【Targeting Women in Their 20s】What is a Good Return Gift?

"Uchi-iwai" is a gift given as a token of appreciation to those who have sent a present for your wedding.

The usual amount is typically about one-third to half of the value of the received gift.*

For relatives and bosses at work, it is standard to give a gift set of sweets or meat, or a towel set. However,

for female friends, colleagues, or junior/senior female coworkers in their 20s,

many brides might be thinking:

“Food or towels seem too homey and not fitting… I want to give something more stylish and appreciated!”

This is a common sentiment, right?

In this article, we will introduce gift options for "uchi-iwai" that are sure to delight women in their 20s!*
