Illinois Residents Are Googling This More Than Any Other State

As much as you don't want to think about the next holiday approaching, you gotta think about it because it's important to your significant other: Valentine's Day.

Finding a gift, planning a date night, getting a babysitter, financially preparing to spend a lot of money... the list of "things to do" goes on and on if you procrastinate way too long.

Don't worry, most of us wait until the last minute to get our significant others a gift.

Sometimes, we're actually ahead of the holiday and pretty prepared.

No, seriously! Illinois ranked as one of the most prepared states for Valentine's Day.  We've been doing a LOT of research and googling the best restaurants, gifts to stay away from, and where the best vacations are to spend with our Valentine.

At #5, Illinois residents have been Googling "Valentine's Day" so much... right alongside Louisiana (#4), Pennsylvania (#3), Mississippi (#2), and West Virginia (#1).

On Friday, February 14th, many, many people around the country will be doing the exact same thing: Rushing to Walgreens, the gas station, and Target to find a quick bouquet of flowers that don't look like it's on its deathbed.

Don't be that person.  Put more thought into it!

Know your partner.  What's their favorite candy? What kind of food do they love? What's their favorite movie?  Is their hobby something you can experience together?  There are so many ways to show love.
