National I Love You Day is a day to express love and gratitude to those closest to you, including family, friends, and pets. It is celebrated on October 14 in the United States. Unlike Valentines Day, National I Love You Day goes beyond just couples and celebrates relationships of all kinds. The day was created in the 1970s and was inspired by a hashtag that was used to promote a Filipino romantic drama film called "Everyday I Love You". The hashtag eventually became #NationalILoveYouDay. To celebrate National I Love You Day, people can express their love in various ways, such as telling their loved ones that they love them, giving them a gift, or planning an outing together. The day is also an opportunity to share special memories on social media. Other national days for expressing love or friendship include National Kissing Day, National Best Friends Day, National Boyfriend Day, National Friendship Day, National Girlfriends Day, National Hanging Out Day, and National Make a Friend Day.
