Aside from the usual bouquets and chocolates, though, some countries over there have their V-Day quirks. In South Africa, women wear hearts on their sleeves on February 14\u2014and by that, we mean <em>literally<\/em>. The women write their crushes\u2019 (or their love interests, depending on who you\u2019re asking) names on them and pin them on their shirt sleeves. This tradition, known as <em>Lupercalia<\/em>, gives men a head\u2019s up on their secret admirers. Gentlemen, if you see your names on these hearts, now you know what\u2019s up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Got any plans for your V-Day celebrations? If you do, that\u2019s great!
