Time is of the essence – well, that depends if you are male or female! According to the US Census Bureau, there are 120 single men in their 20’s for every 100 women of the same age group. Now, for the scary part – this figure diminishes to 33 single men for every 100 women by the time you are 65 or older (these figures are for people who have never been married). So, time is running out…..Guys – these ladies have so much choice when they’re young so you make sure you get them something very special this Valentine’s Day…..and Ladies – as time goes by, your chances of being with Mr. Right are lowering, so nab him this year with a gift that will blow his socks (or any other part of his clothing) off!

You know we are just joking! If humans lived by, and completely trusted statistics, then you would know that more than 1 in every 4 people have a mental illness or in the time it has taken to read this – you have blinked 5 times, 87 babies were born and Macdonald’s just sold 2242 chicken sandwiches! What about the fact that teachers get more Valentine’s cards than anyone else or that you use more calories eating celery than there are in the celery itself- or how about this one: 97% of statistics are made up!!!
In doing the research for this Valentine’s Day article, we found that there are many people in the world who are Anti-Valentine’s Day – in fact, there is even a movie called “I Hate Valentine’s Day” (it is quite ironic because it is a romantic comedy) but anyway, the sentiment is that everyone knows that Valentine’s Day is a money-making holiday created by the card companies. This is probably true, but it more of a marketing phenomenon as they sell over 1 billion cards Valentine’s Cards annually! They are even catching onto this new Anti-Valentine-movement and selling cards with sayings like: Love is for losers and Cupid rhymes with stupid. Marketing is all about needs, isn’t it? Here’s an article with some advice for how to spend Valentine’s Day if you hate it – with tips like: avoid being in public places; watch horror movies at home; have a macho drink (no romantic drinks like cocktails or champagne!).
For everyone else, we have some ideas for Valentine’s Day:
1.) Valentine’s Day should not be the only day you spoil the one you love. Love is something you work on and does not need to necessarily come in the form of a card or present. Things like a home-cooked candlelight dinner or a surprise picnic can mean more that an elaborate gift. Cards that are hand-made or in the form of a love letter are much more sentimental.
2.) Lovers could buy some lingerie (for yourself or your love) or our Dirty Sexy Honey Hamper is perfect for an evening of alone time with essentials like champagne, bath foam, love cuffs and massage oil. In this crazy rushed world, quiet time spent together is a rare gift. A weekend away (since Valentine’s Day falls on a Sunday) is also a great idea this year!
3.) You can always go for the usual clichés: Red roses from our partner website: Simply Flowers or Jewellery: ever met a lady who didn’t love diamonds?
4.) It is always wonderful to surprise the one you love or to send something anonymously (to keep the options open – or to give something to a friend or colleague).
