Daily Origami: 238 - Valentine's Day - Chocolate

Origami: Chocolate

----------
Today is two hundred and thirty-eight in the series. Today we finish up our series to honor Valentine's Day. Today we will make some chocolate to give to your loved ones on Valentine's Day. While you may give your sweet sweets on this day such as Ghirardelli Chocolate or Godiva Chocolate, the gift will sooner or later be consumed. Something like these origami chocolates last. You can decorate them, but a special message on them, so many ideas. A fun and different gift!
In Japan, Valentine's Day is usually a holiday when girls give boys chocolate. Women often give chocolate to the person they love, but also the men in their family and the men they work with (especially those in a higher position then themselves). This means giving lots of chocolate. Small gift boxes for all budgets are available at stores with lots of male related themes (sports, beer, whiskey). Next month, on March 14th, we celebrate White Day and that is when all the men who got chocolate give back to the women by giving cookies. Lately, these traditions have lessened and more people try to copy the Western ways for celebrating Valentine's Day.
Happy Valentine's Day!

@Lamagya Tomoko Fuse has great boxes. You can start with smaller pieces and put things together to make a box. If you search my channel I have many of her boxes shown. Thanks for watching!
