2019 Australian Valentine's Day Survey
Brewquets is proud to bring you the 2019 Australian Valentine’s Day Survey – a study into the attitudes and behaviours of Australian couples towards Valentine’s Day. The report that follows is summary of a nationwide study of over 1,500 participants. It is the most robust, public study currently available about Valentine's Day trends in Australia.
Key findings from the research:
- 77% of couples plan to celebrate Valentine's Day, with 43% buying a gift for their other half.
- Those buying gifts will spend on average $90 on their Valentine.
- An expected $377 million is forecast to be spent on Valentine's gifts.
- The number one gift for men is expected to be alcohol, while for women it will be flowers.
- Almost half of all shoppers (47%) will use both online and offline channels for buying their Valentine's gifts.
- While half (54%) agree Valentine's Day still matters in long term relationships, just 24% expect to have sex on the day.
