Sharing regarding the fact that many people often give money on Valentine’s Day, Mr. Tam An expressed: “In every different couple there will be “implicit rules”, depending on the needs of the insiders.
Some people like handmade gifts, some people like useful things in life, some people like decorative items, and there are also couples who feel satisfied with sending some money to let the other person choose the necessary items themselves. .
Choosing to send some money instead of a regular gift and judging it as pragmatic is not enough data to conclude.”
Agreeing with this idea, Pham Gia Hien shared: “I think giving money on Valentine is practical, not pragmatic. When adults love each other, they don’t care much regarding the form of the gift that they give. what they appreciate is the applicability of that gift.
For example, if you are too busy to choose a gift or you don’t know what your lover really likes (or likes too many things), why not give her some money to solve all her problems. above topic?
So, I think the line between reality and pragmatism is very thin, it’s only separated by an idea in each person’s head. You can’t tell if a person is pragmatic with just one gift.”

PhD student Tam An also added that: “Giving money on Valentine is often more acceptable in couples who understand each other’s needs and stay together long enough, because in a certain sense, money is still the main thing. sensitive subject, easily misunderstood, misinterpreted.
The same is sending some money, but someone will change it to make it more meaningful and less sensitive, for example transferring a meaningful number, arranging money into hearts, flowers, …”.
Nguyen Bach Duong (21 years old, Thanh Hoa) said: “Every Valentine’s Day, I receive a bouquet of flowers made of cash from my lover. This has become very familiar to me.
I have never thought that giving and receiving money on Valentine’s Day is an expression of pragmatism because to others, it may just be a meaningless amount, but for me, this gift is like a proof of affection. of the two of you through the Valentines.
More than that, with a gift that can make both of us happy, we don’t have to care regarding outside gossip and criticism that the gift is practical or not.”
