Katie Holmes was never sent flowers on Valentine's Day when she was growing up.

The 'Mad Money' actress, now married to Tom Cruise, always felt ignored by the opposite sex on the romantic day, so she put all her effort into sending cards to her girlfriends.

Holmes is quoted by Britain's New. Magazine as saying, "I like making a big deal out of a lot of things, so yes, I like to have a whole day of romance.

I like surprises and I like sending Valentine's cards. I went to an all-girls high school and every Valentine's Day they would announce who had flowers waiting in the office. I got very used to the importance of giving other women Valentines because my name was never called - never. And I didn't have any money to send them to myself."
