SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Just in time for Valentine's Day, the Ghirardelli Chocolate Company is redefining the holiday with the return of its viral gift, the Chocolocket. This year, there are two Chocolockets in each gift, designed to be shared with your perfect pair.

That idea comes to life through Perfect Pairs Day, a celebration of the meaningful connections in our lives, from romantic partners to the people who make every day better—work besties, pickleball partners, brunch buddies, squadmates, travel twins, and more.

"The Chocolocket is our playful tribute to all the perfect pairs in our lives, whether that's best friends, siblings, coworkers, or romantic partners," said Bobby Oliver, Ghirardelli's VP of Marketing. "Just like Ghirardelli chocolate and caramel, moments are simply better when they're shared with your perfect pair."

The Chocolocket is a custom-crafted 14K gold-plated locket created to hold one mini GHIRARDELLI® SQUARES® inside. Designed to resemble GHIRARDELLI®'s iconic gold-foil wrapped chocolate SQUARES, the whimsical keepsake is both a gift and an indulgent treat meant to be shared with someone special. Each pair arrives packaged with a bag of mini Ghirardelli SQUARES®, reinforcing the idea that great moments are meant to be enjoyed together.

Whether it's a soulmate, best friend, sibling, or coworker, Ghirardelli is encouraging fans to celebrate the people who make life sweeter.

Each pair arrives in a heart-shaped tin with a personalized message celebrating your perfect pair—Soulmates, Work Besties, Pickleball Partners, Brunch Buddies, Dinner Dates, Squadmates, Travel Twins, and more.
