Celebrating St Dwynwen's Day

One difference, however, is the type of gifts people give. This is the most popular day of the year for Welsh lovespoons, which are handcarved wooden spoons decorated with hearts and various other symobls for love, like the celtic knot. A love spoon with a dragon, for example, is meant to tell your partner that you will always protect your love. A heart, however, might stand for nurturing love while two hearts stand for everlasting love. Lovespoons are typically engraved with names or important dates, like anniversaries. I went to the famous lovespoon museum in Cardiff where I got a custom lovespoon for my boyfriend, and I even got a lovespoon shaped chocolate!
