celebrating their love. Some couples might celebrate with dinner at a nice restaurant, flowers,
chocolates or other presents. Some single people might put a post on social media about why
they hate 'V-Day' or maybe they just avoid it completely. But it's impossible not to know that
Valentine's is happening. And that's not surprising when over half of all Brits and Americans
celebrate Valentine's in some way.
For most of these romantic people, Valentine's Day means spending money. British people
spend much less than Americans. The average Brit spends £28.45, while the average American
spends $221.34 (approximately £170.81). Interestingly, in the UK, all three adult generations
are likely to buy something for Valentine's (around 68–69% of them).
