A Special Feature on Different Types of Hand Mirrors That Make Perfect Gifts, from Brands to Antiques 🪞

How about a compact mirror as a thank you gift for the reception?

A token of appreciation to guests who helped with the wedding reception.

Hairbrushes and lip products are the standard gifts, but if you're looking for something universally usable and not overly influenced by personal preference, I think a compact mirror is also a great choice.

Having a small mirror on hand allows you to check your makeup and hairstyle easily, whether you're at work or in a formal setting like a wedding while seated.

If it's from a good brand, even that simple act will look elegant.

(Much more sophisticated than relying on a cheap-looking mirror or using your smartphone screen!)

So in this article, I will introduce some stylish pocket mirrors from brands that are surprisingly not widely known...?

They are also perfect gifts for adults.

① CHANEL

First up is the Miroir Double Facettes by CHANEL.

5,170 yen (including tax)

It has a similar appearance to an eyeshadow palette, and its design is recognizable as Chanel at first glance.

It features a dual-sided design with a regular mirror and a magnifying mirror, making it very practical.

② THREE

The portable mirror from THREE comes in a unisex, minimalist leather case.

Its design seems suitable as a gift for men as well.

5,170 yen (including tax)

③ atelier mado

The hand mirror from atelier mado, a small stained glass workshop in Kobe, is also stylish.

It is a brand by a designer named Madoka Yamazaki.

It has a simple yet impactful ambiance utilizing antique glass.

The shape is cute, isn't it?

There are various designs available.

Approximately 8,500 yen

④ antique arles

If you're looking for vintage hand mirrors, I recommend checking out Antique Arles, which sells antique furniture from England and France.

This hand mirror features intricate decorations sourced from France.

A genuine antique mirror can also serve as a stylish decoration in the welcome space.

⑤ KOBAKO

If you prefer to prioritize functionality over appearance, the cosmetic mirror from KAI's beauty tool brand KOBAKO seems to be a good choice.

4,180 yen (including tax)

It features a magnifying mirror approximately 10 times and an LED light on the opposite side.

This makes it easy to apply makeup in poorly lit areas like bathrooms, allowing for precise touch-ups.

Friends who are serious about their makeup will surely appreciate its functionality.

Which hand mirror caught your eye?

I introduced various types of compact mirrors from CHANEL, handmade items, vintage pieces, and those focused on functionality.

While compact mirrors sometimes appear as limited-edition novelties from brands, there are surprisingly few brands that offer them all year round...

However, they are items that make people happy when received.

So if you find a mirror you think is wonderful, it's great to give it as a thank you gift for the reception or purchase one for yourself to display at home or in the welcome area!♡
