Tradition of celebrating Valentine’s Day came to us not so long ago. But already many of us celebrate this gentle and passionate holiday. And each time we have the same problem: how to make your gift original?

Each country has its own traditions of Valentine’s Day celebration. Things that are traditionally popular during this day: Valentine’s Day cards, gifts-surprises and fun games with erotic motifs.

Valentine’s cards

Valentine’s cards are romantic declarations of love. I emphasize - romantic! Therefore, they are written, and, as a rule, in poetic form. And if in normal, everyday lives sublime style is not appropriate, precisely this style is used for Valentine’s Day cards. When choosing or composing your own (what is more valuable) card, do not be afraid to seem naive, touching, too blatant.

Well, in fact, when should we talk stilted, if not on this holiday? Exclaim, admire, make compliments! Create happy moments of love for each other. After all, no sense gives a person so much strength and hope, like love, even if it is not mutual yet.

I, for example, have my personal collection of Valentine’s Day cards. Not from cards that are sold everywhere, and not from fertile Internet. In my collection I have only confessions me and my friends wrote. If it is useful to someone, I’ll be pleased.

I send you my Valentine,
With heart on the picture.
It tells about everything I am silent of
And all I want to say.
Unravel the mystery of my confession
In this special holiday,
Weaved of inspiration
And love declarations.

“Love” - I whisper through the distance.
“Yours” - my eyes say.
I’m looking forward to response of declaration.
Come - and I’ll open you my heart.
.
My love flies for you silently,
Invisible, mysterious and passionate.
Even God himself cannot rule it,
And I, moreover, have no power over it.
Look, it knocks on the window,
With frost, the sun and February blizzard.
Open! And all wonderful will happen!
And we will give each other happiness.

You are the whole heat of my hot love,
You are my dreams, hopes and inspirations.
We would flame out with you brighter.
And without you I will burn up until spring.

How dare I talk about love?
How not to be afraid to open?
How to tell you are the dearest for me.
Without you I live my day in sorrow,
Without you the sun is foul weather for me,
And only with you my happiness is possible.

Ah, St. Valentine, patron of lovers!
He knows the secret of hearts, endeavored to love.
He knows what we concealed for a long time,
And hurried to forget, but could not forget.
But today he welcomes love,
He sanctifies it with purity.
I send my love through Valentine card
And bless for return feeling.

Gifts-surprises

Thanks to the Internet you can easily find out which gifts are recommended for Valentine’s Day. For example, British people present “love spoons”. Americans send their loved ones candies. Italians, in general, call this holiday sweet and give all sorts of sweets. French people traditionally buy jewelry. Danes prepare cards from dried white flowers for this day. All gifts are traditionally decorated with symbols of Valentine’s Day, each of which has a subtext: heart ( “You Are in My Heart”), red rose ( “you excite passion in me”), lace ( “my feeling to you is filled with romance”), gloves and a ring ( “I wish to go hand in hand with you in marriage), doves and Cupid (” our love is sanctified by heaven “).

Searches for a gift are always painful. In fact, you wish to please and surprise. Especially in this day. Still, choosing a gift, do not forget that not a gift itself is precious, but attention you give. Therefore, it seems to me that the focus should be moved to unusual, unexpected gift.

These could be such pleasant surprises:
1. Arrange a romantic trip for this day
2. Visit some exotic place, where you have never been together yet.
3. Send a gift by mail or courier
4. Order a theatrical presentation for your beloved
5. Create and make a silly joke
6. Put love notes in various places: in pockets, on a wind screen, computer monitor.
7. Order your partner’s favorite songs on the radio.
8. Order a caricature on your beloved.
9. Make your own comic magazine devoted to your love.
10. Cook a dish according to original delicate recipe.

Your imagination and knowledge of your lover’s tastes will help you coming up with the best idea for surprise. In Valentine’s Day everyone is waiting for miracles subconsciously! Become a magician for your beloved on this day!

Funny games with erotic motifs

Cross the river
Men and women form couples. The task is simple - a partner should bear a woman through the river. But the way of transfer should not be repeated. The most ingenious couple wins.

Love songs
An old children’s game. Only in the light of the holiday, it is necessary to divide into 2 teams - male and female. Sing songs in turns (literally, in couplets) with words, cognate to the word “love.” The team with more songs wins.

Guess whose leg
This game is good for married couples. Men are blindfolded and offered to touch their wife’s leg to guess, women - husband’s hand. Leg is allowed to feel the knee, his hand - just the brush. The game is good in all respects. As a variant of the same game: women show a leg to the knee in black tights, men are offered to guess women’s legs.

Tasters
For the game you can use the most common brands of wines, which players know in advance. Wine is poured in glasses. Again teams - men and women - are competing. With closed eyes one should identify names of wines, using their taste and aroma.

Rolling mandarin
The most spicy game! But the coolest one! Forget complexes and play in it - you will not regret! Teams - Men’s and Women’s. Реквизит – мандарины. Props - mandarines. All are divided into pairs. First, women should roll mandarin from one leg of men’s trousers to another, then men should roll it from one sleeve of women’s clothing to another. Couples change, until all visit each other in pairs. The winner is, of course, the fastest team. The game is remarkable not only for close friends, it also causes indescribable joy even on a corporate party.

Valentine’s Day reminds us of how cool it is to be in love. This is an amazing state. It inspires and makes any person omnipotent. All men and women seek to experience love. Appeal of this wonderful feeling was described by Voltaire very accurately: “Love is the most powerful of all passions, because it simultaneously seizes head, heart and body.”

Fall in love! Be happy in love! And do not forget to give “happiest moments of love” to your beloved!
