As a die-hard romantic, I've always loved Valentines Day. I think it's all very well saying "you shouldn't need a specific day to show someone how much you care etc", but the reality is, in today's crazy world people do forget to show their loved ones how much they care and appreciate them.

I used to buy Valentines day cards for my parents too as they did for me- just a reminder how much we love each other. A couple of years ago I hand-made cards for all my closest friends and drove round to their house to deliver it along with a rose each. It's nice to make an effort and make someone feel special.

Saying that, it also depends what kinda person you're in a relationship with and whether they buy into the idea of Valentines Day or not...
