Romance and comfort meet on Valentine’s Day at Wolt: while hamburgers and pizza remain the most popular choices, demand for red roses increases several times, and sales of erotic products triple on February 14, according to data from the local trading company.

Will a typical Hungarian customer order specials from Wolt on Valentine’s Day? According to the platform’s data from February 14 last year, most people stuck to the tried-and-true flavors even on Valentine’s Day, as according to national statistics, hamburgers and pizza were the most popular dishes delivered by blue-bag delivery partners.

Wolt’s gift-giving function is one year old – we give gifts most often at lunchtime

Sushi and other Asian dishes were also popular on Valentine’s Day in Budapest, Szeged and Pécs, while kebabs were in the top 5 in Miskolc and Debrecen and Hungarian dishes in Győr. Among desserts, chocolate cake, donuts and cheesecake were the most popular on Valentine’s Day last year.

2025. February 14th was an important milestone, as from that time Wolt users in Hungary can send a hot meal, shopping or any product from the merchants on the platform as a gift to their loved ones or acquaintances. In the year that has passed since then, it has been revealed that most people send gifts with Wolt between 11:00 and 12:00, mainly hamburgers, some kind of dessert or bouquets of flowers.

The Ecuadorian rose is the flower bouquet

Compared to an average weekday, Wolt’s courier partners in Hungary deliver twenty times more flowers and bouquets of flowers on Valentine’s Day than on an average weekday, based on data from previous years. Not surprisingly, red roses are the most sought-after product at this time, and users are ordering bouquets made of Ecuadorian red roses. The highest-value orders on last year’s Valentine’s Day included Wolt gift cards worth hundreds of thousands of forints, as well as flower bouquets worth over 100 thousand forints delivered in Budapest and Pécs, and an exclusive Italian dinner.

Although a bouquet of roses is a deservedly popular gift, the local trading platform receives three times as many orders for erotic products as on an average weekday: mostly condoms, lubricants and sexual aids are ordered, which are delivered to customers in discreet packaging. The highest-value order in this category was almost 80 thousand forints on last year’s Valentine’s Day.
