Chocolates for Valentine's Day:
If someone gets you a little prezzie and it's a box o' chocolates, even if it's some random drugstore cherry-filled waxy chocolates, it's still soooo cute that you got a present!!
The chocolate box:
Sometimes the ones with like the big honking brazil nuts inside give me hives. But only sometimes! So I tend to avoid the chocolates with big honking brazil nuts.
Milk chocolate:
Super delicious respectability quotient, juuuuust right for certain occasions, ie: going to the movies, going to the corner store and spending 75 cents.

Extreme barf alert. Yucky, yucky, yucky! I also hate cupcakes and wine!!! Stop it, people!

This one is easy: whenever I receive a box of chocolates, I always wish there was a way to get rid of all the ones with nuts/nut oils. Dumb allergies!

Chocolates for Valentine's Day: cute or cliché?
Cute. Although, after years of waiting for a heart shaped box of decadent chocolates, I received one from an ex-boyfriend, by then the excitement was lost. Why couldn't he have done that when we were together? It was a velvet covered box from Godiva too, we're not talking the Whitman Sampler.
