**Japan** – Valentine’s Day is about pampering the guys! Women give chocolates to men, and hope they return the gesture later in the year.   - **South Korea** – February 14th is one of 12 ‘love’ days that fall on the 14th of each month. Women give gifts to men, then men return the favor on “White Day” 1 month later. But if the gift isn’t returned, singles celebrate White Day by eating ‘Black Noodles’ – a dish that mourns and celebrates single life.   - **Scandinavia (Denmark & Norway)** – Men send anonymous poems to women. The notes are signed with 1 dot for each letter in the man’s name. If the woman guesses who her admirer is, he rewards her with an egg on Easter.  If she guesses wrong, she owes him the egg on Easter.    - **Slovenia** – Slovenians walk through a field barefoot, even if it’s frozen. They celebrate a holiday for love later in the year.   - **Estonia** – Valentine’s is all about your friends.  Instead of giving your partner a gift, you celebrate friendship.    - **Wales** – The Welsh give love spoons on January 25th.  It gives a new meaning to “spooning” with the one you love.    - **France** – The French used to call out to each other to pair up for romance. The women who didn’t find matches would gather together at the end of the day and burn photos of the men who rejected them.  This practice was later banned by the French government, as it usually got quite rowdy.   - **China** – Love seekers visit the matchmaker statue in a temple to find love.  (We wonder If Hogwarts has a hat for this?)   - **Germany** – The Germans celebrate by “pigging out.”  Statues of pigs are combined with flowers and traditional gifts as a sign of luck.     - **Brazilians** – If you believe in fate or luck, celebrate like a Brazilian. Place the names of the people you like into a hat and randomly select one, it could be the person you end up marrying.    - **Italy** – When in Rome, visit St. Valentine’s…skull.  You can see it on display and thank him for the wonderful traditions we celebrate today.      From running barefoot through a field to burning a photo of the man who scorned you, there are fun and sometimes unusual ways that people celebrate Valentine's Day.  The infographic below will help you discover how this holiday is celebrated across 11 different countries.  Some celebrate love, other cultures appreciate each other's friendship and in certain places you may find people visiting a skull.      If you enjoy this infographic, make sure to share it on your favorite social network.  If you have a loved one whose currently abroad, we offer hundreds of [Valentine's gifts](http://www.giftbasketsoverseas.com/gifts/valentines-day-gifts/) that you can send overseas including flowers, chocolates, teddy bears and [wines](http://www.giftbasketsoverseas.com/gifts/wine-gift-baskets/).   Nobody should feel alone on Valnetine's which is why we're here to help!   ![Valentines traditions from around the world](http://www.giftbasketsoverseas.com/images/infographics/Valentines_traditions_from_around_the_world.jpg "Valentines_traditions_from_around_the_world.jpg")     Please use the HTML code below to embed this graphic: Valentine's day traditions from around the World
