Cost

As people grow up, people have to tighten their pockets.

However, "no longer poor can not be poor love", at least in February 14th on Valentine's day in Britain.

The British Retail Association predicts that nearly half of the British people will buy gifts for sweethearts on Valentine's day, while men are more generous than women.

The first choice of the British people is flowers, while the price of flowers on Valentine's Day is 30 pounds per beam, which is likely to bring about 250 million pounds of income to merchants.

Secondly, chocolate is the most popular gift from the British, and the third place is chocolate dinner.

A survey of a UK tourism website shows that although the British economy is not strong in the past year, people on Valentine's Day

It is also expected to reach 880 million pounds, an increase over last year, and men will spend more than two times the cost of women.

When asked why men are so generous, most of them replied, "it's just that we spend too much money in the past 12 months and save money and save money to wait until Valentine's day to seize the opportunity to consume and express love."

According to the website's survey, 68% of men will spend 40 pounds on gifts this year, 4.4 pounds more than last year.

In general, British men spend 611 million pounds on this day, while women spend 269 million pounds.

Japan

Women give chocolates to men.

In Japan, there are women giving chocolates to men on Valentine's day.

The range of chocolate given to girls is broader, not only between lovers, between husband and wife, but also between supervisors, colleagues and customers.

According to Japanese media reports, an office worker should spend tens of thousands of yen on Valentine's day to buy a lot of chocolates.

Because of the economic downturn, women have to spend their money to keep their jobs and maintain relationships with their colleagues and customers.

Chocolate has a huge market, and chocolate can increase its price on Valentine's day.

A small chocolate is sold in Japan for 300 yen (about 21 yuan), and chocolate sales on Japanese Valentine's day account for about 1/4 of the whole year.

However, men who receive gifts can not relax. In March 14th every year, men who receive gifts will return gifts on "White Valentine's Day".

Gifts from Japanese office workers have become a tradition. In fact, this is the result of speculation.

As early as in 1936, a Western dim sum shop owner in Kobe and the Yi Shi Dan department store in 1958 made the promotional activities of Valentine's Day Chocolate sale, but it didn't work well. Until 1960, when the news system was launched, candy companies began to act positively, which made Valentine's day and chocolate become the traditional Japanese culture.

However, a Japanese Internet research firm showed that 70% of the female staff thought that "Valentine's Day was not necessary to send chocolate", and 50% of male employees agreed.

Some people say that this blessing has mixed too much commercial flavour. "Valentine's chocolate" has become "human chocolate", which is contrary to the real meaning of expressing emotion.

Roses are 3 times more expensive.

The US National Retail Federation says restaurants and chocolate retailers are expected to have a business opportunity of 17 billion 600 million dollars.

According to the data released by the alliance, every consumer in the United States expects to spend an average of $126 on Valentine's day, which is 8.5% more than that of last year's $116, thus creating the most generous record of US consumers in Valentine's day in the past 10 years.

The survey points out that men spend an average of 169 yuan, almost twice as much as women's 86 yuan.

Unlike in China, there is little commercial speculation on Valentine's day in the United States.
