However, it appears that men know specifically what to buy, apart from jewelry. There was an increasing number of searches for “online flower shop” (200%) and “cryogenic roses” (160%). After all, women do like flowers, don’t they? Let alone flowers are cheaper than jewelry.

“Orders for Valentine’s Day have already begun in some flower shops. The most requested are the bouquets of red roses, with up to a thousand threads. If you want, you can also choose the option in which a specialist comes to decorate your house, for the price of 4,000 lei” declared the manager of a flower e-commerce website.

Restaurants reservations are also quite popular during Valentine’s in Romania. It’s obviously a win-win situation for customers and restaurant owners alike.

“We offer discounts for couples on Valentine’s. It’s such a pity we cannot have more than 30% capacity occupied, as we got much more reservations we had to turn down. Anyway, it’s a good opportunity for us to minimize the losses from pandemic, and a good opportunity for the loving couples to spend a nice and romantic evening with us” tells Madame B. – Pancakes & Tea House manager for Valahia News.

Although Romanians have their own traditional Valentine`s day (Dragobete, on February 24), the American version gained more popularity in the last years. Accessories, flowers, reservations for romantic dinners at the restaurant or weekend vacation are in the top of Romanians’ preferences for Valentine’s Day.
