Just wondering if you knew or not, but the character in those Chinese hearts have a great meaning. You'll notice that the character is symmetrical. If you look at just one of the sides, you have the word happiness (xi), but when you put two together, it is a character that symbolizes the joy of two people being joined in marriage. The character is called "Shuang Xi," or a pair of happiness. That type of heart is a typical wedding gift or something seen at a wedding celebration.
