When the Valentines update was first released, it contained timed challenges. I think you had about 2 weeks to complete them all (but that got extended at least once due to server issues causing people delays). One of the challenges was to receive 400 'valentines' from your friends within the time frame. So everyone who downloaded the Valentines update started with one of those pink boxes on their desktop. When ever a friend used up one of their daily charges on that box, a valentine was dropped in, increasing your total. Once someone reached 400 valentines they could open the box for a reward and it was replaced with a Cupid statue. But after the time limit ran down, all the remaining boxes disappeared from peoples own desktops (were replaced with cupid statues) and the reward can no longer be achieved. If you downloaded the game for the first time after the Valentines Update challenges were over (middle of March, I think?), you will never get the box yourself. It was a one time thing, but maybe they will do it again next year.

From what I have seen, people who do download the Valentines Update after the challenges ended can still see the box on some players desktops when visiting. These are players who did not get 400 charges in time, so they never opened the box. However, it has been replaced by a cupid statue on their own home desktops as they see it, even though you can see the box when visiting them. Its just a glitch. Don't waste your charges on it, it shows a valentines being added but your friend will never actually receive it since they don't have the box any more.

I know that probably isn't what you wanted to hear, but for what it is worth, the reward was pretty rubbish, it only contained:

1) One Love Letter - increases experience points from exploring pictures by 20% for 90min - i.e. it's an ancient scroll, just by a different name 2) One Lucky Horseshoe (clover picture on talisman) - increases chances of finding objects by 30% for 90min - i.e. it's a fortune amulet (the golden horseshoe), just by a different name 3) Sponge Cake - this should have been the Valentines equivalent of a dinner, and given full energy restore +15 added to maximum like but thanks to the bug with the Valentines energy items it only gives 5 energy points.* 4) Gold weight - totally restores strength and increases maximum by 10.

(*the good news there, is if you get the newest update, the Tavern update, the valentines food items will be back to the right amounts, so the sponge cake does fully restore energy and add 15 to you maximum again. If you are playing on an android or kindle device you might have a couple of weeks to wait for that update to be released, I'd recommend you hold onto all the valentines energy items that say they only give 4 or 5 energy points until then, as they will be worth much more energy when you download it)
