Valentine"s Day, is it just a day to get lucky?





Valentine’s Day, it is a day celebrated to show your love to their special someone. Upon reading articles about this special day. This is what I found worth sharing…

• Valentine cards are the second most popular greeting card-giving occasion next to Christmas. This surprised me, I thought birthday or mother’s day cards would have been at the top of this list!?

• One-quarter of men spend money on gifts for their loved one because they feel obligated or are just trying to get lucky. However, nearly one-quarter of men admit that they mark Valentine’s Day out of a sense of obligation or “because they’re hoping to get lucky.” Meanwhile, 13% of women say they celebrate just “because everyone else does.”  This is totally me!  We rarely give gifts and the only reason we would is “because we have to”.  I feel that my husband and I appreciate each other every single day and Valentines Day isn’t any different for us.

• The longer the relationship, and the older you get, the less you spend on unique gifts for loved ones. This rings true for me, I think that the older the relationship is, just means it is at a new or different level of  love and Valentines Day doesn’t really factor on the radar that much… Well not for me anyway.

Did you know that Australian men are more romantic than their female counterparts? An interesting statistic figure states that 58% of men splurge on buying greetings cards as opposed to a thin percentage of just 41% women.    My husband says ‘of course we are’…
