Valentines Day

With Valentines Day being a day to express love and happiness for your significant other. “Words of love [can] appeal to all”(The Daily Gazette 2/14/06 pg A7). Many people from around the country are not only purchasing candy and flowers for that special someone, but they are also purchasing cards that show how much love they have for them and according to hallmark that love seems to universal and the same where ever you go. Results from a resent survey that Hallmark carried out shows that the “V330-5 one of the thousands of options that Hallmark offered last year was [the] top choice of consumers in New York and Los Vegas”.(The Daily Gazette 2/14/06 A7). 

In my opinion who really cares about Valentines Day and how many of a particular card are being purchased. Although it can be seen as fascinating that many people would purchase the same card and give it to the person they really love. In my opinion Valentines Day is highly over rated and is just another way for the card, chocolate and flower industry to improve business for a few days out of the year.
