Sanrio collabs with Godiva to bring new Hello Kitty and My Melody Valentine’s gift for 2022
The day of love has arrived, and in Japan Valentine’s Day is celebrated by women giving chocolate to the men in their lives.
This artist’s creation was actually a birthday treat rather than a Valentine’s Day gift, but she posted it on the internet just in time to give everyone some inspiration for their own gifts. How thoughtful.
Rather than buying a box of chocolates, Japanese people like to give a personalised feeling to Valentine's gifts by buying a bar of chocolate to melt and reset in cutely shaped moulds. Then they decorate the chocolates themselves with icing and various toppings.
When planning for her partner's birthday, perhaps @Keko_Art took the idea of personalisation a bit too far and made a mould of her own face in order to present it in chocolate form to her boyfriend.

Looking at the chocolate, it would probably actually make a cool gift for a significant other who is into horror movies. Choosing white chocolate makes the face look pallid and ghostly, and giving the face pink icing lips and blackberry hair was a nice touch.
If you love J-horror and Japanese ghost stories, how about reading the legend of a doll that grows human hair?
