The Facebook Blog

Just over a week ago, we began gradually rolling out gift scheduling for birthdays-helping you celebrate friends' birthdays by planning a gift as many as seven days in advance. Today, we're bringing a similar approach to Valentine's Day, so you can send your valentines something special on Facebook.

When you visit a friend's profile, under the Give Gift tab in the Publisher, you'll be able to schedule a Valentine's Day gift—ranging from a blue rose to a heart-shaped cookie.

The gift will appear wrapped on your friend's Wall until February 14th. Only then will the contents be revealed. This way, you will know if someone special—or someone unexpected—is planning a Valentine's Day surprise. You'll get the delight of receiving a gift twice, and you'll also have a chance to reciprocate.



We're always exploring more ways to make gifts useful and meaningful for all the special occasions in your life.
