There are 257 million red roses sold for Valentine’s Day.
What’s interesting is that 53% of men think women want flowers.
While 37% of women expect to get flowers…
only 4% of women really want them.
(Maybe it’s time to get a little more creative in the gift-giving arena, guys…)
To their credit, men spend more than twice as much on Valentine’s Day as women
(men = $133 million, women = $56 million)
