Fun Things to Know1) About 196 million roses are grown for Valentine’s Day bouquets.
To give a more original (and longer lasting) gift, consider a potted plantor herb instead.
2) Forty-seven percent of Valentine gifts are candy. To burn off the1,050 calories in a box of chocolates, you’d need to go bowling for fivehours, walk for three hours or climb stairs for two hours.
3) The average person spends $116 each year on Valentine’s Day. A$116 investment with 8 percent interest over 25 years would earn $740.
4) Based on retail statistics, about 3 percent of pet owners will giveValentine’s Day gifts to their pets.
