Lingerie – the perfect antidote to the V-Day crunch
If you’re single, February 14th may be a day to dread, as loved up couples suddenly appear from everywhere.
However, research from Abbey Banking suggests that many people who are in a relationship may be dreading it too, albeit for different reasons.
According to the firm, 39 per cent of would-be cupids will be spending less this V-Day as they try to avoid the stretch on their finances.
Five million people said they will cook their loved one a romantic meal at home instead of eating out in expensive restaurants.
However, one way to avoid splashing out while still having fun is to opt for lingerie.
This will be relatively inexpensive and will allow people to spend some quality time together, rather than having to queue up for food with several thousand other couples.
Sarah Peters, analyst at Verdict, said in an article for the Retail Bulletin that she agrees.
“Valentine’s Day provides the perfect opportunity for couples to take some time out and treat a partner to some glamorous new underwear,” she commented, adding that the internet is a perfect option for those who may be too embarrassed to enter a lingerie store.
Indeed, the Times of Malta states that all V-Day gifts should either be soft toys, lingerie, roses or truffles.
