Among the total women respondents, 34% of women chose gadgets, 19% went with perfumes and 16% opted for  accessories for their Valentines.

Valentine’s day celebrations should not be mistaken for just boyfriend-girlfriend thing, married couples are far better prepared for this day when compared to unmarried couples. 41 % of married men pre-plan for Valentine’s Day as compared to 31 per cent unmarried men, as per the survey. This is the time of the year the brands look forward to, as it comes with the largest peaks for the brands in terms of traffic and sales.
