'''Valentine's Day''' is an [[event]] in the {{SER}} that occurs on February 14.

==Appearances==
===In {{DnM|nolink}} and {{DnM+|nolink}}===
On February 14 in {{DnM}} and {{DnM+}}, all female villagers in town send male players a letter with a gift for Valentine's Day. One month later, on March 14, all male villagers in town send female players a letter with a gift for White Day. This is a reflection of how Valentine's Day is traditionally celebrated in Japan; women give men gifts on Valentine's Day, and men give women reciprocal gifts on White Day.

Villagers only send letters if the player has spoken to them. The attached item varies based on the player's friendship level with that villager and is the same for both Valentine's Day and White Day:
*Max friendship – random [[raffle]] furniture
*Friendship value of 80 or more – random furniture from the town's rare [[group]]
*Friendship value of less than 80 – random clothing from the town's common group

White Day does not appear in {{iQue}}.

===In {{PG|nolink}} and {{DnMe+|nolink}}===
In {{PG}} and {{DnMe+}}, White Day is removed, and all players are sent letters with gifts from every villager on Valentine's Day. The gifts received are the same as in {{DnM|nolink}} and {{DnM+|nolink}}.

A week or two before Valentine's Day, villagers begin to hint that they are going to send chocolates to a special someone. [[Pete]], the mailman, also advises everyone to clear their mailboxes.

===In {{WW|short|nolink}}===
Although Valentine's Day does not appear in {{WW}}, items were sent by Nintendo over the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] in celebration of Valentine's Day in 2006 and 2007. On February 14, 2006, Chocolates were distributed in Japan, and a {{I|lovely loveseat|Wild World}} was distributed in North America. On February 12, 2007, a {{I|lovely chair|Wild World}} was distributed in North America.<ref>{{Cite web|author=Liquefy|date=July 11, 2009|url=https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ds/920786-animal-crossing-wild-world/faqs/40130|title=Animal Crossing: Wild World – FAQ (Japanese)|site=GameFAQs|retrieved=January 26, 2021}}</ref>

In {{NL}}, the player receives a letter from [[Isabelle]] on Valentine's Day that contains a {{I|chocolate cake|New Leaf}}, as well as a {{I|chocolate heart|New Leaf}} from villagers of the opposite gender if they have high friendship with them.

In addition, the player can purchase a chocolate heart and a heart-shaped bouquet from [[Nook Shopping]] as part of a seasonal Valentine's Day [[Nook Shopping seasonal event|event]] from February 1 to 14.
