No matter what you make of Valentine’s Day – consumer-driven concept, a day to commemorate a Catholic saint or simply just another day – there’s no-one who can deny the simple fact that a Valentine’s Day gift is actually quite a nice surprise to receive.
The prospect that someone loves you so much that they manifest something you’ve had your eye, and heart, on? Stunning.
