Valentine’s Day 2024: From Date Night Outfits to Cute Gift Ideas

January 25, 2024

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Whether you’re celebrating with your significant other or with your girlfriends, it can be fun to dress up a little or at least wear something with pink or hearts on it. I personally love pink, glitter and hearts all year long. I have some outfit ideas and gift ideas for Valentine’s Day 2024, but I think we need to first take a look at the history of this “holiday”.

Valentine’s Day, a celebration of love and affection, has a rich history that dates back to ancient Rome. Believe it or not, this day of chocolates and heart-shaped cards started as a Roman festival called Lupercalia, celebrated in mid-February as a way to welcome spring. The festival involved pairings of women and men through a lottery system, but it wasn’t until the late 5th century that Pope Gelasius I replaced Lupercalia with St. Valentine’s Day. And the romantic connotations? Well, those evolved over time, especially during the Middle Ages when the notion of courtly love flourished. By the 18th century, gift-giving and handwritten notes had become common, and the industrial revolution in the 19th century only fanned the flames with factory-made cards. So next time you give or receive a Valentine’s gift, remember that you’re participating in a tradition that spans centuries!

Personalized and sentimental jewelry is my favorit Personalized and sentimental jewelry is my favorite because of the meaning behind it. This necklace from @haverhill checks all the boxes and then some! It’s meant to be passed down between generations.

It’s all handcrafted with solid 14K gold and gemstones. Everything is ethically sourced and sustainably made right here in the USA.

 I chose a necklace with 2 initials with 2 gemstones (mine and my husband’s initials). I love that I can wear it without worrying about it tarnishing because of the high quality materials that it’s made with. I almost never take it off.

Be sure to visit their website (haverhill.com) if you’re looking for meaningful jewelry items for yourself or someone you love.
