( No Title )
Here’s a quick tip, if you RP a Japanese character and want to do something for Valentine’s Day!
In Japan, Valentine’s Day is one where girls confess their feelings to the boys they like via gifts, usually handmade chocolate with a note. I’m sure everyone’s seen an episode or two of an anime that covers this, with the typical ‘opening the locker and gifts pour out’. Typically, boys do not give chocolates to the girls they like. And they aren’t expected to. It’s pretty much only girls who give chocolates.
However, there is a parallel holiday on March 14th, White Day. This is the day that the boy, should he return those feelings and accepts the girl’s confession, gives a gift to answer for the chocolates. Usually, it’s something not-edible, and only a small trinket (so not huge bouquets or expensive jewelry). It can be something as simple as a pencil case, or handmade stuffed animal. Usually, the gift is handmade, but store-bought is accepted.
Hope this helps!
While this is good at explaining the difference I must point out something so people do get confused.
CHOCOLATE IS NOT A MAIN GIFT EVEN ON VALENTINE’S DAY.
Chocolate is given ONLY as a love confession to the man you love! Other gifts are often given to friends and family members, they can be very small and are almost always hand-made.
Cell phone charms, woven bracelets and such are also given out on Valentine’s Day if you’re just friends or if you wanted to give your brother or sister something!
