This event has been prepared to encourage participation in the Hometown Love Donation Program on the occasion of Valentine’s Day and White Day, and to increase awareness and preference for the return gifts of Bonaterra, a premium handmade dessert company in Goseong-gun, and the cafe Bada Garden, thereby enhancing donor satisfaction and leading to repeat donations. The event period runs from February 6 to March 14.

During the event period, if donors choose handmade chocolate as their return gift after making a Hometown Love donation, they will receive additional items or be provided the products at a discounted price compared to the existing one. In addition, a message card to convey one’s feelings and a gift bag will be enclosed when the return gifts are shipped.

This event is being promoted through cooperation between local businesses and Goseong-gun.

First, Bonaterra will offer each of the following for 30,000 points: a Dark Chocolate Yanggaeng Set (8 pieces) + Cacao Tea (10 bags) gift set, a Dark Chocolate Brownie (5 pieces) gift set, and an Authentic Dark Chocolate One Tree One Bar (1 set). Donors who select Bonaterra products will receive an additional two single Dark Chocolate Yanggaeng pieces.

Bada Garden will offer its Handmade Caramel (10 pieces) + Cookies (12 pieces) gift set, originally priced at 38,000 won, at a 20% discounted price of 30,000 points.

On top of this, a message card to convey one’s feelings will be provided.

In particular, the handmade chocolate featured in this event is a premium product produced by local businesses, and it has been receiving high satisfaction in terms of quality and taste, so it is expected to attract strong interest from donors. Donors can feel the reward of contributing to revitalizing the local economy while enjoying a sweet gift.

An official from the county said, “We hope this will serve as an opportunity to spread the atmosphere of participation in the Hometown Love Donation Program on the occasion of Valentine’s Day and to widely promote the excellence of local return gifts,” adding, “We will continue to activate donation participation through various events tailored to the seasons and trends.”

Meanwhile, starting this year, Goseong-gun has been offering a 50% discount on admission fees for one year from the date of a Hometown Love donation when visiting major tourist attractions such as the Hwajinpo Marine Museum, the History and Security Exhibition Hall, and the Sherwood Hall Cultural Space. The county plans to continue to raise donor satisfaction through the development of various return gifts and promotional events.
