The 5 Valentine's gift mistakes

1. Generic flowers + chocolate combo. Default mode = forgettable.
2. Buying the wrong-color jewelry. Pay attention to whether your partner wears gold, silver, or rose-gold.
3. Forgetting the romantic anchor. Pick a song from a specific shared moment, not just a generic love song.
4. Waiting until February 13th. Custom orders need 5-7 days. Order by February 8th.
5. Skipping the handwritten card. Even with a $300 gift, the handwritten card adds 40% to the perceived sentiment.

How much to spend on Valentine's day

Established couples: $50-200. Newer relationships: $25-100. Engaged or married: $100-400.

What real customers say
