Even though Valentine's day of 2009 was past, but I have no idea why lovers send chocolate on that day? Why not other presents but chocolate?

It means sweetness and happiness of their love between lovers. If im the one receiving it, i would love it and eat it much until im full heheh. Thats the symbol of true love and friendliness of partners.Showing of great love to one another. Gift giving can also adds good bonding and relationship.

because chocolates are easy to find and have many variants.. so its easy to choose what variant you will purchase.. but for me i prefer giving a personalized give to my special someone.. last valentine's day i gave her a scrapbook containing pictures and things that are important to us.. why don't you try it ??
