"Love is in the Air" is a seasonal event that takes place around Valentine's Day (around February 11-15). The first "Love is in the Air" event occurred in 2006, and was repeated in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. 2010 saw this event significantly changed. See Love is in the Air 2009 for details of the previous version of this event.
From the on the official site:
- Something is in the air in the major cities of Azeroth. Some call it love, and some just call it friendship and admiration. Whichever it is, many guards and townsfolks now spend their days giving and receiving tokens and gifts to other amorous citizens.
- The more skeptical, however, are suspicious of the strange "love sickness" clouding the hearts of so many. Will this widespread occurrence be simply taken as a recent outbreak of amore? Or will our brave adventurers find a sinister plot behind the source of this plague of passion? Only time will tell...

Items
The Crown Chemical Co. is in town! Items are now purchased from the Lovely Merchant in each major city for 
[Love Tokens]. Tokens can be purchased with 
[Lovely Charm Bracelets]. The bracelets are created from ten 
[Lovely Charms].
To collect Lovely Charms, players must have the 
[Lovely Charm Collector's Kit] in their inventory, which is available from Kwee Q. Peddlefeet. Then go kill mobs and/or players that would grant honor or XP. You need not loot these mobs, it is enough to just land the killing blow and the Lovely Charm will appear automagically. Note that Lovely Charms are not distributed to party/raid members participating; only the player with the killing blow is awarded the charm.
Quests
There are several daily quests and a quest chain during the holiday.
A Gift for ...
A daily quest from Kwee Q. Peddlefeet offering a gift (a Lovely Charm Bracelet) to the leader of the capital city. Receive 5x [Love Token] and a consumable card that provides a buff to a core stat for an hour.

Event Boss
For 2010, the Love is in the Air event now also features an event boss: Apothecary Hummel
The optional quest 
[78-80] Man on the Inside leads you to Shadowfang Keep where the Crown Chemical Company set up a base of operations. There you can find a goblin agent who gives you [75-80D Daily] You've Been Served. When turning that quest in at Apothecary Hummel, he and his two companions will aggro. They are all level 82 (elite) and have about 260k health. When the proper strategy is followed, these should not pose a problem for a well-geared 5-man group.
Bouquet of Roses
During the 2009 event of "Love is in the Air", the [Bouquet of Ebon Roses] was introduced for those characters with access to Northrend.
The [Bouquet of Ebon Roses] showers the character with black rose petals and drops from:
in both Normal and Heroic modes.
Due to an issue not allowing the Ebon Roses to get the Fistful of Love achievement as intended, there was a hotfix that replaced them with the [Bouquet of Red Roses] [1].

[Fool For Love]Commercial
In 2007, Blizzard created a Burning Crusade commercial that featured the "Love is in the Air" event as well as the new jewelcrafting profession. From the official website, the ad was described as follows:[1]
What do you get the blood elf who has everything? This Valentine's Day, make it an epic jewel! Yes, the industrial empires of Azeroth aren't about to let anyone escape the relentless marketing campai- er, bloom of true love associated with this time of year! Take a look at this new commercial but be warned that you may be struck by a sudden impulse to spend all the gold you've saved for your epic mount.
