In Finland, Valentine’s Day is always celebrated on the 14th of February. This romantic holiday has a quite long history, as it has been celebrated since the 1980s. In 2023, Valentine’s Day will be celebrated on Tuesday.
Valentine’s Day has been traditionally treated as a romantic holiday for lovers. Still, Finland has built a reputation as a holiday celebrated with good friends and other loved ones, such as family members.
Remembering your loved ones with Valentine’s cards, poems, and different kinds of gifts is traditional. Going to movies or for dinner are traditional ways to celebrate this holiday.
Thanks to its romantic reputation, Valentine’s Day is also a very popular time for a proposal.
Valentine’s Day has traditionally been a popular time for various pleasant times with a spouse, friend or why not also other close people, such as siblings or parents.

Valentine’s Day gifts play an essential role in this romantic holiday. Next, we will share a few good tips for Valentine’s Day gifts and things to do.
Going to the movies is one of the long-standing traditions of Valentine’s Day, and this can easily be done with your life partner or another loved one.
In the capital region, Finnkino’s Valentine’s Day will also this year include many interesting premiere films for different movie tastes. You can check out the Valentine’s Day movie selection on Finnkino’s website.
Staycation is a combination of the English words stay and vacation.
Since Valentine’s Day in 2023 falls on a Tuesday, for the vast majority of us, it falls in the middle of a busy work week, which limits, for example, vacationing.

Flowers and a heart-shaped box of chocolates are perhaps the most popular material gift that retains their popularity year after year and decade. However, if you want to make your loved ones happy with an immaterial gift, which you can use at any time, we recommend a hotel or restaurant gift card.
In the VALO Hotel Helsinki gift card shop, you can find gift cards for many tastes. You can choose from many different options, a gift card for a hotel, restaurants or, for example, an extraordinary staycation with dinner. In our selection, you can also find gift cards with a freely selectable amount.
