Love is in the air, and Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! Are you ready to make it magical? A new survey reveals some interesting insights into what Americans crave for their perfect date.
Flowers and chocolates? Not always! While 41% favor classic gestures like flowers and gifts, a surprising 30% of Gen Z values sweet treats more. Desserts even reign supreme over the main course for 41%, highlighting the importance of a satisfying finale. Chocolate-dipped strawberries, cheesecake, and chocolate mousse top the dessert wishlist, but don’t underestimate the value of gifts you can wear (43%).
Homebody bliss or adventurous outing? 63% opt for going out, but 20% prefer cozy stay-at-home celebrations. Both options can be equally romantic, with an average spend of $114 for dining out and $86 for home dates.
So, what makes the perfect Valentine’s Day?
- Thoughtful beginnings: Start with flowers or a gift (41%) or get picked up (33%) for a touch of chivalry.
- Memorable experiences: Enjoy a delightful dinner (59%) or a cozy movie night (33%).
- Sweet ending: Indulge in delicious desserts (58% say it’s non-negotiable!), with chocolate-dipped strawberries holding the crown.
