I want to give a cute "gift" ♡
When visiting his relatives' or friends' homes, it's a must to prepare a "gift" *
While you can easily grab something from a nearby department store or basement food hall, that can feel somewhat mundane and unexciting.
Since you're visiting someone, it's nice to be particular about the gift and prepare something unique that’s not easily obtainable, as it adds a special touch ♩
This time, I will introduce some cute "gifts" that will make you feel excited the moment you open them ♩
Cute Gift ① Ginza Kikunoya * Fukiyose
The first gift I’d like to introduce is "Fukiyose" from the long-established Japanese sweets shop "Ginza Kikunoya" located in Ginza *
The Fukiyose, which contains a variety of dried sweets and konpeito (sugar candies), is incredibly vibrant when you open the can ♡
You can also add an original message if you make a reservation in advance, making it perfect as a gift ♩

Cute Gift ② Langela * Rose Madeleine
The rose madeleine from "Langela," a specialty store in Shizuoka, is simply too cute to resist ♡
The beautifully colored and delicate madeleines are so gorgeous that it feels almost wasteful to eat them *
The store is located only in Shizuoka, but there is an online shop, so you can order from anywhere in the country ♩

Cute Gift ③ Ru de la Pomme * Angel Meringue
The "Angel Meringue" from the patisserie Ru de la Pomme located in Kagawa has a name that is just too cute ♡
It’s a precious sweet that is sold by reservation only, and it often sells out due to its popularity.
Not only is the meringue itself cute, but the appearance of the can and its rarity will surely delight the recipient with "Wow!" ♡

Cute Gift ④ Audrey * Gracia
"Gracia" from Audrey, a specialty store using strawberries, looks like ice cream *
It features cone-like cookies filled with fluffy cream and strawberries ♩
The store has locations in Yokohama and Nihonbashi Takashimaya, but it's famously known for always having long lines! It's often sold out, so it’s recommended to go early ◎
Cute Gift ⑤ Mademoiselle C * Petit Mignon Box
The "Petit Mignon Box" from the patisserie Mademoiselle C, run by a jewelry designer, has a charming jewel-like appearance ♡
It sparkles just like a jewelry box and will surely capture any girl's heart *
There is a store located in Nihonbashi's Mitsukoshi, and there are also many cute and delicious cakes beyond just the gifts ♡
Cute Gift ⑥ Lipo * Asian Cookie Box
Famous for its fruit punch, Lipo’s "Asian Cookie Box" comes in a two-tier box filled with delightful cookies ♡
The box itself is incredibly cute, and you can imagine people exclaiming "Wow ♡" the moment it’s opened ♩
Lipo has a store in Shinjuku Isetan *
Cute Gift ⑦ Cafe Ouzan * Stick Rusk
The "Stick Rusk" from the rusk specialty store Cafe Ouzan is a rare elongated type of rusk *
Topped with chocolate and sparkling toppings, it's almost too beautiful to eat ♡
Cafe Ouzan has locations in Ginza Mitsukoshi, Isetan Shinjuku, and Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi, as well as an online shop ♩

Let’s bring cute gifts when visiting ♡
I have introduced some "gifts" that are incredibly vibrant and cute! ♡
A gift represents the feelings you want to convey to your host. While it's totally fine to dash out and buy something on the day of your visit, there is something particularly special about a gift that shows you’ve prepared in advance!
You can convey the deeper sentiment of "Thank you for inviting me. I’ve been looking forward to today," and also earn the title of a thoughtful gift giver ♡
Once you have planned to visit someone’s home, it’s a good habit to prepare the gift in advance ♩
