Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! You know what else is around the corner? The table where the French council is selling roses and chocolates.
This holiday is all about showing your love to your partner and celebrating friendship and love. I absolutely love the concept of Valentine’s Day because it gives you an excuse to give presents to those who you admire. The easiest way to buy something for someone you like is to purchase from the French council. For only three dollars, you are able to buy a red rose and chocolates for someone.
The process only takes a second! Firstly, you buy them for three dollars. They have laptops all ready for you to sign up right on the spot. Using the Google Form they have created, you must answer the following questions; the full name of you and the person receiving this gift, the homeroom of your valentine and which french message you want your person to receive. On February 14th, they will personally bring each rose and chocolate to the person you bought it for!
This is such a fun experience for you and your friends or anyone special because you could easily surprise them with this and it could start a big bond in your relationship. The feeling of receiving a gift makes you feel loved and needed by your partner. Most people feel good after giving gifts and seeing their friends happy, which is why I decided to purchase a few for my friends this year. Throughout century after century, buying a rose and chocolate for someone on Valentine’s Day is such a timeless and genuine gesture. It is the go-to Valentine’s gift but shows so much love and affection. The rose symbolizes beauty while the chocolates represent sweetness and are usually cherished as a thoughtful gift. This act generally shows consideration and effort for this special holiday.
That is why I think you should get someone a rose and chocolate from the French council. I hope you all receive a rose and chocolate on February 14th. Hoping to see you back here next week for another article. See you next time, St Robs!
