Breakfast in Bed Ideas for Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is commonly known as a day for lovers, to celebrate and rejoice in the love we share with our parents, partners and also friends. However, over the years, the trend has been leaning towards more commercialization.
In almost every country that recognizes Valentine’s Day will increase the prices of flowers, chocolates and jewelries and restaurants will start to introduce set dinners with exorbitant rates.
What happened to the romance in simplicity?
