Valentines Day is rapidly approaching, and if you're still looking for a gift for that lovely woman in your life, all you need to do is just walk away.

A new study from the online retailer Zulily found that 55% of moms feel they've spent too much time with their partners over the last year, and for Valentine's day this year, really just want to be left alone.


-52% of moms say they will more than likely to ask for "me time" for a holiday or birthday during the pandemic.
-57% say they have already scheduled "me time" in their calendars
-33% of moms admit they would give up their cell phone for a month, and 32% says they'd give up their PTO for a weekend to themselves.

Megan Marshall, Zulily's director of brand marketing, said:

We know that moms are the heroes of their homes. And, this year the 'new normal' has been working virtually, co-teaching their kids, pet wrangling, and trying to be one's best self, all under the same roof with their partner for nearly an entire year. In a year where balancing life's demands has become even more challenging, we've sought to understand how moms have adapted and what's driving the way they celebrate and express love. What we learned is that while moms may want a little more time to themselves to unwind, they also want to make the time with their partners more meaningful. Finding joy in the moment, whether it's with a significant other, their children, or other women in their lives, is something worth celebrating this Valentine's Day.
