Did
you know that less than half of Filipinos are fully satisfied with the
Valentine’s Day gifts they received based on the survey conducted online? Hmmm…
Curiosity strikes, huh? Kindly read on.
In
an online survey of over 300 respondents, only a third (36%) of Filipinos are
really happy with their Valentine’s Day gifts. Less than half (46%) said that
they were satisfied while 3% expressed absolute dissatisfaction. The survey,
conducted by Lazada (www.lazada.com.ph), explored the processes and reasons for
the lack of contentment over Valentine’s Day gifts.
Avoid Cliché’s but Never
Forget the Essentials
Almost
one in four respondents (23%) expressed that chocolates and couple’s shirts are
cliché, but the most cliche gifts are picture frames with over 40% of people
agreeing they are passé.
On
the other hand, over 30% of respondents agree that flowers are a must have,
beating out chocolates (19%), stuffed toys (9.6%). Surprisingly, more and more
people (15%) see gadgets as an essential gift for the month of romance.
Ask and You Shall Receive
It
seems surprise gifts are falling out of fashion as an overwhelming 86% of
respondents prefer to express to their partners what they want. This
transparency between couples extends to finding deals. 65% of respondents said
they don’t mind sharing that they got their gifts on sale.
The
implicit learning is that if you get your partner the gift they want; it
doesn’t matter if you got it on discount.
Digital Love
The
survey also explored love in the digital space. Overtly expressing affection
over social media or “Online PDA” seems acceptable with 52% of respondents
saying they practice social media PDA themselves.
However,
when it comes to meeting love interests online, half of the respondents had hesitations
with online dating. 51% agreed with the statement: “Online shopping never hurt anyone, people do.” Talk about #hugot.
Love to Shop and Shop to
Love
As
our Valentine’s Day gifting habits evolve and improve, it is important for
Filipinos to discover more convenient and cost effective ways to find the
perfect gift. That’s why Lazada’s Valentine’s Day promo makes it the perfect
place to get the gifts your partner wants in ways you can easily afford. Visit www.lazada.com.ph or shop now via the
