The tradition of sharing one's love is almost as old as the emotion itself and whether its a bouquet of the traditional flowers or the not so traditional balloons there are lots of ways to say I love you.
'It's just a special day to tell people how much you care and how much you love them and gives you something extra some extra day just to think about it.'
