Looking for a last-minute gift for Valentine’s Day? According to a new study by Princess Cruises, buying a trip for that special someone is a good bet. The cruise line partnered with Wakefield Research to survey 1,000 U.S. adults on their ideal Valentine’s Day gifts and activities, and found that a vacation (26%) was twice as popular as receiving flowers (13%).
The next-most-popular item was jewelry (11%) followed by chocolate (10%) and other gifts. When asked what their ultimate romantic vacation would be, the majority of respondents (55%) chose a cruise to the Caribbean. Another interesting result: nearly half (43%) of women surveyed would give up sex over chocolate for a week, while only 24% of men would do the same.
Additional survey findings included:
- The celebrity couple that most respondents would want to double date with is former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama (30%), followed closely by “The Voice” judges and music powerhouse couple Blake Shelton and his girlfriend, singer Gwen Stefani (23%)
- The majority of those surveyed (51%) would opt to renew their vows between 10 and 25 years of marriage
