White Day

I'm sure  everyone has heard of Valentine's Day, and it's a big day for every love couple.
But how many of you know about White Day?


It's exactly one month after Valentine's Day(14 March) and the two are a pair.
In Japan, the Valentine's Day tradition is for girls and women to give gifts (usually chocolate or cookies) to the boyfriends, husbands, fathers, teachers, bosses, co-workers.
 But the concept of "giri-choco", or giving chocolates out of duty rather than love is common though not something most women really feel like doing.
If the gift is to be seen as really heartfelt, it needs to be handmade.
With all the romantic hype in stores and the media, as well as the pressure of giri-choco,
 a guy who gets no chocolates on Valentine's Day is entitled to feel like something is seriously wrong with not just his social life but also his workplace.=(

 For the ladies the pay-off comes a month later on March 14, 
it's the time that  guys' turn to give something back. 
With the name White Day, I suppose the gift should be something white, *just simply guess*

The other rule, called "sanbai-gaeshiin," is that
the guys are supposed to give a gift worth three times the value of what they received a month earlier (oh right, that's fair!).
 And certainly it's common to hear high school girls saying they give a couple of hundred yen's worth of giri-choco to their Dads only with the ulterior motive of getting a Gucci bag or something similarly extravagant in return. *wow,i want too*

But the most common gifts seem to be chocolates, cookies and flowers,
all the way up to jewelry and those expensive accessories that many ladies hope.

that's what i've read from an article.

Guys and boys, have u ever given a gift to your mother,girlfriends or beloved female on White Day??

Love,
