According to a recent National Retail Federation survey, Valentine’s Day spending will be down 6% from last year. No big surprise there but some of the survey results are interesting.
For example, men spend nearly twice the amount on Valentine’s Day as women with an average of $135.35 compared to $72.28 spent by women. This year practical gifts win out over jewelry and a fancy dinner out. Gifts will include sweaters, clothing and winter accessories. The traditional candy, flowers and Valentine greeting cards will remain popular choices.
The trend this year is towards personal and unique gifts that come from the heart rather than the wallet. Couples will spend less on each other and more on family, friends and even pets.
