A little Valentine's History and Gift Suggestions


The British Library in London displays a love poem that is considered to be the oldest and earliest record of a Valentine which was written in 1415.While he was imprisoned in the Tower of London, Charles, Duke of Orleans, wrote a poem to his beloved, Bonne d'Armagnac. The first two lines of his poem were: "Je suis deja d'amour tanné / Ma tres dolce Valentine..." Valentine's Day sentiments became known as "poetical or amorous addresses."


Here are a couple of our favorite Valentines Day items:
