READ ABOUT 2 FASCINATING
VALENTINE'S DAY FACTS THAT WILL
PROBABLY SURPRISE YOU
1. The tradition of giving Valentine's Day flowers dates back to the 17th century.

Giving red roses may be an obvious romantic gesture today, but it wasn't until the late 17th
century that giving flowers became a popular custom. In fact, the practice can be traced back to
when King Charles II of Sweden learned the "language of flowers" — which pairs different flowers
with specific meanings — on a trip to Persia, and subsequently introduced the tradition to Europe.
The act of giving flowers then became a popular trend during the Victorian Era — including on
Valentine's Day — with red roses symbolizing deep love.

2. Americans also spend millions of dollars on gifts for their pets.

Hey, furry friends need love, too! In fact, around 27.6 million American households gave
Valentine's Day presents to their pet dogs in 2020, and more than 17.1 million picked up gifts for
their cats. All in all, American households spent an estimated $751.3 million on gifts for their pets
on Valentine’s Day.
