Personalised Gifts on Valentine’s Day : Basholi

"Oh! little loveliest lady mine, What shall I send for your valentine? Summer and flowers are far away; Gloomy old Winter is king to-day; Buds will not blow, and sun will not shine: What shall I do for a valentine? I ’ve searched the gardens all through and through For a bud to tell of my love so true; But buds are asleep, and blossoms are dead And the snow beats down on my poor little head." - Laura Elizabeth Richards
