In Germany it has become customary for the young man of the couple who were courting to present his loved one flowers on valentine’s day.
In Germany gifts in the shape of love tokens would be given with lovely messages. These were not just handed out on Valentines Day but on any day.
Even baptismal certificates or marriage certificates were sometimes thought of as valentines, but, were more likely just to be decorative and pictorial or even lovely verses that would be written out of love.
Germans who share St Valentines Day give roses, chocolates etc, to their wives.
