Showcasing Products We Love in Honor of Valentine’s Day
Got a special gift, occasion, or treat lined up for Valentine’s Day? Ever wonder how the holiday got started?
St. Valentine was a third century priest who performed secret wedding ceremonies. The origin of the holiday itself, however, traces back to an ancient Roman celebration of Lupercalia, to purify the city and promote health and fertility.
In medieval times, girls would sometimes eat unusual foods on St. Valentine’s Day to make them dream of their future husband. In 1537, King Henry VIII officially declared February 14th Valentine’s Day. Ironically, he was fond of the term “sweetheart” and used it frequently. And in the late 1800s, Richard Cadbury came up with the first Valentine’s Day candy box.
These days, Valentine’s Day is the second most popular holiday for sending cards…next to only Christmas. We’re talking about one billion cards a year. Over 50 million roses are bought each Valentine’s Day. And those heart-shaped boxes of tasty chocolate? More than 35 million!
Now here’s what we love…three products with loads of appeal that are sure to look dynamite in your work environment: Interchangeable Acrylic Wall Nameplate Holders, Cubicle Nameplate Holders with Silver and Black Borders, and Acrylic Cubicle Sign Holders.
Interchangeable Acrylic Wall Nameplate Holders (NPHW085025T1) make a clear spotlight for name and title inserts, especially with distinctive border options. The acrylic is premium thickness and perforated card stock is also included free on select orders for DIY insert printing.
Cubicle Nameplate Holders with Silver and Black Borders (PNH085025020 SSS – PNH085025020 SSB) are the smart choice for displays atop cubicle/partition walls. Cubicle usage is rising in office floor plans and so is the popularity of perfectly fitting Cubicle Nameplate Holders. The Silver and Black Border options really draw the eye, too.
To make event and holiday announcements stand out, Acrylic Cubicle Sign Holdersdo the trick. Also available with Silver and Black Borders (CSHL085110020 SSS – CSHL085110020 SSB), this attractive design fits cubicle walls snugly and the display accommodates literature 8-1/2” x 11”.
Speaking of literature displays, the oldest known Valentine’s Day card dates back to the 1400s and you can see it at the British Museum in London!
