"I'd Love to See It Trend: 'Cheer Up' Gifts to Give to Friends Who Postponed Their Weddings"

2020.08.14 published

I was moved by my friend's thoughtfulness.

Due to the impact of COVID-19, I postponed my wedding.

I was planning to have a family wedding without inviting friends, but during a recent LINE conversation with a friend, they asked, "By the way, your wedding is at the end of this month, right? What are you going to do?"

I replied, "It's been postponed," and they responded, "Oh, that's too bad! I know it's tough, but cheer up!" They then sent me a LINE gift voucher for Haagen-Dazs right on the spot, and I was truly touched.

I hope the "cheer up gift" spreads.

I was really happy to receive the Haagen-Dazs gift that my friend sent me with the message "Cheer up!" So, I thought it would be wonderful if this idea could spread*.

Since I am holding a family-only wedding, I have a limited number of people to contact, so I haven’t had to be too considerate.

However, brides who are inviting company associates and friends may have to contact dozens of people individually to apologize and might be feeling down.

In those moments, if someone were to send a little gift and say, "Don't worry! Cheer up!" or "I’m looking forward to the postponed wedding!" they would surely feel deeply appreciated and moved♡

What kind of gifts would be good?

I believe the "cheer up gift" is more about the thought than the amount, so it could really be anything. However, I think it’s best to choose something under 500 yen to 1000 yen so that the recipient doesn’t have to worry about returning the favor.

One quick way is to use LINE gifts.

With the cheapest option, you can send a Black Thunder for just 32 yen*.

It's convenient because you can send it easily while chatting on LINE.

With a budget of 500 yen, you can give gift vouchers that can be used at Starbucks, Lawson, Baskin-Robbins, Mister Donut, Don Quijote, and more.

Also, if it’s your first purchase at the Shiseido online store, you can receive free shipping and gift messages, so selecting items from Shiseido is also recommended.

The Shiseido jewel soap "Hone Cake" is available for 440 yen for the cheapest red type*.

➡ Crystal Purple purchase page

➡ Ruby Red purchase page

The collagen drink "The Collagen," which is often introduced at marry, comes in a set of three for 810 yen*.

Collagen drinks are extremely popular among brides, so it should be well received♡

A little gift for a friend who's feeling down.

You may have a few friends who have postponed their weddings, right?

It would make me happy to gift something to a friend when they are feeling down, to help lift their spirits.

(As they have to contact guests and cancel or postpone all the items they ordered, they might be dealing with cancellation fees, which often leads to both mental and physical exhaustion. Being kind during such times will truly resonate with them…!)

I aspire to be someone who can show this kind of thoughtfulness.
