Valentine's Day for your special someone. We asked buyers about chocolates that bring two people closer together [Chocolate to give to your crush]

Jan 21, 2017
Valentine's Day is just around the corner! FASHION HEADLINE introduces recommended chocolates in four categories for the upcoming Valentine's Day: "Chocolate to enjoy with your girlfriends," "Chocolate to give to your crush," "Chocolate to enjoy with your kids," and "Exquisite chocolate you'll want to keep all to yourself." These days, the culture of "enjoying chocolate" is spreading, rather than "confessing your love to your crush." Whether you haven't decided what to buy yet or have a specific brand in mind, check out the latest in constantly evolving chocolates and enjoy Valentine's Day to the fullest.

Even though Valentine's Day is gradually transforming into a "day to enjoy chocolate," giving chocolate to your crush is still a unique Valentine's Day memory. So, we've selected seven chocolates that will fulfill your wish of "selecting a tasteful item that suits his tastes!"
