The Hilarious History of Valentine’s Day (and How to Spice It Up!) The Hilarious History of Valentine’s Day (and How to Spice It Up!)

Ah, Valentine’s Day! That one day a year when you either go all out for your partner or pretend you forgot to buy a card because you’re “just not that into commercialism.” But have you ever wondered how this lovey-dovey holiday came to be? Grab your favorite snack (chocolate, obviously), and let’s dive into the quirky history of Valentine’s Day!

A Trip Down Memory Lane

Valentine’s Day dates back to ancient Rome, where folks celebrated Lupercalia—basically, a wild party where men would run around whipping women with goat hides (don’t ask). It was all about fertility and matchmaking, which sounds like the ancient version of a really awkward speed dating event. Fast forward to the 14th century, when Geoffrey Chaucer decided to throw in a poem linking February 14th to bird mating. Yep, you heard that right—birds! So, if you’ve ever thought Valentine’s Day was a bit “bird-brained,” you’re not wrong.

By the 15th century, people were sending love notes, which we now know as Valentine’s cards. And here we are today, showering our partners with overpriced chocolates and roses that will probably die by the end of the week. Romantic, right?

Spice Things Up This Valentine’s Day!

Now that you’re armed with some fun facts, let’s talk about how to make this Valentine’s Day a little hotter (and a lot more fun). Forget the usual boring dinner; it’s time to bring out the toys! Here are some of the best couples toys to turn up the heat:
