The first American publisher of valentines was printer and artist Esther Howland. During the 1870s, her elaborate lace cards were purchased by the wealthy, as they cost a minimum of 5 dollars - some sold for as much as 35 dollars. Mass production eventually brought prices down, and the affordable "penny valentine" became popular with the lower classes.

The first photograph of a U.S. President was taken on February 14, 1849 by Matthew Brady in New York City. President James Polk was the subject of the famous picture.

The first televised tour of the White House aired on February 14 in 1962. First Lady Jackie Kennedy hosted the tour.

My parents used to get us a little box of some Valentine's chocolates when we were young. My brother always ended up with whatever had Snoopy on it; I got lace and flowers on mine. The candy was awful, but it was cute.

I did every year before my father passed away. Every year he'd buy me some expensive but hideous piece of jewelry. I still have all of them in their perfect boxes. He tried hard, but he never quite got my style
