Valentine\'s Day becoming popular among youngsters
KUWAIT: Valentine's Day or the 'Feast of Love' is celebrated all over the world including Kuwait. But it is not that visible in Kuwait and other Islamic countries due to its denouncement by many religious shaikhs. These shaikhs are against this celebration as they consider it a feast of non-Muslims, so Muslims should not imitate or join them in celebrations. Nevertheless Valentine's Day is celebrated in Kuwait by thousands of people, especially the younger generation. Many stores and shops are busy preparing for this celebration as well. The situation here though is much more tolerant than in other countries, like Saudi Arabia for instance.
In the KSA every year fatwas are issued by various religious shaikhs denouncing the Valentine's Day celebrations. They even ban the sale of red flowers and any gift items bearing hearts or symbolising love. Several stores in and around Kuwait promote different sales promotions and offers for this occasion to cater to all tastes. Each age category necessitates special gift items in accordance to the age of the lovers. Teenagers seek cheaper gifts, suiting their budget, where mostly the choice is either a teddy bear or a red rose. Older people who can afford to buy more expensive gifts, such as jewellery or watches indulge in doing just that. Married couple buy useful household gifts, such as electronics that can be used at home.
Valentine's Day is considered a 'high season' where sales are concerned, for most gift shops, with red roses being the most widely sold gifts locally as well as internationally. "There are many occasions taking place yearlong, but Valentines Day is the best selling day in terms of sales for us. We prepare ourselves by stocking huge supplies of roses for this special day, especially the red roses. We even organise special wrapping designs adorned with hearts and mini teddy bears, as these are the most in demand," Rosy, a saleslady at a flower shop in Salmiya told the Kuwait Times.

In Great Britain, a woman would write the names of their sweethearts on small scraps of paper which would be placed on clay balls. The balls were dropped into water with the belief that whichever scrap of paper surfaced first would be the name of the man destined to be the future husband.

Pick a dandelion that has gone to seed. Take a deep breath and blow the seeds into the wind. Count the seed that remain on the stem, and that is the number of children you will have.

Seeing different animals on Valentine's Day can result in different ways; seeing a goldfinch, you will marry a millionaire; seeing a robin you will marry a crime fighter; seeing a dove, you will have a happy peaceful marriage. (Maybe it's a good day to go to the zoo!)
