While Valentines Day was one of the few occasions not to be impacted by the pandemic last year, in 2021 it occurred during Englands third national lockdown, driving overall penetration to decline, as non-essential retailers were faced with enforced store closures. Since COVID-19 restrictions also meant that many consumers were unable to see their loved ones in person this year, they will have decided to forgo their Valentines Day purchases as a result, impacting retailers sales.
Scope
- Food & drink experienced a marginal decline in penetration for Valentines Day this year, falling by 0.8ppts, likely due to an increased proportion of consumers buying takeaways as a result of the COVID-19 restrictions.

- Although the overall proportion of consuminers buying cards fell to 59.9% this Valentines Day, digital cards grew by 2.6ppts to 3.4%, as they proved to be an attractive option for those celebrating the holiday apart due to the pandemics travel restrictions.
