Many people want to give their sweetheart the latest and greatest technology for Valentine’s Day, but not all tech gifts are great for the romantic holiday.

It’s here – the day when we celebrate those we love with flowers, greeting cards and chocolates.

And so with those people who experience a sudden shock by hearing news of a death in the family, or by being jolted by a surprise, or any event that suddenly jacks up the catecholamine (hormones like adrenalin that are produced following stress) level in the body to 30 times higher than normal.

Many people across the world are probably doing last minute preparations to celebrate Valentine’s Day with their special ones on February 14.

Whether you’ve been together for a long time or the both of you have spent a lot of Valentine’s Day together that you have lost count or you both just started dating, whatever gift you choose to give, be it big or small can show her that your heart’s totally in it. Remind yourself of your awesomeness. “This may sound insane but I think she will end up laughing and eventually be happy”, says Vivin Joshua, a college-goer. While most Americans will shower their loved-ones with candy this year, spending a total of $1.8 billion, NRF states most US consumers will spend their money on jewelry for their loved ones – $4.7 million to be exact. February 14 is not meant for lovers only, but for people like you and me too, who sit in their cozy offices and apartments and want to make jokes on the alleged couples in our respective groups. Make sure you book your table before!

Seek to be the best you for you. Gifting these to your love would be a wonderful gesture to convey your feelings to that special man in your life. There are plenty of activities you could try, such as acroyoga, wrestling, dancing or bouldering – basically, anything that satisfies your inner child. So get your winter boots and toque on, and take a walk through a park you have never been to, or stroll through a new neighbourhood. Getting a gift or receiving flowers from anyone, including yourself, will make you feel good, loved and all things attractive.

Valentine’s Day comes once a year, but it is important to let your loved ones know that you love them every single day.

Mahika Sharma: I think we all say that every day we celebrate love. More than a quarter (30%) of Valentine’s day purchased are made in advance, with 48.8 million transactions took place globally on 11th February, over three years. Or even call them up out of the blue to ask them about their day. They share the importance of the day in their lives.

Thank you for letting me love you and for loving me in return. Going to Acme to buy some mint chocolate chip ice cream meant being exposed to hundreds of Teddy bears and dozens of different flower arrangements. Eat those oreos. You deserve to treat yourself for being the awesome, respectable human that you are. You can get a good one from 7,500 Naira and above. Invite your friends over for a movie night complete with chocolate and ice cream.
