Valentine’s Day is around the corner. Will this be another holiday where our shrinking wallets speak?! Are you planning to celebrate? Will you be spending less this year?
More than last year (12.0%)
Less than last year (30.5%)
The same as last year (40.7%)
Nothing. I never buy gifts for Valentines Day. (16.7%)
This year is the first time I will really be in a relationship on Valentine's Day :) I have no idea what to do for my boyfriend! He is currently in school and we are both a little strapped for money but I would still like to do something. Any suggestions???
I will buy cards and a little something special for each of our two kids and my husband. We are expecting, so we will probably do a nice, quiet dinner in one of our favorite restaurants and not stay out too late. We'll probably spend around $150 on everything. A little more if he buys me flowers like I've hinted at!
I am one of those unlikely people that loves Valentine's Day, regardless of my relationship status. But this year I have someone very special to spend it with and am looking forward to the romantic side of the holiday! And it gives me a reason to shop :-) Doing my part to help boost the economy!
Actually, this year since times are getting a little harder everyday, I plan to make my husband something for Valentine's Day. I can always make cute little cupcakes or something that both my son and my husband can enjoy.
I'm having a baby and my due date is 2 days after Valentine's Day, so I'm not sure exactly what we will do to celebrate the day because I may be in labor or be a mommy by then.
We are broke, so nothing is probably the best gift right now. I'm hoping for a backrub without expectations, but ya know how that goes...it'll never happen. :)
I was widowed a year and a half ago and haven't ventured out into the cruel dating world yet so I don't have anyone to buy for romantically. I do send all the grandchildren Valentine cards with a gift card included. I collect free or low priced cards all along so I usually have gift cards for free movie rentals, music downloads, or I buy fast food gift certificates, etc. Since all my granchildren live far away from me it is a way to make sure they remember they have a grandmother.
Usually get my nieces & nephews, cards & candy
valentines day is a fake holiday created by greeting card companies. i am single, but if i had a companion i would simply want to designate the day to spend some quality time together doing something that we both enjoy but dont get a chance to do normally because of hustle and bustle of every day life. that is the best gift. making memories are priceless. :)
I think i am going to spend less than last year because i will try to create a romantic park like picnic setting inside my home using party style themed items and creating a romantic like picnic menu without worrying if the weather will cooperate.
