Valentine's
Cupid's special day
Valentine's is the possessive form used as shorthand for Valentine's Day, the holiday on February 14th celebrating romantic love: What are you doing for Valentine's?
I got her flowers for Valentine's.
The possessive refers to Saint Valentine, though the holiday's connection to the martyr is largely nominal.
