Grab Thailand unveiled its top five best-selling products during the Valentine’s Day festival with roses remaining the champion while condoms, although not in the top five, saw a 30% surge in sales.

 

One of Thailand’s most popular superapps, Grab, gathered statistics from GrabMart users starting from February 1 before releasing a list of Thailand’s best-selling products on its application. The five best-selling products include flower bouquets, various types of gifts, chocolates, beauty products, and worship sets with garlands.

 

According to Grab’s report, flower bouquets have consistently dominated sales when February comes. The most popular flower is none other than roses.

 

Not only did the sale of the roses increase but also their prices. A rose sells for about 8-12 baht each throughout the year, but the price can jump to more than 60 baht each during Valentine’s week. Sunflowers seem to be gaining in popularity in Thailand and their prices increased slightly during Valentine’s Day.

 

As well as expressing love to loved ones, Valentine’s Day is also a time for couples to exchange presents, with a variety of gifts, chocolates and beauty products making the list.

I express my love for my Mrs every morning and night, no need for expensive gifts. IF she needed beauty products she would get them as and when needed of her own choice. And there is ALWAYS chocolate in the fridge for us to share!

Roses and condoms - romance and optimism!

 

Having to wait for the bloke from Grab to arrive must be a "passion killer" though!

Must be a bit embarrassing answering the door with a stiffey, better check no damaged packets. How did KY rate on the list? back door delivery only.
