35 Pics That Might Prove How Wholesome Valentine’s Day Can Be

As you for sure know, on February 14th the world celebrates Valentine’s Day. Well, "celebrate" might not be the best word here, as some people tend to reject this day. 

Some, especially single folks, do it because they don’t like love-related stuff being pushed in their faces, as it makes them feel lonely. Or maybe they’re in an unfulfilling relationship and all the picture-perfect images of love around them make it even more apparent. 

Others might be in good relationships, but they don’t like the sentiment of someone ordering them to show affection on a specific date when it should be done all year round. 

The fact that the occasion is saturated with consumerism, from greeting cards, candies, teddy bears and anything else, is vexing for some too. 

While some reject Valentine’s Day by complaining about it online, making statements about how they’re not going to celebrate it and such, there are also those who take this dismissal to another level. 

For example, in South Korea, every April 14th, there’s an unofficial holiday called “Black Day” (or 블랙데이 in Korean). This day is an intentional contrast to Valentine’s Day, as during it, people celebrate being unmarried or simply unattached to someone romantically. 

Yet, others argue that people shouldn’t be so quick to reject Valentine’s Day. They say that it doesn’t have to revolve around only romantic love; it can be about the platonic type too, whether it’s friends or family. 

After all, platonic love is no less important than the romantic kind. Some think it can be even more important. For some folks, their friends are a source of unconditional love – they’re like your siblings or simply people who accept you for who you are and still stay by your side – something that all romantic relationships have. 

So, whether you decide to spend this day with your significant other, your friends, or your family, you do you – it’s a day to celebrate love! 

That’s where today’s list comes into play. In it, you’ll find plenty of Valentine’s Day-related things, from funny greeting cards to interesting decorations and cute gifts. All of these images were shared by people online in communities like r/ValentinesDay or r/Valentines_Day_Gifts. 

That means that it’s a treasure chest of ideas for Valentine’s presents, tested and approved by actual people. The list could be useful for those who struggle to come up with what gifts they want to give, want to see how creative others can be, or simply want to get into the Valentine’s Day mood. 

And while we understand that some believe that celebrating such a relatively silly holiday isn’t for them, we also believe that celebrating any given occasion is worth it, as it not only brings you closer to others but also improves your personal well-being. Basically, sometimes we have to remind (or even force) ourselves to not be allergic to fun, don’t we?
