In Korea they have the 12 days of love! Every 14th of the month is a special day. Here is a small overview page of all the Love days.. With some help from the Kakaotalk emoticons!
January: Diary day/Candle day
On this day couples and friends give each other blanc pages, or diaries. This is to encourage each other to write about the good times in the coming year. This day can also be celebrated as candle day where people give each other decorated candles.
February: Valentine’s day
This is like your Western Valentine’s day, only with a twist! Instead of buying chocolates/candies for each other, the girls are supposed to get the boys sweets and chocolates! In some cases the girls will make the chocolates themselves!

This is the day where the boys should return their love by buying chocolates and small presents from the girls who gave them chocolates on 14th of February.
