Let’s start with a little trivia: Also known as Saint Valentine’s Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, the day is celebrated as a tribute to the roman priest St Valentine or Valentinus. Though it is not a public holiday in any country, but the day is celebrated across the globe where people express their feelings towards their loved ones.
Here’s a complete list of all these days and how you can make these a memorable affair.
1) Rose Day
The week is starts from celebrating as Rose Day. Needless to say, people gift roses to their loved ones as a token of love. But before gifting one, make sure that you know what the roses signify according to the colors. For instance, red roses stand for love and yellow ones are meant for friends. Choose the roses carefully depending on what message you want to convey.
2) Propose Day
The second day of the Valentine’s week is celebrated as Propose Day. Like the name suggests, this is the day meant for proposals. What could be a better day to express your feelings to your crush than the Propose Day? Even if you are in a relationship, you can still propose your partner and retake your vows on this special day.
3) Chocolate Day
If there is anything sweeter than love, it can be none other than chocolates! No wonder, Valentine’s Week would have been incomplete without dedicating a day to chocolate. And the best thing about chocolates is that you can get these in different flavors and shapes. If your partner does not have a sweet tooth, you can gift him or her dark chocolates (more the amount of cocoa, the better it would be). For the ones who are hopelessly romantic and their meal is never complete without a dessert, gift them a box of heart shaped milk chocolates.
4) Teddy Day
What’s so special about teddy bears that we have a special day designated to this fluffy and lovable soft toy?

A teddy bear is perhaps the first love of many girls – a constant companion during her bad days or the soft pillow to hold onto as she slowly drifts off to sleep. Indeed, this adorable toy rightly deserves a day to celebrate the festival of love.
