THANKS to a Third Century Roman saint, February 14 has become a day when lovers make a point of expressing their affection for each other with sweet greetings and gifts.

Valentine’s Day has evolved to extend beyond lovers, with the expression of affection between relatives and friends not uncommon.

From early church origins, Valentine’s day then began to resemble something close to what we celebrate today. Around the 16th Century, written messages, often depicting the

Roman god of love Cupid along with hearts and flowers, became common.
Finding the perfect token of love to present to your special someone can be hard, but Focus Cards and Gifts in Maude Street Mall have a range of heartfelt cards, lovely Equilibrium jewellery and Willow Tree figurines to make selecting something easy.

Focus Cards and Gifts are located at 181 Maude Street, Shepparton and have a large range of special gifts and unique cards for your Valentine.
