Few holidays are as polarizing as Valentine’s Day: singles dread it, couples love it (or fight about it), and many oppose the holiday on principle, claiming that the overcommercialized day is nothing but the product of capitalist conspiracy. Personally, I’m a Valentine’s Day fan. Due to the holiday’s inconvenient date (directly between Luke’s and my birthdays), we rarely celebrate ourselves, but the romantic in me can’t help but feel pure heart emoji for a day that centers around love. The pink hearts, frilly decor, and an excuse to visit my local Hallmark store all contribute to my Valentine’s enthusiasm. In honor of the upcoming day of love, here are some fun Valentine’s finds that have caught my attention.
