Definitions & examples
Also used when sharing something you’re proud of or made with care — like art, baking, or a creative project (“Fresh out of the oven 💝”).
In Japan, 💝 often appears around Valentine’s Day since gift-giving (especially chocolate) is a major tradition. It conveys both romantic and friendly affection, not just love confessions. In Western contexts, it can also carry “wholesome gift energy,” often tied to gratitude or celebration.
💝 can feel overly sentimental if dropped in professional or casual acquaintance chats — better saved for close friends, partners, or festive posts.

Differences between 💝 (heart with ribbon) and 🩷 (pink heart)
More on pink heart
Both 💝 and 🩷 express affection and warmth, conveying caring intentions and emotional connection rather than harsh or formal sentiment. The 💝 feels like a wrapped present of love—playful, celebratory, and explicit about giving something special to someone; it suits moments of gifting, surprises, gratitude, or romantic gestures that carry a sense of ceremony. By contrast, the 🩷 is quieter and more intimate, a gentle pink heart that signals soft affection, steady fondness, or emotional closeness without the performative or festive tone. Use 💝 when you want to emphasize the act of offering love or marking an occasion with a cute, gift-like flourish; choose 🩷 to communicate tender support, low-key admiration, or ongoing closeness in everyday conversation.
Usage
Use 💝 when you are presenting affection as a gift—celebratory, playful, and explicit about giving something special. Use 🩷 when you want to convey gentle, sweet love or emotional closeness—subtle, warm, and less intense.
