Valentine's Day is not just a day for romantic love between partners, but also a day to show appreciation for friends and loved ones, including family. Chocolate might be the first thing that comes to mind as a gift, but that's not exactly what you think.

Survery shows

According to a survey conducted by Demoskop on behalf of Aftonbladet, women most want dinner, physical affection, flowers, and experiences. Chocolate, which was popular in the past, has only received 4% approval from those surveyed.

More people celebrate Valentine's Day

The trend is also that more people want to celebrate Valentine's Day, with the number increasing from 43% planning to celebrate to 48% doing so. Among singles, it's also popular to celebrate Galentine's Day as a sign of friendship, as well as Self-love Day, which focuses on loving oneself and treating oneself to something special.

Regardless of how you celebrate, spread love on Valentine's Day!
