Statistics say it is all about flowers, cards, chocolate, or more specifically about spending money!
Valentine's Day is the #1 holiday for the floral market.
Valentine's Day is the #2 largest holiday for greeting cards.
Valentine's Day is the 4th biggest holiday for confectionary purchases.
Remember in grade school when we sent those little cards and were so thrilled to get some back? And those chalky candy hearts with little sayings on them like "be mine"?
Don't fall under the retail pressure, don't be in the crowd at the store at the last minute just to CYA. Just let those you love know it!
Oops - gotta go, I hope the candy and cards are not all gone...
