If you are looking for some ideas for Valentine’s Day, I’ve got you covered in this post!
Valentine’s Day, also called Saint Valentine’s Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine is celebrated annually on February 14. Originating as a Western Christian feast day honoring one or two early saints named Valentinus, Valentine’s Day is recognized as a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance and romantic love in many regions around the world, although it is not a public holiday in any country.
I actually put this post of Valentine’s Day ideas together back in 2012, when The Purple Pumpkin Blog was still very new, and I was a younger blogger that didn’t really know what she was doing quite yet!
However, I have had my moment’s over the years, and so I thought it best to collate them all here too!
Several of the ideas for Valentine’s Day that I’ve linked to in this post all those years ago still work, so I have kept those below. Of the links that don’t work, I’ve kept the images up, as they will still provide a source of inspiration. Thanks to the bloggers and websites that had awesome ideas that I was able to share. This was back in the day before Pinterest is what it is now, and when I didn’t know any other bloggers!
For the sweet treats – cookies, cakes, etc., that I’ve listed are either recipes for, or just inspiration on how to decorate said treat. There are some craft, and homemade gift ideas, as well as some random pics that I guess at the time would inspire a night of love!
