Thank you also for the amazingly fast delivery which was received within hours of placing this order - i was very grateful to have one less thing to stress about 🙂 Although your website said "same day", unfortunately I've had many experiences from other companies that didn't deliver so I wasn't holding much hope this time.

Chinese Valentine’s Day is also known as Qixi Festival or the Double Seventh Festival. It is celebrated on the seventh day of the seventh month in the Chinese lunar calendar and has a history stretching back over 2,000 years.
Qixi Festival is inspired by the traditional legend of Zhinü (the Weaver Girl) and Niulang (the Cowherd) — two star-crossed lovers separated by the Milky Way, allowed to reunite only once each year. The story symbolises loyalty, patience, and enduring love.
