The long-awaited Valentine's Day is finally here.
To many, it is a day packed with romance, surprises and gifts for lovers across the world.
Every February 14, many exchange flowers, gifts and to some, poems to the people they love, all in the name of St Valentine.
There is no wrong way to celebrate Valentine’s Day, but gifting someone flowers should definitely not miss on your list.
Other love gestures include booking tickets for a night out or a movie, play or concert.
Whatever you choose, be sure to dress up and take a picture together at some point in the night.
