Recommended Candy Gifts ♡
When it comes to candy gifts, don't we often find ourselves buying them for occasions like wedding celebrations, as a thank you, or when visiting a friend's house or in-laws?
I always struggle with what to choose every time, but how about you...?
The candies from shops around the station or in shopping centers tend to be standard or lack a luxury feel, making them not very exciting as gifts.
It’s nice to browse through candy sections in department stores that feature famous brands, but it takes time, and I often find it hard to decide what to choose from there. (If you don't decide what to buy in advance, shopping at a department store can be quite challenging 😂)
That's why I've been searching for candies that I can buy online, which are visually appealing and delicious, so I can share reasons for my choices when giving them as gifts, like:
“I heard this is quite popular♡”
“I thought you might like this!”
“This candy looks so cute!♡”
(Having even a single reason for my choice helps convey that I didn't just pick something randomly, which I value!)
Here are some recommended online sweets that you can order as gifts! ♡
Recommended Online Sweets ① MAMEIL
MAMEIL is a candy that has been popular on social media and caught my attention.
It’s a new sweet featuring crunchy macaroons sandwiched with slices of fresh chocolate♡
The chocolate oozes out from the macaroon, adding to its generous volume.
These fresh chocolate macaroons are made using the Bean to Bar Chocolate technique, which involves sourcing and roasting cocoa beans all in one workshop—a revolutionary method in the chocolate industry♡
Contrary to the image of mass production, each piece is crafted with care, taking a whole week to make just one.
There’s also a pistachio flavor, so I’d love to gift that to my friend who loves pistachio.
I have tried it, and while it is sweet, it's not overwhelmingly so—definitely a refined taste that leaves you wanting more!
It comes in a set of 6 for 3,700 yen (tax included).
GELATERIA GELABO is a gelato specialty shop located in Sapporo.
Many of you might have tried it during a trip to Hokkaido♡
They offer gelato for delivery, which is especially recommended for summer gifts. Being frozen means you don’t have to rush to eat it, making it perfect for gifting.
The gelato arrives in a frozen delivery package♡
It uses milk from Yamanaka Farm, which is famous for butter, along with seasonal fruits, all made completely by hand by artisans.
While regular gelato has about 30% fruit content with water and sugar added, theirs boasts over 55% fruit content for a rich flavor♡
With various flavors like milk, chocolate, strawberry, tiramisu, caramel, mango, matcha, banana, blueberry cheese, yogurt, and more, it can be enjoyed by families with little kids.
Prices are:
6 pieces for 2,600 yen (tax included)
8 pieces for 3,300 yen (tax included)
10 pieces for 4,000 yen (tax included)
12 pieces for 4,700 yen (tax included)
You can also choose your favorite flavors, so if you love strawberry, you can get all strawberry!♡
The brownies from Fat Witch Bakery, popular as wedding favors, are also recommended as gifts♡
This New York-based shop features the logo of a witch girl.
Have you seen it?
It’s a well-known brownie shop in America located in Chelsea Market, New York, and the taste is undoubtedly delicious.
There are stores in Daikanyama and Kyoto, and the brand’s owner, Patricia, is said to be a fan of Japan, which inspired her decision to venture into the country.
At the shop, you can choose from a plethora of flavors!♡
If you're ordering for the first time online, the 6-piece BASICS set, which contains some of the most popular flavors from the NY flagship store, seems like a great option.
Dandelion Chocolate is a chocolate shop born in San Francisco.
They strictly adhere to the Bean to Bar process, making chocolate from start to finish in one workshop, and are well known in the domestic craft chocolate industry.
They have cafes in Kuramae, Omotesando, Kyoto, Kamakura, and Ise!♡
At their cafes, s'mores are a popular menu item!♡
In their online shop, you can buy chocolate bars, gateau chocolat, cookies, chocolate pudding, canelé, ice cream, and many more sweets.
It's a great place when you want to savor high-end gourmet chocolate treats.
If you love chocolate, this should be your first choice!♡
The gateau chocolat arrives in a wooden box, giving it a high-end feel.
You can also add wrapping, so it would be perfect for wedding or baby celebratory gifts!
FRUITEST is a Japanese brand that uses only the finest ripe fruits to create rare dried fruits.
Japan has various fruits cultivated across the country, and this brand focuses on perfectly ripe fruits, aiming to present new ways to enjoy the sweetness and tanginess.
Since it offers “rare dried” fruits, neither fresh nor fully dried, they are concentrated in sweetness and flavor, offering a new texture!♡
You can select your favorite fruits.
They have several grape varieties, so ordering a few to compare would be luxurious!
The packaging is stylish enough to be suitable for a small gift!
Many pregnant women struggling with morning sickness find they can eat these fruits!
