Crazy Valentine Day stats -

15% of U.S. women send themselves flowers on Valentine's Day

About 1 billion Valentine's Day cards are exchanged each year. That's the largest seasonal card-sending occasion of the year, next to Christmas

About 3% of pet owners will give Valentine's Day gifts to their pets

In the United States, 64 percent of men do not make plans in advance for a romantic Valentine's Day with their sweethearts.

In Victorian times it was considered bad luck to sign a Valentine's Day card.

Only the U.S., Canada, Mexico, France, Australia and the U.K. celebrate Valentine's Day.

Teachers will receive the most Valentine's Day cards, followed by children, mothers, wives, and then, sweethearts. Children ages 6 to 10 exchange more than 650 million Valentine's cards with teachers, classmates, and family members.
