Standard Practice: Wrapping and Then Placing in a Bag!

When giving gifts equal to age, it's common practice to wrap the gifts at the store and then conceal them with paper bags or wrapping paper so that the contents are not visible.

You can use the same type of paper bag to keep it uniform,

or create a cohesive look with the same color while showcasing different sizes and variations, such as larger items with smaller ones and boxes ♡

Many people use craft bags or paper bags, but using pure white bags can also be cute!＊

Commonly used for gifts equal to age are paper bags called "gusset-bottom bags" or "delivery bags" which do not have handles. ＊

Specify the Order of Unwrapping 📝

When giving gifts equal to age, it's standard to specify the order of unwrapping instead of letting the recipient choose randomly.

<Example Order 1>

Start with a smaller main gift to build excitement ➡ funny items or snacks as cheaper gifts ➡ a memory album or letters ➡ finish with the main gift

<Example Order 2>

Begin with small, quantity-based gifts, gradually moving to more luxurious ones!

<Example Order 3>

Deciding on a theme can also be fun! ♡

✅ Items 1-5 are work-related (tie, cufflinks, socks, shirt, etc.)

✅ Items 6-10 are for an upcoming trip together (travel bag, clothes, shoes, etc.)

✅ Items 11-15 are beauty items (face masks, creams, lotions, body sponges, etc.)

Although it’s common to specify an order, allowing the recipient to unwrap gifts from their choice of boxes adds excitement.

Keeping the main gift hidden and handing it over last might be a good idea too! ♡

For numbering, using cut-out gift number templates is convenient! ♡ (Price is 1,122 yen (good couple! ♡))
