Happy Kiss Day 2022: When is Kiss Day? Significance, unique gift ideas, & more

Kiss Day is celebrated every year as a part of Valentine's Week. Valentine's week begins with Rose day on February 7, followed by Propose Day, Chocolate Day, Teddy Day, Promise Day, Hug Day, Kiss Day and, finally, Valentine’s Day on February 14. The day is celebrated to honour Saint Valentine, a Catholic clergyman, who lived in Rome in the third century. After Hug Day, there comes Kiss Day on February 13. A kiss is a unique and very intimate gesture to express feelings and emotions to special ones. 

Kiss Day Significance

Kiss Day is celebrated as couples express their love for one another by kissing each other. A simple kiss can make your partner's day this Valentine Week. According to a scientific fact, kissing releases ‘happy hormones’ called Oxytocin, Dopamine and Serotonin. These hormones are released when one experiences pleasure, hence reducing stress hormones in the body called Cortisol levels.
