Wikipedia definition
2. Giri chocois chocolate given by women to men on Valentine's day in Japan. It is a relatively cheap type of chocolate women give to male co-workers, casual acquaintances, and others to whom they have no strong attachment. Giri choco is lower-quality than honmei choco (more expensive chocolates women give to their romantic partners). Men generally reciprocate by giving women cookies and other gifts on White Day, celebrated on March 14.

I am not too happy when I receive a “obligation chocholate” (given out of a sense of obligation on Valentine’s Day) from a girl I am not that close to, because I don’t want to think about what I should give her as a return gift.
