Those of you who are on the In The Playroom Facebook page might remember I was asking for all your Valentines Day questions that you really wanted to have answered…
Well the results are now in! Thanks to Survey Bods
Is Valentine’s Day an important celebration for you?
To 45% of the UK population, Valentines remains an important day for them.
Did you know the story of St. Valentine and how the day came?
Only a quarter of the UK knows the full story behind Valentine’s Day, while a further 1/5 of the population has some idea of how Valentine’s Day came about.
How much money do you typically spend on your other half on Valentine’s Day?
Nearly a quarter (23%) of the UK population spend nothing on their love ones, while the majority of the population spends between £1 and £30. Some lucky people (4%) get over £100 spent on them.
What can you buy a male on Valentine’s Day other than flowers?
Nearly everyone suggested aftershave, chocolates (especially ‘manly’ ones with chilli and unusual flavours), game console games, DVD’s or clothes. One person suggested buying them a scratch card as something a little different.
Do you celebrate with any other members of your family? For example, parents or kids
Some parent’s spoil their children on Valentine’s Day, with over 15% celebrating the day with their family. 8% of the UK population also celebrate Valentine’s Day with their friends.
If you are in a relationship, how many years do you continue to celebrate the day for? (You might still celebrate it into yours 90’s!)
Some romantics (29%) out there would celebrate for however long they remained with their partners, even if that meant celebrating Valentine’s Day well into their 100’s! However, the majority of people would only celebrate it for the first 10 years or so (36%).

I’ve never really done Valenines day before – I think that every day should be a day to tell your spouse that you love them. This year though I have got caught up in baking and crafting, which led me to spending a more romantic valentines with my love. I can’t think of anything better x
I do think it can be nice just to have a moment to show you care, especially as normal life can get too hectic. We shouldn’t need Valentines Day but sometimes it’s a good reminder.
I can’t believe people think they’d just stop celebrating! That’s no fun! Why would you start off thinking that, it’s so negative 😀
Valentines day should always be made into something I think. We went to a local restaurant, and too many glasses of red and I loved it! 3 hours just us felt like a lifetime!
