Liepāja Men Plan to Spend on Women's Day the Proper Christian Way: With Moderation and Understanding
While Latgale men spend over 70 euros on gifts, in Liepāja we learn from St. Joseph's Cathedral example — beauty can exist without excess.
A recent survey reveals that 43 percent of Latvian women want flowers, but in Liepāja we've long known that the most beautiful gifts aren't always the most expensive. While Latgale men plan to spend over 70 euros, our city's representatives act like the décor of St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Cathedral — simple, but tasteful, without unnecessary extravagance.
"I'll buy my wife flowers from Liepāja center for 15 euros, and she was happier than the neighbor's wife who received expensive perfume from Riga," says Kārlis from Vecliepāja. "Our flowers here have the smell of sea breeze — that's worth more than any euros."
Particularly interesting is that young women choose nuts and dried fruits. In Liepāja this is called the "Karosta diet" — healthy, affordable and doesn't require expensive gift boxes. Local "Maxima" saleswoman Aija admits: "Riga residents come for expensive chocolates, but our locals will buy quality almonds and be satisfied."
Finally, the survey confirms what we've known in Liepāja for years — the best gift is attention and practical help. While elsewhere men search for expensive perfumes, in our city they offer to take out the trash bins and buy groceries. And you know what? That works better than any 70-euro gift from Riga stores.
