Denmark

In Denmark, people swap poems and sweetscandy. 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.

Italy

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

France

A long time ago, the French custom for Valentine’s Day involved young women going into one house and young men going into another house, opposite across from the first house. They would then call out of the windows to each other. If, in the end, the man was not attracted to his partner, he would go away and abandon her. Later on in the day, a bonfire would be lit and the women would insult and burn images of the young men who had abandoned them.

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.) of flowers and not an even number (2, 4, 6, etc.), otherwise it could bring them both bad luck.
