Default What should you give to your beloved on Valentine's Day?

Valentine's Day is just around the corner... Which makes you think...

What should you get your beloved on that day?

I just read an interesting article about some interesting recent research...

Using surveys of students from San Francisco State University, researchers found that students who had bought themselves a material gift, were less happy about the purchase 3 months later than students who had bought themselves an experience...

That suggests that, for Valentine's Day, it's better to organize a candle-lit dinner (which is an experience) or go parachuting (another experience!), rather than buying your beloved a beautiful watch (which is a material gift)...

What do you think?

Here are a couple articles about this, if you would like to read them...
