So who was St. Valentine anyway?

Brittanica says that he came from Italy and there are various stories about him including the legend that he apparently signed a love letter "from your Valentine" giving rise to the practice of sending anonymous Valentines Cards. Along with being the patron saint of love, he is also the patron saint of epiletics and beekeepers! Bet you didn't know that! We certainly didn't.

So whether you're looking for your perfect person or if you're perfectly happy just as you are, our stores have tons of ideas to help you celebrate love on 14th February.

So first the card (or cards!") ....
