Valentine’s week is a chance for those who want to express their emotions to the ones they love. With the approaching year-end, we look forward to the week of love with ultimate excitement. An ideal valentine’s day is filled with cupids, hearts, flowers, and romance all around. However, if you are someone who is not exactly expressive or confused about how you can make Valentine’s week striking, here are some ideas for you.
Valentine Week Begins on Rose Day – 7 February 2023
The beginning of Valentine’s week begins on February 7 with Rose day. As the name suggests, the day demands the exchange of roses. Anciently, it is believed that the Victorians began this culture of exchanging roses to express implicit emotions. The day is an ideal one to confess your feelings to your crush, girlfriend/ boyfriend, or husband/ wife. Here’s our idea to celebrate the occasion.
- The best way is to give away the roses with some delicacies. You can start your day by preparing a morning breakfast and presenting a rose alongside.
- Send them a bouquet while they are at work to uplift their mood in between a hectic day.
- Write down what that rose wants to communicate with a card to make it extra memorable.
- Give out some chocolates, cupcakes, or donuts.
As a matter of fact, your valentine flowers don’t always have to be roses. In fact, you can make a change with lilies, orchids, tulips, or anything you like. However, the thing to take care of is which rose to give as per your relation. You can start by giving dark shades of roses to the one you love or admire, while the light color roses symbolize joy and loyalty.

Besides, even all marriages are based on vows you take.
As said, there are no gifts involved here. You just have to make sure to speak out the words straight from your heart. Also, make sure to stick to them forever.
- You can always write down your promises in a card or letter. A handwritten letter goes a long way and there’s nothing more touching than that piece of paper.
- Give something that marks the depth of your promise, like a magnet pendant or bracelet. They are a way of saying, “we are incomplete without each other.”
On a different note, promises are not meant for romantic partners only. You can boost the essence of the day by making promises to your friends, parents, and siblings. However, one thing remains the same i.e; to keep every single word you say.

Celebrate Pre Valentine Day with Kiss Day on 13 February 2023
The last day of Valentine’s week is kiss day which is celebrated on February 14. Just like hugs, kisses are a token of affection that we often forget to use in our daily lives. A kiss is a gesture saying that you love and care for someone more than you can explain. Let’s approve, we love when someone gives us random unexpected kisses, don’t we? The romance is at its highest at this time of the year. And what’s romance if there’s no kiss involved?
- In our opinion, the best kiss happens under the light of stars. These little diamonds in the sky turn anything magical with zero effort. If it’s your first kiss, try to make it special effortlessly.
- Anyway, planned kisses are not the best. The soft spontaneous pecks are what make it memorable. Try kissing on the cheek while you are hanging out!
There are several types of kisses and each of them depicts different emotions. A kiss on the hand shows respect, a kiss on the forehead means care, and a kiss on the neck is flirtation. Besides, the kisses on the cheek and lips signify friendship and love, respectively. Remember, the more affectionate kiss, the more intense love.
