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

[Dien Rice]

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...
