Shortly after the holiday decorations and lights have been stowed, bright red hearts, chocolate creations of every kind and super-sized stuffed animals make their annual appearance. Thoughtful reminders to show love to friends and family are everywhere, especially with prominent 14'x48' billboards sparking ideas for consumers during their daily commute.

 What's on the shopping list? According to a 2017 survey conducted by the National Retail Federation, the types of gifts that get top billing include: Candy, 49.7%; Greeting cards, 46.9%, An evening out, 36.6%; Flowers, 34.7%; Jewelry, 18.7%; Clothing, 18.5%; and Gift Cards at 15.8%. Gaining in popularity is the "gift of experience," which may include a massage, concert or sporting event tickets, a gym membership, or a romantic getaway.
