“As Valentine’s Day approaches, we’re noticing that traditional gifts like flowers continue to be a timeless and popular choice among millennial men. However, they’re not the only ones spreading the love. Millennial women and Gen-Z are celebrating a multitude of non-romantic relationships, gifting for others as much as for themselves. Over the years, Valentine’s Day has transformed from a day centered solely on romance to a celebration of love in all its forms. As a result, customers on DoorDash are gifting a variety of people in their lives – from parents, siblings, friends, and even themselves.”
