Whether you love it or hate it, Valentine’s Day is here. It might seem like a holiday dedicated to commercialism and over-consumption of chocolate hearts, but there’s a whole host of fascinating facts about the holiday that few folks know... here are a few of our favourite cupid-inspired titbits, specially selected by everyone here at GoneDigging Towers... Happy Valentine’s Day!

Fact 1

Valentine’s Day was first celebrated during the Roman times in the middle of February. It was a holiday called Lupercalia to commemorate fertility. A “love lottery” was held whereby young men drew young women’s names from a box to commemorate their rite of passage to the god Lupercus. The chooser and chosen would then be paired for one year. These random pairings often led to marriage.

Every three seconds on the 45th day of our calendar year, a girl’s dreams are shattered.

It’s been a tough old time of late for those folk on the Corrie cobbles. We’ve seen Becky jet off to Barbados with her new chap, but not before leaving a path of destruction in her wake. And super-baddie Frank Foster got away with his horrible crime – the arse. Little wonder, then, that we keep coming back for more. And little wonder the classic programme continues to scoop up awards quicker than a cheeky pint at the Rovers. As an ode to the classic soap, we take a look back at some of our favourite Corrie moments from the not-too-distant past…

Mums deserve spoiling. Fact. That’s why the clever clogs in GD Towers have put together a cracking collection of pampery treats readymade for Mother’s Day. Wiggle your mouse, check ‘em out and order one…

Let’s start with something she can enjoy in the comfort of her own home. Our awesome pamper hampers come in a snazzy wicker basket and include five hand-cut soaps, a candle, fizzy bath rocks and a large strawberry and cream bath bomb. And because no proper soak in the tub is complete without a tipple, there’s also a personalised bottle of sparkling rosé for her to crack open.
