are not for everyone, no matter how unique they may be.

    286

    If the moment is not right for the relationship or the couple, a Valentine's Day proposal should be avoided.

    287

    Valentine's Day is not the only holiday suitable for beginning a life together.

    Exchanging Valentine's promise rings can be a wonderful way for a couple to commit to one another when they aren't quite ready to get engaged but they want to show their devotion in a strongly symbolic way.

    294

    At the same time, however, a couple must be very careful that a promise ring exchanged on Valentine's Day is not mistaken for an engagement ring.

    295

    Valentine's Day proposals are very popular, and it is estimated that as many as one-tenth of couples get engaged on this romantic holiday.

    296

    That can make exchanging promise rings on Valentine's Day particularly tricky, because a romantic promise could easily be misinterpreted as a marriage proposal.

    297

    There are many different styles of beautiful promise rings that are perfect for a Valentine's Day promise commitment.

    298

    There are many ways to give Valentine's promise rings without mistaking the promise for a proposal.

    299

    Tie the ring to a cute teddy bear, add it to a heart-shaped box of chocolates, place it in a rose-shaped ring jewelry box, or enclose it in a children's Valentine's Day card.

    300

    Don't be afraid to be creative with your promise on Valentine's Day, but always be honest.

    301

    Valentine's promise rings are sweet and romantic, but they can also be challenging to give without it seeming like a marriage proposal.

    302

    With some care and consideration, however, a couple can promise their love and support to one another on Valentine's Day without immediately planning a walk down a very long aisle.

    303
