"Are You Missing Out? The Common Knowledge About DEAN & DELUCA's Official Shop on Rakuten and How It Earns You Points!"

If you're going to buy the same thing...
Recently, I realized that "Dean & Deluca has an official shop on Rakuten." Did you know that...?
Dean & Deluca is a convenient store for brides, where you can buy little gifts or choose some simple gifts (like thank-you gifts for weddings or homecoming gifts).
I think many people still go to the store to purchase, but actually, they also have a storefront on Rakuten!
Not all products are available on the Rakuten shop, but it seems they carry popular items, classics, and seasonal products.
Of course, since it's online shopping, there will be shipping fees, but it's a flat 460 yen, so it might actually be cheaper than traveling by train, and there are also free shipping items available, which is a good deal.
If you're going to buy the same thing, I definitely feel like it’s better to purchase on Rakuten where you earn Rakuten points! So, I gathered some recommended items you can buy on Rakuten.
【1】 Cookie Tin
A set of cookies in a can with the Dean & Deluca logo♡ It costs 3,240 yen, but since you earn points, it can effectively feel like a 10% to 20% discount♡
There is also a white version of the can*
There are also more affordable cookies priced at 1,080 yen in a clear box with heart designs, which are cute (and right now, you earn 377 points, so it’s effectively a 30% discount...!).
There’s also a set with this cookie and drip coffee packed in a cloth bag. It's 2,052 yen*
This product is eligible for the Super Deal as of July 6, 2021, with normal points plus 20% Super Deal points, resulting in 877 points back. It's practically half off. What a bargain...!
【2】 Enamel Container
I recently saw this at the store and thought it looked stylish and wanted it.
It's a bit pricey at 5,500 yen with a box, so as a resident of the Rakuten economic zone, I thought I would rather buy it on Rakuten to earn points...

【3】 Tote Bag
When you think of Dean & Deluca, you think of tote bags. Various styles are available for purchase on Rakuten as well.
Since Dean & Deluca is part of Rakuten's 39 shop, it’s relatively a good deal no matter when you buy it. The next time you buy a Dean & Deluca tote bag, be sure to check the Rakuten shop first.
【4】 Oil & Balsamic Vinegar
This set includes mini bottles of extra virgin olive oil and flavored oils like truffle and herbs, making it a classic choice for small gifts.
It's a 1,512 yen product, but for example today, it earns 11 times points giving you 432 points back.

【5】 Truffle Salt
Personally, I always buy truffle salt, and I found it in the Rakuten shop.
This one is 1,200 yen, but...
I can't buy the really expensive truffle salt, but if I buy one that’s cheaper than 1,000 yen, there aren't many good-smelling options, and I feel this truffle salt from Dean & Deluca offers the best cost performance. I've kept it at home for years.
(If it's a large size, it might lose its scent before I finish it, so I like that this quantity is just right.)
Plus, since you earn points, if you use the points to buy it, it's effectively free... I thought.
【6】 Fruit Jar Juice
This is a glass bottle fruit juice product named "Vitamin Fruit Assort."
It comes in an 8-bottle set for 3,240 yen, which makes each bottle 400 yen. The packaging is simple and nice. It seems great for small gifts too♡
【7】 Fruit Compote
This vibrant product is always stacked in the store and is perfect for gifts.
When I think about it, I paid for delivery when buying from the store!
Buying from the store is good, but I thought it might be more beneficial to buy from Dean & Deluca's Rakuten shop...?
Recently, I had Dean & Deluca cookies delivered to a friend as a gift, and I realized that shipping from the store was about 1,000 yen.
However, using the Dean & Deluca shop on Rakuten, the shipping fee is either 460 yen or free (by the way, the official online store charges a flat rate of ¥770 nationwide).
Not all products are available, but there are times when it can be cheaper, so I thought it would be great to try!*
