We also recommend gifting it with your partner's favorite alcoholic beverage or juice.
Things that would be nice to have on the table
![](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0824/8413/4185/files/138192351_o3.jpg)
I wish I had it, but I don't have it because it's not a necessity...
For example, you can use a mug instead of a soup cup, but if you have a soup cup, your dining table will feel richer.
Even if you have one, you probably don't have a lot of it.
Similarly, teapots and cups and saucers are also good.
Things that match your hobbies and preferences
![](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0824/8413/4185/files/129086295_o6.jpg)
When it comes to things that people can use, we recommend ones that match their hobbies.
If you are gifting a gift to someone who loves cooking, choose a plate with a design that will make the food stand out.
For those who love animals, a plate with an animal on it would be nice.
Things that match the interior
![](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0824/8413/4185/files/130688019_o8.jpg)
If you have ever visited your partner's home, we recommend using tableware that matches the interior of the room.
How about a gorgeous bean plate that can also be used as an accessory tray?
Also, glasses and pitchers that can be used as flower vases are also great.
Stylish tableware with carefully designed designs can be used for a wide range of purposes, from everyday use to entertaining.
Something to remember
![](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0824/8413/4185/files/image9-1.jpeg)
For birthday gifts, we also recommend commemorative items with initials or names engraved on them.
However, adding a name may take some time.
Order early to get it in time for your birthday.
Also, ear plates with the year of gifting or the year of birth written on them are also good memories.

How to give a birthday present
Market price of birthday gifts
There is no particular limit on the amount of birthday presents.
It would be a good idea to make a difference depending on your relationship with the other person.
The general guidelines are as follows.
For friends: 3,000 yen to 10,000 yen
Work colleagues/clients: 3,000 yen yen - 10,000 yen
Brothers/sisters: 5,000 yen - 10,000 yen
When should I give it to you? A smart way to pass
![](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0824/8413/4185/files/68b48f5e9508d6144d3a3955f292df43.jpg)
If possible, it is best to give a birthday present on the day of the birthday or within 3 days before or after the birthday.
If the recipient is busy or lives far away, it is not a violation of etiquette to deliver the item.
Since you can't hand it over at that time, being particular about the wrapping and message will convey your feelings even more.
If the gift will be delayed for more than 3 days, it would be a good idea to just send a congratulatory message via email or phone on the day of the gift, and have it delivered or hand-delivered at a later date.
Also, you should be careful about giving surprise gifts because you are close to them.
If the recipient doesn't like surprises, it's best to avoid forcing them to give surprises.
Things to keep in mind when sending birthday gifts
・Be careful of the number of items!
Things that are associated with suffering, death, etc. are taboo.
When gifting a set of tableware, avoid unlucky numbers such as 4 and 9.
・Be careful when giving tea!
Some people do not like tea because it is often used in funeral ceremonies.
If you want to give tea as a gift, why not choose black tea or herbal tea instead of Japanese tea?
It has long been said that it is bad luck to give tableware as a gift for celebrations.
However, if you are giving it to an elderly person, be careful as some may be concerned about it.
