Valentine’s Day: Hotels.com reveals city break is Brits favourite gift
A survey by Hotels.com found that a third of Brits confess they have only remembered at the very last minute to buy a Valentine’s Day gift.
In this case, last minute really is cutting it fine with almost half (43%) only remembering either on the day itself or the day before, on 13 February.
Before scrambling for heart-shaped jewellery or trying to find a dinner reservation, why not get something your loved one really wants?
Hotels.com has revealed that the most popular Valentine’s Day gift for Brits is in fact a city break holiday. This ranked way higher than jewellery and fancy dinners.
Brits would rather a city break instead of a gift
