Did you know:
Today, millions of greeting cards are purchased every year.
144 million greeting cards are exchanged every year for Valentine's Day in the U.S. alone, according to Hallmark.
Wearing your heart on your sleeve is more than just a phrase.
In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names to see who their Valentine would be. They would wear the name pinned to their sleeve for one week so that everyone would know their supposed true feelings.
Roses are the flowers of love.
Speaking of cupid and his roses, can you guess the favorite flower of Venus, the Roman goddess? The red rose, of course. The flower stands for strong romantic feelings, so it's no surprise that roses make up the most popular Valentine's Day bouquets.
It's not just for humans.
People really do love their pets. Spending on Valentine's Day gifts for pets has also grown significantly, going from $450 million in 2010 to more than $1.7 billion.
...and for a special Valentine's treat, I will do a romantic live stream on YouTube so come find me on Saturday morning the 13th at esljack.stream
