Hallmark and Cupid

Historical Fact: Valentine’s Day is celebrated in remembrance of Saint Valentine. He was beheaded on February 14th. Totally romantic isn’t it.

People either hate it or love it. But whether or not it’s a Hallmark holiday, Valentine’s Day is certainly one of their most important times of the year for Hallmark, Godiva, Jared’s and the endless other companies who target lovers.

The advertising is usually the same. Boy gives girl flowers. Boy gives girl chocolates. Boy gives girl diamond ring and a kiss. But why not consider having the girl give the boy something. Or, even better, how about having the girl being the one to “ignore” Valentine’s Day.
