Imagine waking up on February 14th. The atmosphere in Panama City feels different; there is a scent of fresh flowers at the corners and the shop windows are tinted red and pink. Perhaps you have planned a dinner in the Old Town or a picnic under the shadows of the Amador Causeway. But beyond the restaurant reservation, the question arises that unites us all every year:How can I show that special person how much they mean to me without falling into the usual?
AtShopping Box, we know that the true value of a gift is not in the price, but in the story it tells and in the ease with which it reaches your hands to create an unforgettable moment.
Why do we celebrate love on February 14th?
Many believe that Valentine's Day is a modern invention of department stores, but its origin is much older and more fascinating. It dates back to 3rd century Rome, when a priest named Valentine defied the orders of Emperor Claudius II.
The emperor had prohibited marriage for young warriors, believing that single men were better soldiers without family ties. Valentine, considering the decree unjust, began to celebrate marriages in secret. When he was discovered, his sacrifice for defending love made him a martyr and eventually the patron saint of lovers.
