I whakahaerehia e tana papa he pukapuka nui me te toa pepa, engari i whakaaweawe a Howland i tana Valentine Ingarihi i riro mai i a ia mai i tetahi hoa pakihi a tona papa. I te hiahia ki te whakaaro ki te hanga i nga Valentines rite, i timata a Howland i tana pakihi ma te kawemai i te pepa pepa me nga whakapaipai putiputi mai i Ingarangi. I kite tetahi kaituhi i roto i te Graham's American Monthly i te tau 1849, "Ko te Ra o Saint Valentine... kei te noho, kua riro, he hararei motu". Ko te tikanga Ingarihi o te tuku kāri o Valentine i whakapumautia kia rite ki te whakaaro mo te kaupapa i roto i te pukapuka a Elizabeth Gaskell a Mr. Harrison's Confessions (1851): "I pakaru ahau ki aku whakamarama: 'Ko te valentine kaore au e mohio ki tetahi mea.' 'Ko te reira i roto i to koutou tuhi ringa, ka mea ia coldly. " Mai i te tau 2001, kei te whakawhiwhia e te Greeting Card Association he "Tohu Esther Howland mo te Kaari Kaari Kaari".Mai i te rautau 19, ko nga tuhipoka tuuturu kua whai waahi ki nga kaari ohaurunga maha. I te UK, iti iho i te haurua o te taupori e whakapau moni ana ki a raatau Valentines, ana tata ki te £ 1.9 piriona i whakapau i te 2015 mo nga kaari, putiputi, tiakarete me etahi atu taonga. Ko te tauhokohoko o te ra o Valentine i waenganui o te rautau 19 he tohu mo etahi atu hararei tauhokohoko i te US hei whai ake.  Pātai: He aha te rā o Valentine?
he hararei ā-motu
