Around 3,000 Yen! A List of Gifts That Made Me Happy as a 26-Year-Old Living with a Partner: Wedding Favors & Celebration Gifts*

What are good gifts for female guests and wedding presents for friends?

In your 20s and 30s, there are many opportunities to give gifts to female friends.

☑ Birthday

☑ Engagement gift

☑ Wedding gift

☑ New home gift

☑ Job change gift

☑ Wedding favors

☑ Return gifts

And so on.

While traditional gifts are fine, many friends have already exchanged gifts multiple times, so they might have developed specific tastes, and you might end up giving them something they already have…!

So this time, I, Nagisa from the marry editorial team (26 years old, living with a partner), have picked out gifts that I received in the past and thought,

"I was really happy to receive this!"

"I received this years ago but I still use it!"

"I love it so much that I would give the same thing to someone else."

The gifts I will introduce are around the budget of 【3,000 yen】, perfect for wedding favors or gifts! ♩

Gifts around 3,000 yen that I was happy to receive① Double wall glass

First up is the afternoon tea double wall glass.

A double wall glass is a glass with dual layers, which means:

☑ No condensation even with ice

☑ Doesn't get hot on the outside when filled with hot liquids

☑ Hot liquids stay warm longer

☑ Ice doesn't melt quickly

☑ Microwave safe

It’s a very impressive glass! *

The one I received is a low tumbler glass, so I use it for everything from water and juice to drinking white soup, warming cocoa in the microwave, and having whiskey on the rocks. Since I can use it for both cold and hot drinks, I drink almost everything at home from this glass.

It looks stylish too, so I often use it as a dish for yogurt◎

I received the afternoon tea double wall glass, but various brands like Starbucks, Bruno, and Francfranc also have them, usually in pairs for about 3,000 yen. ♩

Gifts around 3,000 yen that I was happy to receive② Perfume glass from Perfume Oil Factory

Next, I’d like to introduce the perfume glass from Perfume Oil Factory.

I usually don’t wear perfume, but just adding aroma oil makes for a lovely fragrance, and the appearance is really cute, so I have it in my bathroom. *

There are various colors and shapes, making it easy to choose according to the recipient's preference ♩

Just having it around makes me feel more feminine…!

The price was around 2,500 yen. *

Gifts around 3,000 yen that I was happy to receive③ Laundry detergent and face towels from Tenleyta

An organic brand, “Tenleyta,” laundry detergent and face towel set was also one of the gifts I was delighted to receive.*

When I washed my laundry with Tenleyta's detergent, all my clothes had a refreshing and pleasant scent! ♩

It looks stylish with bright colors, and the name of the detergent isn’t written in big letters but in English, making the bathroom instantly chic. *

I rarely think, "Let’s buy some good detergent!" so receiving this was a great opportunity. ♩

You can never have too many face towels, and while I don’t often buy them, receiving them is always nice.

Gifts around 3,000 yen that I was happy to receive④ Brand hand soap

Recently, I’ve received brand “hand soap” quite a bit, and I’ve been happy to receive those too! *

Brand hand soaps feel like something you find in a nice hotel, and just having them around raises my spirits.

Since there are multiple places to place them—bathroom, kitchen, and toilet—it’s great to have several! ◎

I've received hand soaps from Jill Stuart and Three, and both smelled amazing, lifting my mood! ♡

Gifts around 3,000 yen that I was happy to receive⑤ Royal Copenhagen White Palmette Oval Dish

The Royal Copenhagen White Palmette is a simple and pure white dish that is very versatile.

The oval dish is neither too deep nor too shallow, making it perfect for both pasta and salad dishes as well as for Japanese meals like Chikuzen-ni and Nikujaga; it’s very convenient.

Regular pasta bowls are round, which can take up a lot of space when stored, but the oval dish is elliptic, so it has roughly the same capacity while being easy to store, which is a nice point! ♩

Let’s choose gifts that bring joy! ♡

I've shared actual examples of "gifts that made me happy."

For women around my age (25 to 26 years old), whether married or living with a partner or boyfriend, receiving these gifts would surely make them happy! ♡

I hope this helps you in choosing gifts…! ＊
