If you've been living here in the UAE your entire life, you already know we say Lovers Day instead of Valentine's Gift in this corner of the world.
But if you're new around the block, you're most likely wondering why we say Lover's Day and not Valentine's Day, right?
Just relax. You're not the only one with this thought.
So, stay with me as I unravel the story behind this popular date night.
And as a bonus, I'll drop some beautiful gifts for couples experiences you can gift your partner to make the day extra special, no matter what you call it.
Do I have your attention? Awesome!
The truth is, there really isn't any difference between Valentine's Day and Lover's Day.
February 14th is recognized across the world as a romantic holiday celebrating love and affection between partners.
The UAE simply refers to the occasion by a different name out of respect for cultural preferences in the region.
It's the same great concept of showing your significant other how much they mean to you - just with a locally inspired title. Yeah, that's just it.
The origins of Valentine's Day can be traced back to ancient Rome in the 3rd century CE.
The popular account points to an imprisoned Christian priest named Valentine, who continued performing banned marriages for young lovers in secret.
According to legend, he wrote a farewell love note to his jailor's daughter, signed "Your Valentine," before his execution on February 14th.
In the 5th century, as Christianity spread, the Roman Catholic Church wanted to Christianize the pagan celebration of Lupercalia, which occurred in mid-February.
They linked it to the legend of St. Valentine.
By the 14th century, Valentine's greetings were popular, with the oldest known Valentine poem written in 1415.
So, with time, exchanging gift cards, chocolates, flowers, and other gifts became a tradition.
Today, Valentine's Day is celebrated across cultures as a time to express love for romantic partners, friends, and family.
I'm sure you now understand why we choose to call it Lovers Day here in the UAE.
And how Lovers Day came about in the first place.
No matter what you call it, February 14th offers the perfect excuse to show your favorite person what they mean to you.
It's easy to take each other for granted in day-to-day life.
A day devoted to couples gives you permission to get sentimental. Rediscover your magic by planning creative dates or gifting once-in-a-lifetime shared experiences.
You get the opportunity to reignite the spark by reciting romantic poetry over dinner cruise or penning old-fashioned love letters.
Perhaps you could keep things light, teasing your partner with cheesy pickup lines and fun dares.
Or you could take your love life experience to a new adventure with the things I will share with you next.
