Who’s the Most Romantic at Valentine’s Day?

To 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.

As a breakdown, we’ve looked into the main categories to see who may be buying the most. We’ve discovered that men send 81% of flowers on this special day, whilst women (71%) are the ones who send the most cards. The top senders for each across the UK are revealed as follows.
