valsnFeb 2, (THAINDIAN NEWS) With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, love birds across the world are gearing up to celebrate the day of love with their special someone. Valentine’s Day is synonymous with showering loved ones with gifts to express love on this special occasion. The reports released by United States Census Bureau highlights the significance of the Valentine’s Day in the lives of the average Americans.

The U.S. Census Bureau states that around 38 per cent of Americans celebrate the day of love by exchanging candies with their beloved. Although, health conscious individuals normally might just refrain from indulging in sweet delights, on Valentine’s day things are surely meant to be different.

However, if you do not really have a sweet tooth, then there are other options to choose from to impress the love of your life. One of the most traditional ways of celebrating Valentine’s Day is by showering the special someone with cards filled with love quotes. This is surely one of the most popular ways to express love for the beloved among Americans if U.S. Census Bureau reports are to be believed. The reports states that every year a whopping number of 180 million cards are exchanged between couples on this day.

Moreover, gifting jewelry also seems to be a popular option for the love birds, according to the U.S. Census Bureau report that states the sale of jewelry reached $2.2 billion on Valentine’s Day.

Meanwhile, the importance of Valentine’s Day for the Americans can be presumed from a recent report which claims that Americans spend an astounding $14.7 billion to celebrate the day of love.
