What Women Really Want This Valentine's Day–State by State
Sorry, greeting cards, you didn't make this list
Save those DIY gifts—women want nothing more than to be pampered this Valentine's Day! We surveyed 6,899 women to find out exactly what they want this February 14, and let's just say we weren't surprised at all! Here's what the ladies are wishing for this year—state by state.
No surprise—cosmetics and grooming items are American women's most wanted gift. Turns out, you really can win someone over with an eyeshadow palette or highlighter.
And, of course, more traditional gifts associated with the holiday such as dining out or flowers came in second and third, respectively. Who could possibly turn down a prix fixe menu and a bouquet of roses, after all?
As far as spending goes, almost two-thirds of the women surveyed think that $21-$100 is an acceptable amount to spend for the holiday. Pretty reasonable, right?
