Party culture is amazing in foreign countries♡
Halloween, Easter, Christmas... Foreign events have such incredible decorations and stylish concepts that I can't help but admire them*
Recently, while browsing Instagram, I realized that foreign Valentine's Day is also really cute.
Speaking of Valentine's Day abroad, the famous image is "men giving women roses or lingerie," and I didn't have much of an impression beyond that, but it turns out that there’s a "friend chocolate culture" in foreign countries too.
It's called "Valentine for school" or "Valentine for kids," where mothers create cute gifts for their children to take to school to distribute to their friends♡
Among these adorable ideas for children's friend chocolate Valentine's gifts, there are many that are inspired by international culture and are super cute, so let me introduce them♡
I've picked out some things that might be great references for small gifts or hospitality♩
Get inspired by overseas children’s Valentine's Day♡

Attach a heart-shaped tag to a heart-shaped cookie and give it as a gift.

A card-type gift with kiss chocolates arranged like a game♡
Tic-Tac-Toe is the Japanese name for the game we know as "X and O"* With two colors of kiss chocolates, it feels just like playing a game♩

Tie a bright red heart balloon to a card♡ This alone makes for a stylish gift♡
(Seeing things like this makes me realize that cuteness and style don't always correlate with price....!)

Put a tag on Swiss Miss (a staple cocoa in foreign countries) for a small gift.
Swiss Miss is sold at Costco too♩

<7>
This idea involves tying a mini car with a ribbon♩ It could also be applied for escort cards or place cards♡
<8>
Stick an animal figure onto the card with washi tape♡
"I am WILD about you" means I’m crazy about you♡
It conveys a sense of being wild in love!

An idea for designing message cards♩
Isn’t it too cute to have a message typed out from a typewriter?♡
<10>
A gift with a special touch, where you create the recipient's name with sweets♡
<11>
Instead of handing over the sweets as they are, you could attach them to a card as a base to add some style.
This is an idea that invites various applications*
I thought it would be great to try it with ring lace sablé*
