VALENTINE’S Day will be a low-key, low-cost affair for many Aussies, according to a survey.

When asked by TrueLocal.com.au what they had planned for Valentine’s Day, most respondents (21 per cent) said they would be doing something low-key like a picnic on the beach or a movie at an open-air cinema.

Meanwhile, 17 per cent said they just wanted to spent quality time with their partner at home.

Respondents also said they weren’t planning on spending too much money on the day with more than half the respondents (54 per cent) saying they anticipated the cost of their Valentine’s Day celebrations to be under $150.

But lucky lovers won’t miss out, as most respondents (70 per cent) are still planning on giving their partner a gift for Valentine’s Day.
