Jewelry stores are businesses that generate more revenue on this day of love and friendship due to the high demand for their products.
SANTO DOMINGO.- Despite the fact that the digital age has brought new needs and gifting opportunities such as mobile phones and electronic tablets, flowers are the great classic of Valentine’s Day, which is why florists and commercial arteries live their August this Tuesday.
Flowers do not go out of style, as described by residents of the greater Santo Domingo area, who roam the shopping streets from the early hours of the morning in search of gifts for that special someone.
Clothing, watches, flowers and accessories are some of the most common gifts Dominicans give for the occasion, costing around RD$3,000 and up.
However, they agree that the date is highly commercialized and love should be celebrated every day of the year.

Store managers on the capital’s crowded shopping streets assure that sales for the celebration were activated last weekend, prompting shops to revitalize to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
