Cupid 

The ancient Roman god of love in all its

varieties, the counterpart of the Greek god
Eros and the equivalent of Amor in Latin

poetry. According to myth, Cupid was the son

of Mercury, the winged messenger of the gods,

and Venus, the goddess of love, he usually

 appeared as a winged infant carrying a bow

and a quiver of arrows, whose wounds inspired

 love or passion in his every victim. 

Doves

Doves mate for life, they symbolize loyalty

Hearts

To a beloved, there is no symbol as important as

the heart. To give someone one's heart means to

 give to him or her one's whole being, for the heart

 is at the center of one's existence. The heart stands

for the most profound and noblest of human
emotions: that of love. Through ages, it has

inspired millions to rise above the mundane cares

and to get lost in the thought of their beloved.

Thus a heart, pierced by the cupid's arrow,

has become the most famous of the valentine's
symbols

Candies and chocolates

Sweet treats, to sweethearts....

Rings

A never-ending circle symbolizing eternal love

Roses

Soft velvety petals and a sweet fragrance, the rose

 has been used for hundreds of years to reveal secret loves.

A red rose is the symbol of true love.

White, pure love.

 Pink, innocent or puppy love.
