In Estonia February 14 is not just a romantic day exclusively for lovers but a time to celebrate good friendships as well. Exchanging gifts and cards is a nice way to express appreciation towards those you value in life and of course it's always fun to go out for dinner!
As a romantic at heart, I prefer Valentine's Day even though I celebrate both. My favourite romantic Estonian proverb is 'vana arm ei roosteta' (old love doesn't rust). For if you truly love someone, you always love them, the love doesn't fade. People who find this kind of love are very lucky.
So whether you are celebrating Valentinipäev (Valentine's Day) or Sobrapäev (Friends Day) I wish you the very best!
