Valentine’s Day is a special holiday in our family and not only because it is the most romantic holiday of the year. It’s a double holiday for us because my husband’s name is…Valentine.

You might be surprised but pets also like holidays and for pet owners it’s very important to make their furry friends happy. Most stores from Target to Home Goods and specialized stores like PetSmart offer a variety of treats and toys for pets to celebrate the most romantic holiday of the year.

There is a lot of hype around Valentine's Day. Some say that it is all commerce and you should treat each other nicely every day of the year. Others love celebrating it. It is possible to find something positive, whatever camp you might belong to, right? Hype is involved in every holiday, so why only a day of lovers gets punished?

Valentine’s Day is one of the most romantic holidays of the year, but these days, it’s one of the most expensive as well. We can’t deny the fact that men are under pressure to showcase their love with gifts that would impress. I do believe that Valentine’s Day is a marketing holiday created to make people spend much money.

We feel that Valentine's Day is very much skewed towards women and frankly, a bit cheesy, so what do you do when you want to give your men something that wouldn't be so every day and boring?

Dogs are awesome companions every day of our lives - they change us in some way, shape, or form; they give us kisses, love us unconditionally, and allow us to be a part of their animal lives. Our pets don't care about the calendar and the holidays, but we certainly do, and with Valentine's Day fast approaching

Valentine's Day will be here before we know it, so it's never too early to think about gifts for all the special someones in our life, including kids. Yes, they need some loving too, not only your husbands and boyfriends, because after all, who are the sweetest love bugs of all?

Valentine's Day is a perfect time for students to thank their teachers for all they do for them and all the positive impact they have, because they do a lot of both on a daily basis.

You don't even have to shop for someone else to get great deals before, on, or after February 14th. You can splurge on yourself just as good, if you are single. Sales are plentiful on everything from candy to gift baskets, fashion, beauty, and tech items.

Not every Valentine's Day dinner has to be fancy and expensive. There are so many affordable options that can appeal to so many of us who don't want to follow the hype and go all out on February 14th just because so many people are making a huge fuss about it. It's pretty easy to find great Valentine's Day freebies and deals wherever you live.
