It's not in the giving of gifts where the issue lies....
Saint Valentin's day = DO SOMETHING CRAZY!
Of course you gonna think it's not very smart to give people advice on what to do for valentin's day five days after the actual day! Oh well, fair enough but trust me this can actually be done at any given date, whenever you feel like it. Have a look at this video and tell me if you too can do something crazy!
Got any gift ideas for Valentine's Day? We do. from Angel Mission on Vimeo.
I reckon Angel Mission had a fantastic idea here. They made a perfect use of a "famous" day in our calendar and turned it into a matter worth looking at. They found a perfect angle to make us think about our spending and actually show us with simple figures that we can change the world by a 5$ donation.
If you want to have a look at the website and donate 5$, it's here.
I still can't believe that for Valentin's day, in the US:
540 000 000$ is spent on creating cards 6.3 billion dollars is spent by americans on flowers
1 100 000 000$ is spent on chocolate
A total of 17 000 000 000$ is spent by americans in celebration of the Valentin's holiday!
