(WXYZ) — Love is in the air and on Valentine's Day, the age-old question is, what do you get your significant other?
According to the National Retail Federation, more than $14 billion will be spent for Valentine's Day gifts, and more than $4 billion will be spent on family members. 1/3 of Americans even plan on buying a gift for a friend.
Whether you're enjoying a romantic dinner or debating if a box of chocolates, flowers or a card is enough, I went out to find those thinking of their special someone.
"It's a love day, not only just with flowers but to love each other," Annie Foss said.
"The pressure, the fear when I go home. It's not that great," Jason Cummings said.
"They always say nothing, but she expects a little something. A little card, a little thing. I'm thinking about her just to say, 'I think you're pretty cool and I love you,'" George Gribbin said.
Sometimes it could be a last-minute rescue mission, just so you don't get in trouble.
"You better get it right. Right?" Cummings said.
"Not get a card, not get flowers, not do anything special. That would be a problem," Kendra Cook said.
"Please don't place your orders last minute. Do it early so everything will be done in a timely order," Foss said.
Loves comes in all shapes and sizes when it comes to gifts, but really, it's the thought that counts. Cheryl Hudson was picking out a few cards for those special in her life.
"I picked the cards that say, 'I really appreciate you as a person and I am really grateful that you're in my life," Hudson said.
"I just buy my wife stuff for Valentine's Day every year, a card, flowers and take her out for dinner," Ed Harpster said.
I also spoke with a love expert to find out what makes the perfect Valentine's Day gift.
"She may be appreciative of a handwritten card. People don't often understand that a handwritten note goes a long way," Erica Arrechea said.
