\"\"<\/a>Everyone loves Valentine’s Day. Well … almost everyone.<\/p>\n

To prove it, here are a some fond financial facts and strange trivia about Valentine’s Day that you can whisper into your lover’s ear while you’re cuddling by the fireplace this February 14th. Or not.<\/p>\n

1, Valentine’s Day is big business. In fact, according to the National Retail Federation<\/a>, Americans are expected to spend almost $20 billion this year on everything from candy and flowers to romantic dinners and lingerie.<\/p>\n

2. More to the heart of the matter, the average Don Juan spent $85.21 in 2017 on the object of his affection — and another $48.37 on others.<\/p>\n

3. According to the latest US Census Bureau data, there were 2.1 million marriages in 2009 alone. Of those, 108,000 were performed in Nevada; it’s unknown how many were officiated in Sin City by an Elvis impersonator at the Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel<\/a> — but if you’re interested, prices start at $275.<\/p>\n

4. The Census Bureau also notes that one out of five people like getting married<\/a> so much they end up doing it again with somebody else; 1 in 20 take a trip down the aisle three times or more.<\/p>\n

5. Thirty-five percent of all celebrants bought flowers in 2017 for their truelove, spending $1.8 billion. Maybe that’s why the latest census data shows that there are 17,124 florists in America.<\/p>\n

6. Oh sure, you can easily find a florist in places like Valentine, Nebraska and Romeo, Michigan. Somewhat ironically though, you’ll be hard-pressed to find even one flower shop in Loving, New Mexico or Rose City, Texas.<\/p>\n

7. As you might expect, the most popular Valentine’s Day gift in America last year was candy. In fact, 50% of all romantics will spent $1.7 billion on the stuff in 2017. Still, that’s more than a half billion dollars less than folks typically spend on Halloween candy<\/a> every year.<\/p>\n

8. Don’t feel too bad if you didn’t know that the first Valentine’s Day chocolate box was introduced in 1868 by Richard Cadbury. You’ve got some explaining to do, however, if you didn’t know he’s the same guy who founded the Cadbury chocolate company.<\/p>\n

9. And while candy may be dandy, according to the online men’s magazine AskMen, if you’re looking to score major points with your sweetie, your best bet is jewelry, followed by: couples dance lessons; a spa massage gift certificate; a jewelry box; and perfume.<\/p>\n

10. No doubt that explains why more people than ever are expected to buy gold jewelry<\/a> and other shiny finery for their steadies this Valentine’s Day; 19% to be exact. And they’ll spend $4.3 billion doing it.<\/p>\n

11. The most popular jewelry<\/a> item in the US is the solitaire engagement ring. That’s followed by wedding bands, diamond earrings, strings of pearls, and heart-pendant necklaces.<\/p>\n

12. Then again, what do us men know? According to a poll by iVillage, a website firmly geared toward the fairer sex, when it comes to tangible Valentine’s Day gifts, more women said they would prefer a romantic dinner over anything else, apparently including jewelry. Uh huh. I have trouble buying that one too.<\/p>\n

13. Whatever you do, fellas, just make sure you get something. That same poll found 8 out of 10 women were definitely expecting a gift on Valentine’s Day.<\/p>\n

14. The good news is the ladies don’t expect their men to break the bank; 86% said they’d be happy with a gift under $55. Yes, technically, “free” is<\/em> under $55.<\/p>\n

15. Of course, if you’re one of the 3% of pet owners who will be spending $4.44 on their furry friends this Valentine’s Day, giving a gift to your sweetheart that doesn’t cost anything probably isn’t such a good idea.<\/p>\n

16. At the very least, you should probably get your Romeo or Juliet a Valentine’s Day card, or even a Valentine’s Day eCard. You certainly won’t be alone; America will spend $1.1 billion on them this year.<\/p>\n

17. According to the US Greeting Card Association, over 190 million greeting cards are exchanged in the United States on Valentine’s Day — and one billion worldwide. Only Christmas is more popular.<\/p>\n

18. Speaking of Valentine’s greetings, the first is credited to poet Geoffrey Chaucer, who wrote in 1382:<\/p>\n

“For this was on seynt Volantynys day, w<\/em>han euery bryd comyth there to chese his make.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I know. By the way, there’s absolutely no truth to the rumor that Chaucer later applied for a job at Hallmark, only to be ingloriously passed over because the poor chap couldn’t spell<\/a>. Well … at least I don’t think there isn’t.<\/p>\n
