Where to Go for Buying Gifts for the After-Party!

Have you decided on the gifts for the wedding after-party?

Once you’ve managed to list out your budget and items to buy, the next step is to gather them all.

While online shopping is convenient,

it seems that many people prefer to discuss with the guests and go shopping together, which allows for more opinions to be shared while deciding on the gifts.

(It adds a bit of fun too!)

In this article, we will introduce some recommended stores and shops for buying gifts for the after-party.

Store for After-Party Gifts① Tokyu Hands and Loft

First, the classics! Tokyu Hands and Loft offer a wide variety of products, including beauty items, novelty goods, home decor, kitchenware, and much more.

It’s also nice that you can request wrapping at the register!

Store for After-Party Gifts② Don Quijote

Don Quijote, a palace of incredible deals, is a classic stop for buying gifts for the after-party. They particularly excel in novelty goods!

You can find amusing deals like “Did this actually exist?!” or “This is sure to get laughs” at great prices!

Store for After-Party Gifts③ Costco

Costco is a membership warehouse store. If one person has a membership card, they can enter with up to two others, so it’s great if the groom, bride, or the organizer is a Costco member!

While Costco is well-known for its food, it also offers a diverse range of electronics, making it ideal for choosing gifts for the after-party.

Plus, the member-only prices often allow you to purchase items that won’t go on sale elsewhere, so it’s a bonus. Membership costs 4,400 yen!

Store for After-Party Gifts④ Starbucks

A staple gift for the after-party! Let’s go to the nearest Starbucks to buy Starbucks cards or tumblers.

The designs of products vary by season and location, so it’s best to buy when the designs for the wedding season or your favorite season (like Valentine’s or Christmas!) are in stock.

Some limited editions sell out quickly upon release, but there’s a rule that each person can only buy one item when they first become available.

Store for After-Party Gifts⑤ Disney Store

Of course, buying Disney pair tickets at the Disney Store is a must! You can’t start the after-party gifts without these.

While tickets can also be purchased at convenience stores, they tend to look like receipts, which isn’t the cutest, so going to the Disney Store gives you a better gift feel.

Lately, instead of park tickets, there are also more products like 500 yen and 1000 yen vouchers usable at Disney Resort places like Ikspiari and hotels for gifts.

Store for After-Party Gifts⑥ Electronics Retailers

Electronics retailers like Yamada Denki, Bic Camera, Yodobashi Camera, Edion, K’s Denki, Nojima, Josin, Kojima, and Sofmap are also recommendable for buying after-party gifts.

What you want to buy here are cheerful appliances, like coffee makers and vacuum cleaners, handheld irons, and Balmuuda microwaves that not everyone might have.

Plus, you can accumulate points at electronic stores, which is a nice perk.

Store for After-Party Gifts⑦ Department Stores

Department stores like Isetan, Takashimaya, Mitsukoshi, Daimaru, Seibu, Tobu, Marui, Lumine, Odakyu, Hankyu, Sogo, and Parco are great for picking up popular brand makeup items for female guests.

Since you don’t know who will win the gifts, buying lipsticks and lip products that anyone can appreciate seems good. You can also purchase gift vouchers and beer coupons.

Store for After-Party Gifts⑧ Dean & Deluca

Dean & Deluca is a fashionable store with a rich variety of cookies, chocolates, and chips.

They also have many unique items like truffle salt and fruit compote, making it a great choice for couples who love food and want fashionable after-party gifts.

You might also find cute gifts and treats!

Store for After-Party Gifts⑨ Kaldi

Kaldi is a store specializing in coffee and imported foods. They offer trendy coffee beans and a variety of alcoholic beverages, perfect for gathering gifts for an adult-themed after-party.

There are also many trending food items and seasonings on social media, so why not put together a package for the gifts?

Store for After-Party Gifts⑩ Okashi no Machioka

Finally, Okashi no Machioka. They have a wide variety of large snacks and assorted flavored sweets, making it great for gifts like “Participation Prize,” “Best Effort Award,” or “Bride and Groom Prize.”
