This is the number of people who dont want anything for Valentines Day
This is the number of people who dont want anything for Valentines DayThis is the number of people who dont want anything for Valentines DayIts game time, ladies and gentlemen Valentines Day fast approaches. This is the holiday where you get to show someone you love them by paying $12 for a card theyll never read again, buying jewelry they wont even like and paying hundreds for a dinner thats probably so-so. Ah, the joys of love - get ready to dig into your coffers.Or dont. Because apparently, were not all as materialistic as you might think.No schadstoffs pleaseNewYouGov Omnibus dataindicates that 33% of Americans would not like to receive anything for Valentines Day. Among men, that number spikes to 41%, while women are a little mora into gifting - only one in four says shes not interested in being on the receiving end on V-day.And for those who do want a little somethin somethin to brighten up their Feb. 14, it seems clichs still reign supreme22% of people - 28% of women and 16 % of men - would like some chocolate or other candy, and 17% - 5% of men and 27% of women - are into flowers.Also, Hallmark has obviously done a number on us 23% of Americans want a card for Valentines Day, presumably dripping with all the sappy feelings we keep bottled up the rest of the year. So we are all sentimentalists in the end. Or maybe we just like bedazzled paper.Credit YouGovFor those hoping for candy or cards this February, theres good news 26% of Americans plan to give sweet treats to their Valentines, and 27% intend to (hopefully) write a few words to their loves (please dont just lean on the pre-written sentiment - thats the very definition of laziness). Then, 7% are planning to gift jewelry, and arent their cuddle buddies lucky?Love dont cost a thingBut Valentines Day doesnt have to break the bank to be romantic. A majority of Americans (53%) who plan to give V-day gifts say theyre likely to spend between $1 and $49.99 on the holiday in its entirety, and only 4% say theyll spend $200 or more. Even on a special night, there are still bills to pay the next morning.Plus, if youve got a real keeper, it wont matter if you get them anything for Valentines Day - though, you know, some flowers are always a nice touch.
