vdaygift.jpgYou may be thinking of reducing your Valentine's Day budget because of the economic recession, but somehow, you feel the occasion still calls for a special treat for you and your man.

In the US, the National Retail Federation foresees Valentine expenses to go down an average of $102.50 from last year's $122.98. Surveys also showed that couples are more likely to buy small tokens of affection than extravagant items.

 

We're curious: do you still expect your boyfriend to give you something expensive this Valentine's Day?
