Men Most Likely to Give But Not Receive on Valentine's Day
VIENNA, Va.-- A new national survey by the National Confectioners Association revealed that only 6 percent of men receive Valentine's Day gifts despite the fact that men spend double what women spend during the February holiday.
In fact, individually, men on average dole out more than $130 for candy, cards and other luxuries as Valentine's Day gifts. As a result, NCA has named men "America's Biggest Sweethearts" this Valentine's Day.
NCA's survey revealed that children "eat up" Valentine's Day, receiving the most candy and gifts, 39 percent. It was also discovered that mothers and wives hand out one-third of Valentine's Day presents and in return unwrap 36 percent of all holiday gifts, a close tie with their children.
In fact, the findings indicate that on Valentine's Day children and mothers/wives are six times more likely to receive gifts than anyone else in their family, including men and some family pets.
