Valentine's Day Gift Ideas in Copper, Brass and Bronze
Although Valentine's Day is not a public holiday, it is still celebrated all over the world and has been for hundreds of years. In the 18th century the day became somewhat as we know it today with lovers exchanging gifts such as confectionary, greeting cards known as 'Valentines' and presenting flowers - like roses and, in our case, copper ones!
