Valentine’s Jewellery Wishes not Fulfilled.

Valentine’s Day should be a time for love, but many women will be left disappointed as their men shop on autopilot,a new survey reveals.

Pebble London quizzed 131 male and 172 female Valentine’s shoppers to pitch their expectation against reality. Most male shoppers were buying gifts without thought, with 49% admitting to rushing at the last minute to pick something up. In addition, 24% said they were buying the same or similar to last year. Just 27% had thought about the gift they were buying. Women were more considered, with just 15% rushing to buy and 65% having thought about the perfect gift.

With expectations running high, the results could spell trouble. The survey revealed that 74% of men thought their partners put too much importance on Valentine’s Day, (compared to only 16% of women). Men felt urged to buy; 34% saying how much they spent would be under scrutiny. However, a whopping 76% of women said that a bit of thought was all they wanted from a Valentine’s Day gift. Just 7% saw the cash value as important.

Despite all this, Men felt that they made more of an effort than women. When asked if they topped their partners romantic efforts, 65% of male respondents said they did, while 16% admitted less effort and 19% said it was equal. Just 11% of women thought their partners made more effort than they did, although 36% felt it was equal.

When it came to what to buy, women most wanted a romantic night away (20%) but only 4% got one. Jewellery was the next favourite (18%) but only 9% received it. Flowers and lingerie seemed to be on the button with around 15% wanting and receiving flowers and around 10% getting and wanting sexy underwear.

Men were offering a dinner date (20%) and stuffed animals (16%) in their top three gifts but just 12% wanted dinner and a meagre 3% craved cuddly toys. Around half of men and women said they would spend a little less during the credit crunch.
