Did you know that the custom of sending valentine cards dates back to the 17th century?
Probably shouldn't wait any longer to visit your favorite card shop if you hope to find a good selection of Valentines. There were only a handful of folks at Hallmark yesterday afternoon for which I was thankful. Buying cards of any description is always stressful for me since I can't be satisfied to not look at every card on display---very time consuming.
A recent news article cited a report based on a survey of 8,850 consumers. Numbers indicate that this year 35-44 year olds plan to spend the most with an average of $119.19 and 55-64 year olds plan to spend the least with an average of $83.76. The same report states that 36% will buy flowers and 16% jewelry; 43% will dine out.
Total Valentine's Day spending is projected to be about $14.7 billion (yes, that's billion with a "b").
Enjoy the day, however you choose to celebrate.
