Spread the love with Valentine’s Day gift hampers by Kandida

It is said that Valentine’s Day got its name from Saint Valentine. The story about him is that he was a priest in Rome who was martyred because he was caught secretly arranging marriages even though the Emperor didn’t want male youth to get married as he felt that unmarried men were better soldiers.

Valentine’s Day gradually became famous all around the world, including Goa, many years ago. This occasion is loved here which can be seen by the various events that pop up all over Goa. The night brings amazing music dished out by live bands and DJ’s in different happening restaurants and clubs.  Special dinners and dances are held in many places, especially hotels. Different companies and shopping destinations give out special offers, products, and discounts.

In Goa, gift-giving is an old tradition for this day.  The florist from Florance Flora, Panjim, said, “Usually people would buy single roses, but this year I’m getting calls for rose plants. I feel the gift scenario is changing in Goa.”   Other gifts usually given in Goa are teddy bears, chocolates, and cards.
