【Summer Gift】 Are You Okay with Gift-Giving Etiquette?

One of the events that becomes closer when you get married is the summer "O-chugen."

O-chugen is an important occasion to express gratitude to friends and those who have helped you.

Those who have received gifts from their parents until now must start preparing seasonal gifts on their own after establishing a new household with their partner.

If you're thinking, "I haven't thought about O-chugen at all!" you need to be careful. The period for sending O-chugen gifts varies by region; in Eastern Japan, it's typically from July 1st to around July 15th, while in Western Japan, it's from July 15th to around August 15th. So you need to arrange it immediately! (Gifts sent after the 16th are considered "cooling-off greetings.")

☑ Parents

☑ Relatives

☑ Company supervisors

☑ Teachers who have taught you

☑ Those who have given you wedding gifts, etc...

Is there anyone you forgot to send a summer greeting to?

This time, we will introduce stylish O-chugen gifts that are still in time! We have gathered tasteful gifts that will make your recipients say, "I've never received a gift like this!"
