Americans are projected to have spent $17.6 billion on Valentine’s Day this year, pushing those hand-written love letters aside and grabbing their wallets to pony up some serious dough. According to a survey from the National Retail Federation, the average consumer will spend approximately $126 to ensure that Cupid hit its mark.
This estimate is about an 8.5 percent increase from last year’s spending, putting those claims to rest about how one can’t put a price on love. But after all is said and done and Valentine’s Day is another year away, some of these tokens of love will get damaged, lost or stolen. As you may or may not know that homeowner policies generally cover valuable and precious items such as jewelry, but they usually have limits. So what is the best way you can protect your valuables?
Here’s the simple answer, Valuable items coverage.
Here is a list of items that you should consider obtaining coverage for:
- Jewelry and engagement rings
- Silverware, china and crystal
- Antiques
- Fine Art
- Stamp and coin collections
- Bicycles
- Trophies
- Sound equipment (recorders)
- Sports equipment (archery, camping, fishing, skiing)
- Wedding gifts
- Cameras
- Computers
- Musical instruments
- Golf Equipment
- Furs
- Guns
- Pedigreed dogs
- Garden tractors
- Political campaign collections
Protecting your valuables from loss is an affordable option for anyone with treasured belongings. Whether you just need jewelry insurance or want insurance for multiple valuables, there are plenty of options to choose from. So you can add on and choose the exact coverage you need. Plus, if you purchase more than one policy with a company you can save with a multi-policy discount. Many companies offer this savings to you, so all you have to do is ask.
Hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day and Cupid was very good to you!
