👍 In Italy, where according to one of the legends Valentine's Day originates, it is customary to give sweets, cookies and chocolates in the shape of a heart. Roses, perfume and diamonds are also popular. Another common gift is "Baci Perugina" - small hazelnuts covered with chocolate. Each candy contains a note with a love statement in four languages of the world.

👍The inhabitants of England congratulate not only their beloved people, but also their beloved pets - dogs, horses. Popular gifts for February 14 in the UK are sweets in the form of hearts, soft toys, especially Teddy bears, and, of course, the same valentine cards.

👍 In Holland, February 14 is not considered shameful if a woman herself approaches a man and politely asks him to marry her. If this gesture is not appreciated, the man should present the lady with a dress, preferably silk.

👍 In Israel, Love Day is celebrated at the end of summer. A girl can offer her hand and heart to a man she likes. And on February 14, young people do not consider it superfluous to say “I love” to each other and do romantic things.

👍 In Jamaica, massive "naked weddings" are held on this day: celebrations are held on numerous beaches and without clothes...

👍 In Japan, there is a custom: a large platform is built in a park or square, from which young people and girls shout out declarations of love. Moreover, it is not the beauty of the recognition itself that is evaluated, but its loudness. Gifts here are presented mainly to men, and not only to "their" beloved man, but also to colleagues, relatives, and acquaintances.

👍 It is customary to celebrate Valentine's Day in the USA and Canada on a wide scale. In America, Valentine's Day began to be celebrated later than in Europe, since 1777. At the beginning of the last century, Americans on Valentine's Day began to send their brides sweet marzipans, which then cost a fortune. Such a gesture was considered almost a marriage proposal. In the USA, they congratulate not only those with whom they are in a romantic relationship, but also everyone who is simply loved - mothers, fathers, grandparents, friends. The main gift, of course, is something sweet.
