People Prefer Small Surprises To Big Ones!

A new survey of 2,000 people found that over half of those polled (52%) agreed the best kinds of surprises are small gestures, like a small gift or treat. This is compared to a bigger gesture that has a greater chance of failing. 

No pressure, but if you are planning a surprise, best do it in the summer.  Over 60% of those polled agreed that often the best memories are made in the summertime.  So if you’re looking to make a memorable moment- do it in the next eight weeks.
