When February nears, a menagerie of reds, pinks and whites abound in every retail store and Valentine’s Day ads fill your social feed. Though the holly and jolly Christmas season quite literally just passed, it’s now time to think about what you’ll be buying your S.O. this year.
The endless rotation of gift purchase after gift purchase can have you feeling burnt out and unsure of what a special gift even is anymore. Luckily, the Post Wanted team is here with a supreme list of the 50 best Valentine’s Day gifts to suit anyone on your list, be it a gift for your wife, husband, best friend or even yourself.
“In many ways, Valentine’s Day is still quite traditional,” Chris Beer, data journalist at GWI, exclusively shared with the New York Post. “Men are more likely to buy gifts, they spend more on their partners than women do and gifts like food and flowers remain popular. Men are also more likely to think the day is important than women are.”
