A few ideas might be .... A picture of you two in a nice frame, his favorite band CD, his favorite movie, (if he doesn't already have it) or make him a nice dinner. (You could also take him to dinner if you can't cook that well)

What can i get my 13 year old boyfriend for valentine's day?

Asked by Wiki User

A guy generally doesnt want a phsyical gift from his girlfriend, nor should he. I find valentines to be a time for a guy to appreciate his girl by showing her what she means to him. Girls are a precious thing to a guy, and his only concern should be to make you happy. I find generally too that guys find it mushy to receive a gift from a girl on Valentines. All you can do is thank him, and give him a kiss in return. That should be more than enough for him.

Where did Valentine's Day originate?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Valentine was a priest who worked in Rome during the rule of Emperor Claudius II. The emperor made a rule that soldiers couldn't get married, as he thought this made them weaker warriors.

Valentine disagreed with this and would perform secret weddings for couples. He was caught and sentenced to death. Before he died he wrote a letter an unknown woman who he himself had strong feeling for. The letter was signed "from your Valentine." He is said to have died on February 14th.

The church later made him a saint for upholding the divine right of marriage and made him the patron saint of lovers and made February 14th St. Valentine's Day.

  • No such record of a Valentine was known before the Middle Ages, possibly until Chaucer, 14th century CE, or even a religious "history" published in nearly 1500CE; a bit late to be the first mention of something that happened supposedly 1200 years earlier (it was really handed on by word of mouth for that long?).
  • There is no good reason given for naming the person and day a saint and saint's day; as the pope at the time said, his name is known to be worthy, but his acts are known only to God - the only facts they had about the person were his name and date of death, which happened to be February 14, and did not even know the reason for his martyrdom, if he even was martyred.
  • The year of this apparent martyrdom is sometimes given as a time outside the reign of the emperor involved, which does not make sense at all if they are talking about the same person.
  • He was made a saint in 496CE, and various reasons - including the standard purpose for saints' days in early Christianity, to replace a nonChristian holiday or celebration - have been given, but none have any evidence besides hearsay to support them, even from those who created the day. It appears they simply chose to create the holiday for the sake of it.

One story is on the 14th of February in about 270AD, a Christian Pope called St Valentine was beheaded by orders of Pagan King Claudius II for marrying Christians. Helping Christians was illegal. St Valentines day celebrates love in reconnection of his sacrifice. This is just one of many stories though.
It is about love love each other don't be mean to people love your family and your friends especially your boyfriend or girlfriend.

Why is Valentine's Day all about love?

Asked by Wiki User

The earliest celebration of St. Valentine was probably the Roman Catholic Church's attempt to Christianize the February 13-15 pagan celebration of fertility called Lupercalia. The modern American revival of Valentine's day was the work of a greeting card manufacturer, so Valentine's day is "for" selling cards: it now ranks #2 of days with most cards given.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well as an experienced married men. Here is my advice; What about buying a piece of jewelry, almost all women love jewelry even though they don't confess. This is going to be my 3rd year that we will be celebrating Valentine's Day with my wife. I have always wanted to give unique gifts to her. But since this year is the year for saving I wanted to give something affordable as well as special. I have found this "designer jewelry website by Aya Azrielant" with moderate prices. You should check it out.

Should I buy a valentines day gift for my ex?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes you should, it shows her you still like her as a great friend! She will be happy that you still like her.

Don't think so, unless you guys are really good friends or just friends. Or if you still like her, then go for it, but if you guys don't really talk, or just say hi to each other then NO. Because that person would/will think you still like her. But if you do like her, then take the chance buy her something, and even ask her out again. Or just tell her your happy because you guys are still friends.

Nothing says 'Thank You for dumping me' like a gift that she will ridicule you with infront of her friends.

Asked by Wiki User

I think that Valentines Day is getting a little over commercialized. It used to be about dates and spending a day with your spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend. But now its about just buyng the nicest present that are on commercials like a Tiffany ring or Lindtt Choclates.
