With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, Estately has compiled a helpful list for guys and gals (but mostly guys) who have yet to get their sweetie a gift.
Using Google Trends, the website ranked the most frequently searched Valentine’s Day-related gifts in each state.
Most of the items were commonplace for Feb. 14, but, of course, there’s a few that’ll make you raise an eyebrow.
Luckily, Michiganders are pretty normal. The most searched gift was ballroom dancing lessons.
