How to Celebrate Valentine's Day?

1. Giving Flowers
During Valentine's Day, most men choose to give their lovers or people they like roses.
Red roses represent romance, while pink roses represent first love. You can choose a few flowers or a bouquet, but different numbers of red roses have different meanings.
2. Giving Gifts
During Valentine's Day, couples usually exchange gifts with each other, or one person may give a gift to the other.
The gift can be something that the other person wants, or it can have certain sentimental significance. In addition, gifts are not limited to physical items; a trip or a dinner can also be considered a Valentine's Day gift.
3. Giving Chocolates
Valentine's Day is a day for giving chocolates. On this day, both men and women give chocolates to the people they like. Chocolates are divided into "self-chocolates" and "obligatory chocolates."
Generally, women give chocolates to men, which can be given to a boyfriend or someone they have a crush on. If a man accepts the chocolate, he should return three times the value on White Day, which is one month later.

Why Give Chocolates on Valentine's Day?

Valentine's Day originally did not involve giving chocolates. The custom of giving chocolates on Valentine's Day began in the 1930s.
In a Valentine's Day in the 1930s, a chocolate shop ran an advertisement for the first time, linking chocolates with Valentine's Day and promoting chocolates as Valentine's gifts. However, this advertisement did not have a significant impact. In the 1950s and 1960s, as Japan's situation stabilized, advertisements for giving chocolates on Valentine's Day reappeared in Japanese billboards. Over time, a necessary connection between Valentine's Day and chocolates was formed in people's minds, making giving chocolates on Valentine's Day a tradition.
Moreover, when chocolate was first invented, it was considered an expensive gift. Because of its exquisite packaging and small size, it became a trend to give gifts, naturally becoming an essential item for Valentine's Day. Additionally, chocolate contains phenylethylamine, which is said to make people feel in love.
