The We Pay the Tariffs coalition is highlighting the high price of President Trump’s tariffs ahead of Valentine’s Day tomorrow, writing that popular gifts for the holiday faced over $3 billion in extra tariffs in just nine months. These gifts, including jewelry, perfumes and cosmetic products, wine, candy & chocolate, flowers, candles, and greeting cards faced a total of $3.1 billion in extra tariffs between March and November 2025. The coalition writes, “Faced with high tariffs, small business owners importing America’s favorite Valentine’s Day gifts are caught between impossible choices: absorb costs they cannot afford, raise prices and lose customers, or close permanently.”
