Answer:

Ribbon and Lace as Symbols of Love

Step-by-step explanation:

A woman would give the object of her desire her lace handkerchief or some ribbons from her hair for luck and protection, as well as to remind him of her love, and it is from this tradition that lace and ribbons have endured into the present era as a popular Valentine's Day symbol.
