A Unique Gift for Parents: Adorable Handmade Bear-Shaped Mugs from "Yuu Kobo"

So Cute! I Want It!

Hello, I'm Haruno Tsuzaki, the editor-in-chief of Marry＊

It's become a standard practice for the bride and groom to present a "Parents' Gift" to their parents at the end of the wedding as a token of gratitude for raising and watching over them.

Besides the typical bouquets and illustrations, I think handmade items like three-piece clocks or commemorative boards are particularly popular, but

it can be quite challenging to choose a gift that is both

☑ highly practical

☑ and cute, right??

So while I was searching Instagram thinking, "Hmm, is there something cute out there?", I found it♡

A super cute Parents' Gift!!!

Here it is♩

A bear-shaped mug with a cute bear face!!

【Available at various studios nationwide】 You can make it at Yu Koubou!

This bear-shaped mug can be crafted at the ceramics studio 'Yu Koubou', which has classes in nine locations nationwide including Osaka, Tokyo, Nagoya, and Fukuoka＊

It's popular as a gift for parents at weddings and also for occasions like Father's Day and Mother's Day, and you can also make rice bowls and teacups in addition to mugs.

Create a one-of-a-kind piece by drawing your own face and shaping it♡

The mug-making process starts with kneading the clay and shaping it, allowing for free changes in outline and expressions, which is a great charm♩♩

It's nice to imagine the faces of the parents you’ll be presenting it to and try to make similar faces♡

You can also paint on the sides of the mug, so you can dress it up or write a message to get creative♩

The wrapping is cute too♡

Yu Koubou offers wrapping services for the ceramics made, and that wrapping is also very cute♡

It's in a transparent box, making it look like the bear is floating in mid-air!!

When you receive it, you’ll definitely be surprised, "Wow!"

With both cuteness and impact, as well as practicality, items like mugs and teacups can be used daily＊

The price is 12,000 yen for two＊

This bear-shaped mug costs 12,000 yen for a set of two, including the experience of going to the studio to actually do pottery making and receiving the finished products.

It's the perfect price for a Parents' Gift.

It seems there are studios in Omotesando and Ginza in Tokyo.

This mug is so cute, I really want to try making it too....!

It's unique, cute, practical, and I highly recommend it as a Parents' Gift♡
