Valentine’s Day
Alternative gift ideas
Millions of people are set to spend
untold dollars on Valentine’s
Day gifts or experiences this
year. Data compiled by Infographic-
Plaza.com indicates that individuals
traditionally spend the most on jewelry,
a night out, fl owers, apparel, and
gift cards on Valentine’s Day. Fiftytwo
percent of people who buy Valentine’s
gifts will spend money on candy,
particularly chocolate.
Though tried and true gifts never
fail, those looking for something a little
different this Valentine’s day can
consider these alternatives.
Traditional: Candy/chocolate
Alternative: Baked goods
Bite-sized baked offerings can be a
welcome change to boxed chocolates or
chocolate-covered strawberries. Consider
petit fours, which are tasty layered
cakes about one to two inches in
size. The popular franchise Nothing
Bundt Cakes also offers Bundtinis™,
which are slightly smaller than cupcakes
and can be mixed and matched
in a variety of cake fl avors.
Traditional: Bouquet of roses
Alternative: Flowering plant
Even well-maintained cut bouquets
only last so long. A fl owering plant can
endure much longer. Beautiful interior
fl owering plants include African
violets, Bromeliads, Orchids, Peace
lilies, Amaryllis, Christmas cactuses,
and Jasmines.
Traditional: Dinner out
Alternative: Feed the needy
Civic-minded sweethearts may appreciate
the thought of donating the
time and money they might normally
spend on a restaurant meal by helping
to ensure needy children and adults
have access to hot meals.The Feeding
America network is a nationwide network
of food banks that secures and
distributes meals. Individuals can
learn more about volunteerism or how
to make donations at feedingamerica.

Traditional: Lingerie
Alternative: Time together
In a poll of more than 350 women,
Business Insider discovered that lingerie
was one of the gifts women did not
want to receive on Valentine’s Day. In
fact, 97 percent of respondents weren’t
fans of receiving lingerie on Valentine’s
Day. Spending time together doing
something couples are passionate
about may be more well-received.
