I didnt know cats could knuckle bump..... My daughter has two kitties, elliot and ridderhoff, named after 2 christian missionaries who were murdered in the field.
If you’re here, you’re likely aware of what Valentine’s day is, how it came to be and why chocolate sales skyrocket right around this time… wait, you don’t know why folks go nuts with chocolate?
Apparently, it was a business move by British chocolate manufacturing family scion Richard Cadbury in light of new techniques to craft chocolates.

Heck, the iconic heart-shaped candies—Sweethearts—were originally lozenges, a form of medicine for sore throat. Pharmacist and inventor Oliver Chase created the machine that could punch out these pills really quickly before he had another million-dollar idea and switched to using the machine’s potential to craft candy.

According to the OP, this is indeed an entire litter of kittens that they just couldn't separate. They also have their mother.

My Boyfriend's Favorite Animal Is The Three-Toed Sloth. So I Made Us Tiny Sloths In Tiny Bed. Do I Win For The Cheesiest Valentine's Day Gift?
And since we’re on the topic of fun facts, ever wondered how the X became a sign for a kiss?
Well, back in the olden days, X used to represent Christianity, i.e. the cross. It was also used as a signoff on documents. And people would often kiss it as a sign of their oath. The gesture slowly but surely grew to include book, letter and paperwork certification, being referred to as being “sealed with a kiss”.

He obviously knows you very well. He should be proud of the time and care taken to make this gift just for you.
Lama 1 year ago (edited)
I'd rather have someone tell me they love me -because of- all the things they appreciate about me, instead of -despite- the thing they don't like. I also suffer from depression and anxiety, but if someone tells me they love me because I'm also funny/sweet/smart/creative/whatever compliment they wanna give me, that would make me feel better about myself! This would sound to me like "you're a burden, but I can still take it". -- Anyway, still sweet, obviously a lot of effort, so well done.

And humans aren’t the only ones celebrating Valentine’s Day… well, OK, they are, but they also drag pets into it, so, by analogy, it’s not just humans. Back in early 2020, it was estimated that folks have spent $1.7 billion on Valentine's gifts for their pets. Back then, it was estimated that a single individual could pay up to $196 for their Valentines. Yes, that includes animal companions.

Year 2 Of Making Sure Most Of My Neighbors Get A Bouquet For Valentine's Day
I have tried doing this for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and Father's Day the past few years to lift the spirits of my neighbors. It is probably a tradition I will keep trying to do going forward.
All bouquets were obtained from Walmart where each cost around $4.57 each so while it sort of hit the bank hard I am just not going to eat out the next 2 weeks instead. If it is something that you can do too it is worth it to see everyone's reaction!

Besides candy, the next most gifted thing are flowers. Over 50 million roses are given on average on Valentine’s Day worldwide. Mother’s Day is the other celebration for flowers.
And it’s also important to pick the appropriate color for the flower, as each color has its own symbolism, like red is for passion and love, and white is for purity.

Fun fact. Dogs don't wag their tail to inanimate objects. (source: a book I read on animal psychology that tbh was pretty old so the fact mightve been disproven :/)

I did not know that. Now I want to be an inanimate object. I adore my dog but I sometimes wish he would stop wagging his tail at me so that I could stop telling him what a clever boy he is and get on with some work!

Oh, and the dude who invented the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell, filed his patent for the invention on Valentine’s day too.

Valentine's is about love, nothing else, nothing dirty or sordid. If you're finding these things creepy, maybe try not sexualising kids and see it for the pure and innocent "love" that it is
Load More Replies...Now, if you’re still wondering what to do for Valentine’s day, the listicle you’re currently browsing should be a great source of inspiration.
But if you feel like you want to get them a meaningful and practical gift, focus on something that could involve both of you. If it’s an experience, go to a concert, dinner or take them somewhere that only you two know for a picnic.

If you do insist on getting a gift instead of an experience, again get something you both can enjoy. If a tandem bike might be a bit of an overkill (high risk, high reward?) then get a board game. Or get all of the subscriptions to streaming services for one month and binge everything. How’s that for a month-long Valentine’s Day?

I am a 30-year-old female, married, but my husband and I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day, never have. Today at work (I work at a gas station), a customer bought the bouquet and handed it to me before leaving.

For other kids to put valentines cards in; buy them in great packs. May have candy, or stickers, cheap jewelry. When you’re young, you’re influenced to give one to everyone. I usually got 4 or 5 only by 4th grade, with my group of friends and I and exchanged.
