It’s a time for couples to get creative, friends to share their affection, and everyone to appreciate the people they care about in their own way.
Let’s explore the full lineup of Valentine’s Week celebrations, starting with Rose Day on February 7th and ending with Valentine’s Day on February 14th! Here’s everything you need to know to make the most of this love-filled week.
Valentine’s Day historyWhile the concept of Valentine's Week is fairly new,
Valentine's Day history traces its origins to ancient Rome. Valentine's Day celebration was initially linked to the mid-February festival Lupercalia, a celebration of fertility and love. In the 3rd century AD, Saint Valentine, a priest, was executed for secretly marrying couples in love against Emperor Claudius II’s orders. Legend says he sent a note signed “From your Valentine” before his death, inspiring the romantic tradition.
By the Middle Ages, February 14 became associated with courtly love, thanks to poets like Geoffrey Chaucer. The tradition of exchanging love letters and tokens grew, especially in England and France. By the 19th century, mass-produced Valentine’s cards became popular and it has remained so even today.
Rose Day – 7th February
Valentine’s Week starts with Rose Day, and what better way to begin than with flowers! Roses are a timeless symbol of love, but each colour has its own meaning. Red roses stand for love, yellow for friendship, pink for admiration, and white for purity. So, choose your rose carefully and share the love. A rose, or even a whole bouquet, is a beautiful way to show someone they’re special. To make it even more personal, add a sweet message that shows just how much they mean to you!
Propose Day – 8th February
Propose Day is for those ready to make their feelings official. It's the perfect time to take your relationship to the next level—whether that means asking the big question or simply letting someone know you're ready for something deeper. Even if you're not planning to get on one knee, it’s a great day to share your feelings openly. And if you're feeling nervous, consider writing a heartfelt letter or creating a sweet video to express yourself. You never know, this could be the beginning of something truly special!
Chocolate Day – 9th February
If you have a sweet tooth, then Chocolate Day is the perfect day for you. Whether you’re sharing a box of gourmet truffles with your partner, surprising your friends with a chocolate bar, or simply treating yourself to your favourite candy, this day is all about indulging in the sweeter side of life.
Teddy day – 10th February
Teddy Day is hands down one of the most adorable days of the week. Whether you’re in a relationship or single, this day is about gifting someone (or yourself) a soft, snuggly companion. A teddy bear symbolises comfort and care. It’s a simple gesture that can brighten anyone’s day—even if it’s just for yourself, to show a little self-love!
Promise Day – 11th February
Promise Day focuses on commitment. It’s not just about saying "I promise"—it’s about showing you’re ready to follow through and be there for the people who matter most. Whether you're promising to spend more time together, be more patient, or just show more love, this day is a chance to strengthen your connections. It's a meaningful way to express how much you value someone and to reaffirm the promises that hold the most significance in your relationships.
Hug Day – 12th February
Hug Day is a day to spread warmth and positivity through simple, heartfelt hugs. Whether it's a big bear hug, a quick side hug, or even a virtual one if you're far apart, hugs have the power to reduce stress, boost happiness, and strengthen connections. It’s a simple gesture that can make a big difference in someone's day. So, hug your partner, friends, family, or anyone who could use a little extra love. And don’t forget to hug yourself too—self-love matters just as much!
Kiss Day – 13th February

A sweet message, a surprise, or just being present with the people you love can make Valentine’s Day unforgettable.
Valentine’s Week is more than just a string of romantic gestures—it’s a chance to show love to everyone around you, from your significant other to your friends and family.

Valentine’s Week isn’t just about gifts or grand declarations; it’s a perfect time to reflect on the importance of love in all forms.

Whether it’s a heartfelt gesture, a simple act of kindness, or just taking the time to appreciate the people around you, Valentine’s Week encourages us to slow down and savor those connections. Let this week be a celebration of gratitude for the love we share and the joy it brings.
