The holiday first became associated with** **romantic love** **in the circle of** **Geoffrey Chaucer** **in the** **High** Middle Ages**, when the tradition of** **courtly love** **flourished.**
 * The sending of Valentines was a fashion in nineteenth-century Great Britain, and, in 1847, Esther Howland developed a successful business in her Worcester, Massachusetts home with hand-made Valentine cards based on British models. The popularity of Valentine cards in 19th century America, where many Valentine cards are now general greeting cards rather than declarations of love, was a harbinger of the future commercialization of holidays in the United States.In the second half of the twentieth century, the practice of exchanging cards was extended to all manner of gifts in the United States, usually from a man to a woman.Such gifts typically include** **roses** **and** **chocolates** **packed in a red satin, heart-shaped box.The day has come to be associated with a generic** **platonic** **greeting of "Happy Valentine's Day." As a joke, Valentine's Day is also referred to as** **Singles** Awareness Day
