MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – RetailMeNot, an online coupon company, compiled Valentine’s Day shopping data for this year. The data found that over one in three (61%) people in a relationship will be purchasing a gift for their partner this Valentine’s Day. The number is down from 69% in 2020.
However, the amount they are willing to spend nearly doubled from last year, with the average being $163 compared to last year’s $83. According to the site, Americans are willing to spend a little more if they have been in the relationship longer. If the pair have been dating for more than two years, the average a person would be planning to spend is $156. That number almost triples to $467 if the couple has been married for more than 10 years.

US Apple Stores begin return to in-store shopping, more locations reopening - 9to5Mac
Apple is reintroducing in-store shopping appointments at many US Apple Stores that have been operating as Express storefronts. Other temporarily-closed locations are reopening for pickup of online orders.
* * *
After months of reduced service and prioritizing pickups during a busy holiday season, your local Apple Store might look a bit closer to normal the next time you visit. Express storefronts — the shielded kiosks introduced ahead of the iPhone 12 launch and deployed at all but a dozen US stores — are disappearing almost as fast as they popped up. That means you'll soon be able to go inside and get hands-on time with products again.
