"Gift Ideas to Experience the Weight of Birth, Beyond Rice and Plush Toys!"
2022.07.30 published
A Classic Gift for Parents.
Gifts for parents are typically made of "weight rice" or weight dolls that represent the weight of the bride and groom at birth.
It's touching to experience the weight at which they first held you, allowing them to reminisce about the past, which is a fantastic aspect ♡
It's also lovely to give gifts that match the birth weight, not just rice ♡
While traditional gifts like rice (and stuffed animals) are widely available and there are many DIY wrapping ideas,
wouldn't it be wonderful to present gifts equating to the birth weight using something other than rice?
"If I give rice, it will just be eaten and that's it..."
"There’s already a lot of rice at my parents' home, so I doubt they'd be too thrilled..."
"I'd really prefer something a bit more unique than rice."
Especially for those thinking this way!
* Favorite items or hobbies of the parents
* More practical and likely enjoyable items
Considering these to prepare gifts equivalent to their birth weight is a delightful idea ♡
Depending on the item, some creativity might be needed for the wrapping,
For example ♡
①
A bride gifted "weight coffee beans" to her coffee-loving parents ♡
Since preparing about 2-3 kg of coffee beans would take up too much space, she used a ziplock bag with sand for a sand ceremony in the center to add weight, covering it with coffee beans to DIY the project.
They can feel the birth weight, enjoy delicious coffee, and the bottle can be reused, making it stylish as interior decor ♡
A wonderful gift for parents.

Kana (@dk_wd_0917) gifted her parents protein equivalent to her birth weight ♡
Since her husband was originally a trainer and they go to the gym together, she thought protein was the perfect choice. It’s very original! ♡
The wrapping involved putting protein into the largest ziplock from a 100-yen shop, placing it in a non-woven gift bag, wrapping that with a towel and ribbon, and DIYing a printed face on Kent paper.
