We know a lot of people are busy with Lunar New Year celebrations, but let’s not forget that Valentine’s Day is also just around the corner!

This year, let’s put a Japanese spin on the celebrations, and give chocolate instead of flowers. Our list covers every conceivable budget, and are sure to impress the anime heroines in your life~

Chocnut

Bring your girl’s childhood memories back to life with this cheap and cheerful chocolate. At just PhP 20 per pack in local grocery stores, you have enough money left over to splurge on flowers or a movie date.

Giant Peppero

While you can never go wrong with Pocky, you can really wow her with a box of Giant Peppero. Peppero is the Korean equivalent of Pocky — manufactured by Lotte. Giant Peppero are actually huge boxes that house eight smaller single serve boxes of Peppero — a guaranteed crowdpleaser!

Meiji Melty Kiss

Want to treat your girl to some Royce (MMMMMMM our favorite!) but don’t have the money to cover for it? Meiji has got you covered with their line of delicious and affordable nama choco line “Melty Kiss”. Although not as decadent as the premium brand, Melty Kiss is delicious and notable on its own way.
