The Most Expensive Valentine’s Day Gift List of 2010 – A Definitive List of Valentine’s Day Gifts

Whether Americans like to admit it or not, we all have a bit of the hopeless romantic in our hearts. With love in the air, Americans find it irresistible to flaunt their affection. Jim Trippon, CPA and one of America’s foremost authorities on the money habits of self-made millionaires, has released his ultimate Valentine’s Day gift list to wow his significant other this holiday season. .

According to the National Retail Federation, Americans are expected to spend a staggering $14.1 billion this Valentine’s Day. This year, retailers are not only focusing on gifts for loving couples, but also gifts for our co-workers, friends, and even our little furry companions. That’s right, Americans are likely to spend 50% more this year on their pets than they did last year.

In general, consumers are focusing more on quality than quantity. The average American looks for thoughtful little gifts, but for those of you looking to go above and beyond, Jim Trippon has put together an incredible list.

“Every year it seems like Americans outspend on Valentine’s Day,” says Trippon, “I think people should focus less on how much they’re spending and more on the quality of the gift. Find something to enjoy together!”
