I have another question. Since my dear wife has many non-religious friends that get gifts from their husbands and friends on that day, she kind of feels neglected, is there anything that is permissible to be done?
A. As we mentioned on the previous answer, it is not befitting and forbidden to commemorate or celebrate Valentine’s Day, due to its paganism involved as well as the Christian roots. One who desires to give his wife a gift, or a gift of flowers and sweets, can find any other occasion of the year to do so.
Some Rabbonim suggest to give the gift a day before.
