Last updated: January 14th, 2021 Published on: January 25, 2019To see if men have the upper hand at being the most romantic gender, or if the ladies are sending more flowers this year, we’ve created a tool to tell our customers who sends the most cards, flowers or alcohol at Valentine’s Day, the yearly celebration of love and romance.
According to www.statista.com, the average spend on Valentine’s gifts has increased every year since 2015, with an estimated £650 million spent in 2018.
