Great Britain In Great Britain on the eve of St. Valentine's Day, women used to pin four bay leaves to the corner of their pillow and then eat boiled eggs with salt. They believed they would dream of their future husbands. Another custom was to write the names of eligible young men on pieces of paper and stick them to balls of clay. They would then drop them into water and watch and wait. The first name to rise would, they believed, be their future husband. These days it is more customary to send your secret love an unsigned greetings card, in the hope that he or she will know who sent it and send a card in return.

United States of America Most people in the United States treat Valentine's Day as an opportunity to express their feelings towards their loved one or to offer the hand of friendship to others. However, a popular trend these days is to send an 'anti-Valentine' card. These cards either contain an insulting message (to your enemy) or say goodbye (to your existing partner). If you receive a card with the message C-Ya! (See you!), it means your boyfriend or girlfriend wants to end your relationship.

Germany Young German men present their loved ones with a beautiful bouquet of flowers on Valentine's Day, along with a message of love. They must remember, though, to give an odd number (1,3,5 etc.) and not an even number, otherwise it could bring them bad luck.

Italy There is a custom in Italy for young couples to get engaged on Valentine's Day. Some shops sell china baskets and cups which are filled with sweets and tied with ribbons. The young romantics offer these to each other as a token of their love.

Denmark In Denmark, people swap poems and sweets. Some people also send joke cards, which are called gaekkbrev, and instead of writing their name, they sign it in dots. If the person who receives the card correctly guesses the identity of the sender, they will get a candy egg from the sender at Easter time.

China The Chinese celebrate Valentine's Day on February 14th, but they also celebrate a special Valentine's Day on July 7th of the Chinese lunar calendar. This celebration comes from a Chinese fairy tale from a long time ago. It is the only night in the year when two stars meet in the skies above. One star represents a shepherd boy and the other is his love, a weaver.

Japan In Japan there are two Valentine's Days. The first is on February 14th and the other is on March 14th. On February 14th women give chocolates not only to their boyfriends but also to their bosses and to boys who are friends. The men don't have to give anything. On March 14th, which is called 'White Day', the men must buy chocolates (or other sweets) for their girlfriends or wives.
