Depending on your view… either love is in the air on Valentine’s Day, or we’re all victims of a commercial construct to push us to pay money to demonstrate our affection. So let’s see how much you’re planning to spend. Please estimate your total spend for Valentine’s and all related activities (incl presents, special dinners, outings, trips etc).

We try to use technology to limit voting to one per person. Occasionally, this may erroneously block a few people's votes (eg, from shared offices). Apologies for that.
