Of the 13% who choose not to celebrate Valentine's Day, their reasons vary from "it leaves out those who are not in a relationship" (31%) to "it limits celebrating romance to just one day" (30%), "it is commercialized" (29%), "places are too crowded to celebrate" (13%) and "it is too pricey to celebrate" (10%). <br><br>For those who do celebrate Valentine's Day, 79% of them spend it with their significant other -- nothing surprising there. Although, it was interesting that 31% of them celebrate the holiday with their children, compared to parents (18%), girl friends (16%), both girl and guy friends (13%), siblings (12%), relatives (7%), and guy friends (4%). <br><br><strong>Save your DIY gifts for another holiday. Women want to be pampered on Valentine's Day.<br></strong><br>When asked about the types of gifts they like to receive on Valentine's Day, 71% of the women surveyed revealed they would like to receive a pampering gift (70%) compared to a physical gift (63%), experiential gift (39%), or a DIY gift (33%). Only 2% of women revealed they do not like to receive gifts on Valentine's Day. <br><br>Almost two-thirds of the women surveyed think that $21 - $100 is an appropriate range of money to spend on Valentine's Day. Here is the full price range breakdown: $0: 1.22%, $1-$10: 2%, $11-$20: 7%, $21-$50: 29%, $51-$100: 36%, $101-$200: 17%, $201-$300: 4%, $301-$400: 1%, $401-$500: 1%, $501-$1,000: 1%, Over $1,000: 1%. <br><br><strong>Cosmetics/grooming is American women's most wanted gift. <br></strong><br>When asked about what they specifically want for Valentine's Day, the women surveyed revealed cosmetics/grooming products were their top gift choices. Although not commonly associated with Valentine's Day, cosmetics/grooming products as the most wanted gifts reflect a cultural shift in what is acceptable as "romantic" gifts. More traditional gifts associated with the holiday such as dining out or flowers came in second and third respectively for overall number of votes received.<br><br>State by state breakdown: <br>AK Fragrance <br>AL Cosmetics/Grooming<br>AR Flowers<br>AZ Cosmetics/Grooming<br>CA Cosmetics/Grooming<br>CO Dining out<br>CT Cosmetics/Grooming<br>DC Dining out<br>DE Chocolate and candy<br>FL Cosmetics/Grooming<br>GA Cosmetics/Grooming<br>HI Flowers<br>IA Dining out <br>ID Clothing and shoes<br>IL Cosmetics/Grooming<br>IN Chocolate and candy<br>KS Dining out<br>KY Dining out<br>LA Spa and wellness<br>MA Chocolate and candy<br>MD Cosmetics/Grooming<br>ME Jewelry<br>MI Dining out<br>MN Flowers<br>MO Chocolate and candy<br>MS Cosmetics/Grooming<br>MT Fragrance <br>NC Cosmetics/Grooming<br>ND Electronics/Gadgets<br>NE Cosmetics/Grooming<br>NH Spa and wellness<br>NJ Dining out <br>NM Flowers<br>NV Cosmetics/Grooming<br>NY Cosmetics/Grooming<br>OH Flowers<br>OK Cosmetics/Grooming<br>OR Cosmetics/Grooming<br>PA Flowers<br>RI Flowers<br>SC Dining out <br>SD Engagement ring<br>TN Cosmetics/Grooming<br>TX Cosmetics/Grooming<br>UT Clothing and shoes<br>VA Cosmetics/Grooming<br>VT Dining out <br>WA Cosmetics/Grooming<br>WI Bag/Purse/Wallet<br>WV Dining out <br>WY Chocolate and candy<br><br>These are some of the key findings from an Influenster survey conducted from Jan 13 - 23, 2017, with a total of 6,899 completes and a sample of 6,899 users across all ages (18-24: 47%; 25-34: 38%; 36-44: 11%, 45-54: 3%; 55+: 1%) with heavy social media usage (On 2+ social media channels: 99%).

The way to a mother's heart isn't necessarily from laboring over a handmade present after all. Only 1% of moms said that they don't like to receive gifts on Mother's Day. <br><br>Surprisingly, young moms would prefer if their spouses (83%) showed their appreciation with gifts on Mother's Day above all other people in their lives -- children (79%), parents (19%), friends (15%), relatives (13%) and siblings (10%). That might be because a good portion of this generation of mothers have kids that are still too young to shower them with gifts. <br><br><strong>Beauty, spa & wellness and kind gestures triumph flowers as gifts. </strong><br>Consistent with trends from recent years, flowers are no longer as desired by this generation of American moms. When young mothers were asked about what they specifically wanted for Mother's Day this year, the gift that emerged as the top gift for the most number of states is cosmetics. California, Indiana, North Carolina, New Mexico, Texas, Washington and West Virginia are the seven states that had young moms setting their eyes on beauty products this Mother's Day. <br><br>Spa & wellness and kind gesture (like cleaning the dishes or sweeping the floor) tied as runner-ups for top Mother's Day gifts across the country. Spa & wellness was notably not a favorite anywhere in the South and kind gesture was not appreciated as a top gift in the Northeast. Interestingly, Hawaii was the only state that preferred athletic wear, Maryland was the only state that favored travel, New Hampshire was the only state that desired events and South Dakotan moms were the only ones who wanted DIY gifts.
