If you've got your eye on an eligible villager in your Animal Crossing: New Horizons town, then now's the time to make your move. Sure, Animal Crossing has never actually allowed you to date the citizens before, but they added Wedding Season last year, didn't they? We can only hope that one day, Marshal will return our affections.
Nothing's stopping you from giving these lovely gifts to your intended boo, except their 1,200 Bell price, that is. They'll be added to the Nook Shopping catalogue on the 1st February, and they'll be available only until the 14th - Valentine's Day itself - so get ready to grab 'em before they're gone!
The Valentine's items will appear in the game alongside some Super Bowl paraphernalia, and various New Year's celebration decorations. It looks like the Valentine's Day items are colour-customisable, too - Nookipedia features the different options for both the Chocolate Box and the Bouquet.
What are your thoughts on the ACNH updates since the start of the year? Are you craving new content, or is this enough to sate your appetite? Let us know in the comments!

It would've been nice if Valentine's Day was an actual event like in New Leaf rather than just items. Though Festivale still looks nice.
Are they gonna bring back more flowers? Didn't we get carnations around valentine's day back in New Leaf? Or am I remembering wrong?
I'll be interested to see what events they add this year, or if they change ones that have already happened.
As long as they don't turn all of the balloons and fish into eggs I'll be happy....never again...
I go back for these events but most have been pretty lacklustre so far. I'm hoping the dancing peacock event gives better loot
@Kimyonaakuma Well... I do remember Animal Crossing New Leaf featured a variant of Bunny Day Egg known as the Deep-Sea Egg.
That is a new one that Nintendo could make available this year.
If only I had someone to give them to.

@Heavyarms55 I don't remember carnations on Valentine's day, but it has been years since I played new leaf.
I have been dropping off my game play, but i am hopeful for March and how they teased some Mario items.
FYI - Mr. Resetti faux amiibo is only available until Tuesday 2/2 so chop chop.

Pretty sure my in game character has slept w/ half the female villagers on my island judging by the dialogue boxes so I have a lot of candy to buy. Though most of them have moved away already, just Fauna left, 1 of my original 10, she was like 4 or 5. The Playboy bunny moved, kinda miss her. As did Kat, one of my original 3, though we were always buddy buddy, don't think there was any hanky-panky going on. Do miss her the most. Wolf just moved onto the island yesterday, will have to pick up a gift for her.
And my wife moved onto the island NY Eve. Can't forget her. 😘
Ah yes. Replacing the smaller holidays with items!
Nothing says Valentine’s Day like a football rug 😂
@rjejr
I've had Katt from the beginning and love her.
I was so disappointed at all the prezzies at Christmas that were just a cash grab for those nefarious wee raccoons! I've gotten a refurbed New 2DS XL and, after a call to Nintendo getting my games back, have been playing that more than my switch. But I have Sakuna Of Rice and Ruin coming Sunday so that may change.
@VoidofLight
Yep then they can focus the rest on mostly grinding for recipes and materials in the same repetitive ways, meanwhile the original game had oddball but neat days like morning aerobics that used the c-stick of all things.
@Heavyarms55
Carnation flowers are from Mother's Day and Father's Day on ACNL.
@SalvorHardin I miss how in past games, they actually gave us holidays and events, instead of just needless grinds for crafting recipes. One of the biggest disappointments with this game was that the snowmen only give you crafting recipes, instead of them being mini-games like in New Leaf.
My villager pig, Maggie, is my in game girlfriend so I'm gonna shower her with sweets and seductive love letters come Valentines day. Just in case someone reads this the wrong way, no, I am not sexually attracted to pigs.
@rjejr it happens when you're stuck on an island with just a few people. No judging here.
@Anti-Matter Oh that's right. I was mistaken.
@shining_nexus My Island is auditioning for it's own show. 😁
@nessisonett Rugs can be useful on Valentine's Day.
@k8sMum I saw that Sakuna game doing well everywhere so that should be fun. Think I'm limiting my life sims to ACNH.
Next Tuesday I get Concrete Genie w/ PS+. Been looking forward to it since release not that long ago, seemed like an obvious PS+ pick. Glad I waited.
