Valentine’s day is today! Whether you have someone to celebrate it with or not, I always find it interesting to know the back story when it comes to holidays. Traditionally this day was celebrated as the feast day of Saint Valentine. It was a celebration of love and affection. 

Valentine’s day was first recorded in the 8^th century, but it wasn’t until the 18^th century that it became a day for couples to celebrate their love for one another. There are many symbols for Valentine’s Day. However, the heart is the most commonly used symbol. 

With Valentine’s Day being celebrated every year on the 14^th, it makes a huge impact on sales of different, typical gifts – like candy, cards, and even flowers. In 2017, over $18.2 billion was spent on Valentine’s Day gifts alone. It also turns out, that over 58 million pounds of chocolate are sold the week prior to Valentine’s Day.

We know there are many options for presents! But if you’re still trying to find that perfect one, come to Arcola Feed. I’m sure we can find the perfect gift for your valentine.
