Valentine’s Day Fun Facts You Don’t Know

We are most probably familiar with some basic traditions and history facts but is there anything more to the holiday? There definitely is and you’re about to discover Valentine’s Day from a new perspective.

Chocolate

  • In the 19th century doctors advised their patients with broken heart to eat chocolate in order to sooth the pain from the lost love. To this day, many women find comfort in a box of chocolates when dealing with heartbreak.
  • Casanova, well known as “The World’s Greatest Lover,” ate chocolate to make him virile.
  • There’s no secret that chocolate and Valentine’s Day go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly. Richard Cadbury from the Cadbury chocolates company is responsible for popularizing Valentine’s Day chocolates. It was him who first presented his beloved one chocolates in a heart-shaped box.
  • Now over 35 million heart-shaped boxes of chocolate are sold every year on Valentine’s Day.
  • In U.S alone people spend over $1 billion worth of chocolate for Valentine’s Day.

Flowers

  • The most popular Valentine’s Day flower is a single red rose surrounded with baby’s breath.
  • A red rose is considered the flower of love because of their color that stands for strong romantic feelings.
  • Red roses were favorite flowers of Venus, the Roman goddess of love.
  • Over 189 million stems of roses are sold in the U.S. on Valentine’s Day.
  • While California produces over 60% of American roses, the most flowers sold on Valentine’s Day in the U.S. are imported from South America.

Valentine’s Day Cards

  • About 85% of all Valentine’s Day cards are bought by women.
  • Over half of all cards are purchased less than a week prior to the holiday, making Valentine’s Day a procrastinator’s delight.
  • Teachers will receive the most Valentine’s Day cards, followed by kids, mothers, wives, sweethearts and pets.

Random Facts

  • Many believe the X symbol became synonymous with the kiss in medieval times. People who couldn’t write their names signed in front of a witness with an X. The X was then kissed to show their sincerity.
  • About 3% of pet owners will be spending over $700 million on Valentine’s gifts for their pets.
  • 220,000 is the average number of wedding proposals made on Valentine’s Day each year.

Birthday Gift Basket to Albuquerque, USA

Every year I sent my Mum in Albuquerque NM a Gift Basket for her birthday and Christmas, this year was no different, however due to an error at the warehouse at GiftBasketsOverseas the Christmas delivery which was to be delivered on the 22 Dec 2015 did not happen, I spoke with my mum on the 25th Dec, only to find out it had not been delivered. I called GiftBasketsOverseas and spoke with a number of people in customer service about the issue, under normal circumstances you might not go back to that company, HOWEVER, they immediately admitted their mistake and assured me they would call me back, they did call me back (in Australia) and followed up with emails keeping me informed of their investigations and what they were going to do about it. They arranged for the delivery (while a few days late), but my Mum understood, they called her to explain the situation and even sent her an extra gift. They emailed me today (5th Jan 2016) to tell me it had been delivered. What impressed me was how quick they responded (no excuses as to who’s fault was), to me this Customer Service at its best, so many companies could learn from the team at GiftBasketsOverseas – few names to mention (Annette, Maria, Miriam). Thank you, I will continue to use their service, while mistakes sometimes happen (and they do in every company) its all about how you respond to your customers and treat them, and the team at GBO sure know how to do that – “love your work”.

Thanks!
