*Where digital meets travel + lifestyle … A collection of can’t-miss news from this week. **[Sign up](https://turnerpr.com/newsletters)** to get the TURNER Weekly Download in your inbox every Friday.*

## Facebook’s Relationship Status Crystal Ball

**[Facebook knows when you’re breaking up before you do](http://mashable.com/2017/02/03/facebook-relationship-ads/#L40zOb8DyqqA)**. Researchers found that a user is more likely to visit his or her significant other’s Facebook page immediately before and after the breakup. They also saw a 25 percent increase in travel-related purchases a month before users change their relationship statuses to “Single” … because running away from your problems is *always* the answer, right? Since the platform is pushing retail therapy to the lonely hearts club this Valentine’s Day, we're changing our relationship status with Facebook to "It's complicated."

## #FriendGoals > #CoupleGoals

Who says Valentine’s Day is only for those lucky enough to be in a relationship? What about Singles Day? **[Turns out many people are buying gifts for their friends, co-workers, or pets instead of their special someone.](https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/288417)** According to Bing.com, 22 percent of people fill in “husband” when they search for “Valentine’s Day Gifts” with “friend” coming in a close second at 20 percent.

## Skip the Flowers – Send a Skype

Skype is bringing us a new (and easier) way to tell our loved ones how much we care. **[Users can create videos with floating hearts and send them across the world via video-chat, email, and other social platforms](http://tech.firstpost.com/news-analysis/skype-introduces-virtual-cards-mojis-and-emoticons-for-valentines-day-361360.html)**. That’s not all! In a partnership with Rogue Octopus, the “moji” feature lets Skypers send short Valentine-themed video clips that can be unpacked like boxes and shared over the app.

## Love Goes Mobile

Shopping on the go for Valentine's Day is a relatively new idea. But it’s growing. Last year, 48 percent of Valentine’s Day **[searches from Bing came from mobile devices.](https://www.internetretailer.com/commentary/2017/01/26/valentines-day-increasingly-mobile-holiday)** It’s no surprise that the top mobile search was for jewelry and bling since 50 percent of marriage proposals happen on February 14th.  Procrastinators take note: most Valentine’s Day shopping happens in the two weeks leading up to the holiday, so if you’re still looking for that perfect gift, don’t worry, you have time.
