Every year, on Valentine's Day, couples and lovers around the world find ways to show their love for each other. They start by giving each other gifts such as flowers and chocolate, and then move on to more expensive gifts like jewelry.
Valentine's Day, as we celebrate it every year in modern times, first became popular in England in the 17th century. At that time, the Valentine's tradition was to write letters to express one's feelings for their loved one. By the 20th century, printing technology emerged and helped popularize this beautiful tradition worldwide.
