Valentine’s Day, a perfect time to show appreciation for one’s significant other, sees record-breaking sales of gifting items, with a whopping $25.9 billion reportedly spent during the Day last year. Some of the top-selling products include candy, greeting cards, flowers, jewelry, clothing, and gift cards. But there are several gifts that inadvertently find their way back to the store after the celebration for various reasons. Here are some commonly returned items. Oversized stuffed toys Stuffed, cuddly toys like giant teddy bears or other stuffed animals are some of the most returned items post Valentine’s Day. While they are admirable, these presents occupy a lot of space in the house, are relatively impractical in terms of their use, and have little purpose in daily life. Not to mention, they are also incredibly generic and lack a personalized touch. So, unless explicitly requested, it’s best to steer clear of giant stuffed toys as a go-to Valentine’s Day present. Generic chocolates A heart-shaped box of chocolates or other uninspiring assortment of these sweets may be another most returned Valentine’s gift. With a lack of exciting flavors or any personalization, it often seems like a last-minute gift bought as an afterthought. To avoid this, one can explore local candy stores or gourmet brands and get an ensemble that offers the recipient’s preferred flavors and chocolates worth remembering and keeping.
