These Valentine's Day statistics and facts illustrate United States trends regarding flowers, cards, candy, and jewelry -- the classic Valentine's Day gifts. There is no definitive origin of Valentine's Day. It's possible that it was a Roman fertility festival. Another legend assigns the holiday to commemorate St. Valentine, a Roman clergyman. St. Valentine was executed on February 14, about 270 AD, for marrying couples against the mandate of the emperor.Regardless of the origin, the holiday is now entrenched in our culture. And if you think you aren't going to take part, beware: 53% of women in America would dump their boyfriend if they did not get them anything for Valentine's Day.
