Valentine’s Day is celebrated in many countries, but not always on the same day – or in the same way. In Japan, women give gifts to men on February 14th and men cannot respond with a gesture until March 14th. And in Argentina there’s a whole week of sweetness in July! But, however one celebrates, it’s all about love and friendship and…. maybe a little chocolate.
Here’s a rundown to help celebrate your friends and loved ones from sun-up to sundown.
- Choose your color scheme – pink, red, white to set the stage.
- A metal heart cookie cutter can be used to shape veggies, toast, pastry dough and more! Show some love with heart-shaped food.
- Heart-shaped glycerin soaps are fun and functional and easy to make with kids – or without!
- Wrap candies and chocolates in cellophane baggies.
- Send a love note in a lunchbox or backpack.
