Scaled-back Valentine’s Day … A new survey shows almost half of Americans are planning a budget‑friendly Valentine’s Day this year. The good news? You don’t need to splurge to make it meaningful — 87% think inexpensive gifts can be just as special. Practical presents are especially popular, with many saying they feel even more thoughtful than traditional romantic ones. That said, 39% of people in relationships said they had no idea what to get their partner for Valentine’s Day this year.
Speaking of which …
Don’t mess up Valentine’s Day … Valentine’s Day is on Saturday. Are you ready? A survey found that 25% of people would break up with their partner over a bad Valentine's Day gift. But, according to the survey, it’s not about the price tag. People prefer sentimental gifts like homemade cards or romantic experiences over luxury items.
