Monster was born & raised a Brit, she's moved to the States since.
Valentines Day in the UK is all about romantic love. We certainly didn't give out valentines at school - unless it was someone we fancied. In which case it was a private exchange and not sanctioned by the education authorities.
Work colleagues/ different gender friends sometimes send eachother valentines, but in general it is considered odd to send them to family members, especially children.
(I appreciate it is different in the US, just explaining what happens here)
