~にちなんで ('in honor of, associated with, commemorating') is a set phrase for doing something because of a connection to an event, person, or anniversary. It's used especially for seasonal or commemorative activities. In Japan, Valentine's Day has a specific tradition: women give chocolates to men, and men reciprocate on 'White Day' (March 14) a month later.
