CJ gift card for Valentine's Day
According to Wikipedia, Valentine's Day... is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). It's fun to know that Valentine's Day is celebrated all over the world.
In regions of the UK, a character called 'Jack' Valentine knocks on the rear door of houses leaving sweets and presents for children.
In France and Spain Valentine's Day is known as "Saint Valentin" and "San Valentín" respectively while in Portugal it is more commonly referred to as "Dia dos Namorados" (Lover's Day / Day of those that are in love with each other).
In Denmark and Norway, Valentine's Day is known as Valentinsdag respectively while it's called Alla hjärtans dag ("All Hearts' Day") in Sweden. It's also known as "Hearts Day" ("Araw ng mga Puso") in the Philippines. In other countries the meaning of Valentine's Day translates into "Friend's day", "Affection Day" or "Day of Love and Friendship".
In Slovenia, a proverb says that "St Valentine brings the keys of roots", so on February 14, plants and flowers start to grow. Valentine's Day has been celebrated as the day when the first work in the vineyards and in the fields commences. In Lithuania and Latvia, it is common for people to put stickers on faces and clothing of a friend or a relative.
In Pittsburgh, in case you didn't know... we celebrate Valentine's Day by buying our loved ones gift cards from Construction Junction. We're just saying... You can buy them in the store or over the phone with your credit card. Call 412-243-5025 ext 32.
