Did you forget to buy your sweetheart candy and flowers on Valentine’s Day, and have been paying for it ever since? Or maybe you only just met someone special and wish you could enlist Cupid’s help to show your love, but have over six months until you can celebrate Anti-Singles Day again.

Lucky for you we look for any chance to get all sentimental and mushy, and found out during a recent trip to Shanghai that Chinese Valentine’s Day falls on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, and this year it’s on August 6. We also just learned about two Chinese Valentine’s Day packages being offered by the Peninsula Shanghai.

As you may know, aside from being executive vice president of development and acquisitions for The Trump Organization, Ivanka has her own line of baubles, Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry, which has a store on Madison Avenue. And The Don&#146;s girl obviously learned something about synergy, because she&#146;s just announced a promotion that marries (har har) the Trump hotels with her diamond rings.</p> <p>Customers who buy a ring from Ivanka&#146;s <a href="http://www.ivankatrumpcollection.com/#/collections/bridal_bar/">Bridal Bar</a> will also score a three-course champagne dinner and a night in a Trump hotel in Manhattan.
