Now go give something sweet to someone that is a little sweet.And here's some fun facts brought to you by the NCA!
A new national survey available at www.candyusa.org has revealed that on average men shell out $130 each on candy, cards, jewelry, flowers and dates. That's more than double what women commit to spending. By far men are spending the most; yet only receiving 6 percent of all Valentine's Day gifts! Therefore, in honor of Valentine's Day 2007, the NCA has named men "America's Biggest Sweetheart." While men may open their wallets wide on Valentine's Day, NCA's national survey found that it's children who really 'eat up' Valentine's Day, receiving 39 percent of all holiday candy and gifts. The survey also found:
Mothers/Wives give out 33 percent of gifts, receive 36 percent of all holiday gifts
Fathers/Husbands give out 25 percent of gifts, receive 6 percent of all gifts
Grandparents give out 9 percent of gifts, receive 3 percent of gifts
Pets give out and receive only 1 percent of all gifts (I'm sure it's more revieve than give / ED)
A majority of men (53 percent) admit that they lean on friends and family to find the perfect present for their sweetheart while 11 percent look to co-workers, 10 percent ask the cashier and 7 percent consult the World Wide Web.
When it comes to present time, women prefer a gift after a nice dinner, while most men prefer gifts first thing in the morning.
American men and women agree that the most romantic place to share candy is in front of the fireplace.
