IT’S that time of year when you can make like Cupid and shower a friend or loved one with that something special.
Whether it be roses, chocolates or a fancy meal, Valentine’s Day is seen by some as the perfect time to express romantic feelings.
According to the experts, chocolate is considered a treat and said to symbolise love and passion.
The chocolate plant itself ‘‘theobroma cacao’’ literally translates to the ‘‘food of the gods’’ in Greek.
George Magganas from Nina’s Chocolates at Gymea said a sweet treat was a special way to share your love on Valentine’s Day.
‘‘We go all-out to make them look pleasing and make them taste good,’’ Mr Magganas said.
His store was shut for the first two weeks of January, making Valentine’s Day its first special occasion for the year.
