It is almost that time of the year again when people come together to celebrate love. This day is traditionally celebrated with expressions of love for one another through the presentation of so many things, ranging from gifts to eating out and hanging out with special ones. However these are not the only trends associated with this day because the list is endless.
Dressing in red: Red has been described as the colour of love. Therefore on this day, it is not uncommon to see a lot of ‘couples’ and singles dressed in that colour or at least, with a touch of it in their dressing which could manifest in the shoes, bags, belts, tops (ladies) and ties, shirts (men). It has gradually become a trend.
Eating out: On this day most people prefer ‘eating out’ or as they would say, ‘hanging out’ with their loved ones. While it is not entirely wrong to do so on this day, it has become a custom for some that they must eat out that day, especially among ladies.
Giving a box of chocolates: A tradition that was known to take place only in Western lands, seems to be ‘finding its feet’ locally. Who would have thought that this would become a trend too?
Flowers: This is accompanied with the box of chocolates. Sometimes, little notes are attached to the flowers to express the depth of love a guy feels for his lady. Another trend? YES!
Teddy bear: This list would be incomplete without the mention of a teddy bear. Even if a guy cannot afford taking his babe out or buy chocolates or flowers/cards for her, only a teddy bear with ‘I Love You’ written on a heart shape, would do the trick.
