Gift Idea - How to Make Valentines Last More Than One Day

Everyone loves something wrapped nicely in a box, on special occasions like Valentine, but could you give something more thoughtful this year? Last year, I was cash strapped and wanted to get a nice present for my boyfriend. I couldn’t deal with the typical valentine day oppression, where a lot of money would be spent to impress people, so I started looking for alternatives. However, It was difficult getting something in the Nigerian market that would match my budget and emotions.  After pondering for a few days I had my eureka moment!!! It dawned on me that I didn’t have to follow the herd and buy something I could not afford. I did not have to be bankrupt. Why?

I had found a gift that was quirky, expressive and affordable. Some of you are wondering what I could possibly be talking about. In two words, I found what is called a LOVE CHEQUE.

The couples believe that laying briefly in the coffin will get rid of bad luck and usher happiness into their lives.

Participants made offerings to the monks before taking their places side-by-side in the large pink coffin – floral bouquets held to their chests.

What I Know About Love and Valentine’s Day

Posted in: , , ,

by Yetty Williams

What I know about love and valentine’s day has evolved. As a young girl valentine’s day always seemed like something fun that lovers do. In my girlish fantasies I looked forward to celebrating it someday. Growing up though, neither the media or my parents really made valentine’s day such a big deal, unlike today where everywhere you turn, online or offline, you are reminded about Valentine’s day.

Fast-forward to Secondary school and it is welcome to the era of awareness of boys, love infatuation really and the seemingly accompanying valentine’s day. This season of love seemed to create a buzz with everyone either looking forward to it secretly or dreading it quietly. You were either “valing” someone or being “valed” – it become an action in the government schools then.

Some people think a traditional Valentine's Day is overrated; but they say that because here, it's all about red flowers and cards and teddy bears. Who needs flowers and date night at a restaurant when you could have pigs and wooden spoons?

Valentine’s Day is a day for love, and love comes in many forms – and different countries certainly have different approaches when it comes to celebrating the most romantic day of the year. Like the big traditional mass wedding celebration with 4,000 couples in The Philippines or the sympathy Easter Egg for secret admirers in Denmark.

In Japan, it's all about chocolate - 'Honmei Choco' is high quality chocolate given by women, to men who they have true feelings for. 'Cho-giri Choco', on the other hand, is pity chocolate. Find out more in the full infographic below...
