Loveless Brits celebrate anti-Valentine’s Day with Twenga

31st January 2011 Print

As the most comprehensive shopping search engine, Twenga has products for the least romantic, the most hopeless, or those who see Valentine’s Day as a great excuse for some self-indulgence.

A gift for each kind of anti-Valentine:

- One, tormented by happier days before a betrayal, seeks sweet revenge thanks to Voodoo dolls.
- Another dreads the evening alone, but secretly knows a foot massager beats most men.
- Some don’t know whether to bother showing up for dinner or just stay at home with their hot water bottle and sleeping mask set.
- Others will forget Valentine’s past or present and seek refuge in a luxurious box of chocolates.

Twenga, the new-generation search engine enables millions of shoppers throughout the world to find what they want, at the best price, from the online shop of their choice.

Thanks to its proprietary technology, Twenga automatically gathers offers from online retailers and displays them in one searchable interface. As a result, Twenga has the most comprehensive listing of online shops. Its search results are objective and not biased by commercial relationships.
