Top Gifts for your valentine Valentine's Day is an opportunity to show the ones you love just how much you care about them. This is achieved through various gestures, including giving heartfelt gifts. Research from Business Insider found that 51 percent of Americans now celebrate Valentine's Day. People are still spending big bucks on making Valentine's Day spe- cial. The National Retail Federation indicates Americans spent more than $20.7 billion on the holiday in 2019 and forecasters predict similar spending in 2020. Ever y Valentine's Day, certain gifts emerge as the most popular. While certain gifts are common, there are ways to make them seem fresh and exciting. Here are some ideas for Valentine's Day gifting. FLOWERS The National Retail Federation estimates that people spend around $2 billion on flowers for gifts. While roses are much sought after, thinking outside the bouquet can produce unique results. Choose different blooms, per- haps a loved one's favorite flower or something regional. Potted plants also will last longer than cut flowers, giving them more staying power. Skip bouquets in favor of ta- ble centerpieces, which can be eye-catching. JEWELRY Gifting jewelr y can be tricky because it is such a per- sonal gift that must tie into a sweetheart's style. It may be tempting to go with something large and flashy or full of diamonds, but a better option is to take inventor y of what your loved one wears on a daily basis and tr y to mimic the size and scope in your gift. Other thoughtful jewelr y gifts include understated pendant necklaces or bracelets engraved with key dates or the names of their children. Colored gemstones in lieu of diamonds also may be a striking choice. CHOCOLATES AND CANDY Roughly $1.8 billion is spent on candy each Valentine's Day, says the National Retail Federation. A box of choc- olates certainly can fit the bill, but other options abound. Perhaps a sweetheart has a favorite candy that recalls his or her childhood or prefers a chocolate maker from his or her hometown. Purchase those items to add a bit of nostalgia. Make the holiday magical by setting up a candy bar right at home, where your sweetheart can pick and choose from candies displayed in eye-catching bowls and canisters. Another novel idea is to use candy molds to make your own sweet treats. Thoughtful Valentine's Day gifts can make the day even more special for sweethearts.
