All you need is love? Apparently not as we expect carefully chosen gifts for Valentine's Day

Jan. 28, 2015 - PRLog -- Although never wanting to end up in your partner’s proverbial doghouse, Valentine’s Day may be the worst possible day for such feud. And as we’re about to fork out a total of around £1.3bn in the run-up to Valentine’s day*, what are the no-no gifts out there?

To provide a helping hand, in a recent survey by online shopping service Flubit.com, (https://www.flubit.com/) it was revealed that her ‘nightmare’ gifts include tickets to watch his favourite football team, followed by gymmembership and cheap perfume. Petrol station flowers also ended up at one ofthe top spots (14%) on the gift list of shame, so be aware!

The survey also revealed that one fifth of men (20%) would most likely bin a box set of her favourite TV box set (sorry, Kardashians!), closely followed by a self-help book (17%) and a tracking device (16%). However, it also appears that men do appreciate things their partners made themselves with only 3% saying that they consider something handmade to be a rubbish gift. The same doesn't go for the ladies as nearly two thirds (63%) expect 'shop' bought presents or experiences.

Bertie Stephens, co-founder and CEO of Flubit.com said: “To avoid any potential slip ups this Valentine’s Day, it’s important to plan ahead and to stay clear of ‘selfish’ presents, as our research reveals.

“Flubit.com is all about helping to make Valentine’s Day cheaper for UK consumers by creating better offers on products they actually want – instead of finding whatever’s cheap in the “virtual bargain bin”, you can get a personalised price on the perfect gift.
