"Create a Unique 'Gift for Parents' Together with Your Husband at a Pottery Class!"

I Want to Give a Handmade Surprise Gift Engraved with Words of Gratitude ♡

A presentation item to be given to both sets of parents along with a bouquet at the climax of the wedding reception. Since it is a gift given at such a special occasion as a wedding, we want to choose a wonderful item that they can use every day.

Popular among couples are handmade gifts that are one-of-a-kind in the world. You can create a gift tailored to your parents' tastes, engraving messages or designing illustrations.

A heartfelt handmade gift resonates with parents more than any expensive item out there! ♡

But...

Although it's handmade, using commercial kits that can be made at home gives a bit of a cheap feeling, and I don't want to present something of low quality.

It would be nice to have a gift that clearly conveys that it was carefully made with love for my beloved parents! ♡
