Giving from the Heart
Each year on Valentine’s Day, hundred of flowers, candy and cards are exchanged between loved once. It is estimated that:
- 224 million roses are grown specifically for Valentine’s Day
- $1.6 billion will be spent on candy
- 6 million people will propose
- 151 million cards will be exchanged
- $4.4 billion will be spent on diamonds, gold and silver
