Girls like to gift guys chocolates on Valentine's day, and we expect the return be a gorgeous dinner or a hand bag! I think it's a time being romantic for couples. There's also a thing called: 義理チョコ, which is chocolate gifts women gift men who have interactions such as co-workers, friends, etc,. for "sincerely yours" but not for romantic actions the one which we have with couples.
