Richard Downes Lovespoons
Lovespoons make the perfect gift for St Valentines Day .

There was a tradition that Love Spoons were given as a present to a couple on their wedding day. This tradition of giving Lovespoons as a romantic gift continues today. The giving of lovespoons as a St valentines Day gift was also wide spread representing an invitation to begin courtship ! Lovespoons are now given as christening presents to mark a future lifetime of love. Lovespoons are also given to celebrate Wedding anniversaries (especially the 5th Wedding Anniversary - wood) as a token renewal of the couple's continuing love. Lovespoons are also given as birthday presents demonstrating the parents love for their children. But of course, Lovespoons are the true Valentines Day gift to say “I love you”. Many lovespoons are also given to friends and relatives that have emigrated to remind them of home. Love spoons are often given as “Wedding Favours” - a love momento to each guest as a keepsake.Lovespoon purchases are ofter accompanied by a note explaining the various symbols carved into the spoons and the story behind the tradition. Just as the Incas writtemn language took the form of knots on a string so the early Celts communicated their love ith symbols on their Lovespoon gifts.
