Mother’s Day is the perfect time to say thank you for everything she does, big and small. Whether she needs a moment to relax, loves beautiful and practical things, or enjoys spending time in the kitchen, we have thoughtful gift ideas that will make her day extra special. Here are a few ways to show your love with unique gifts from Japan—because she deserves something just as wonderful as she is.
Things to Unwind from a Busy Life
Moms are busy: between work, home, and family, it can be hard to find time to unwind. Help her carve out a moment for herself to sit down and relax: offer her some Matcha-covered almonds or some green tea-flavored milk jam to enjoy with a nice cup of Japanese tea. Because we all want a relaxed mom—and because she deserves it.
Things that are beautiful and Practical
Moms are a gift, and they should look their best every day. Gift her an elegant furoshiki wrapping cloth to use as a scarf or to decorate around the house.
Choose a bag with her favorite flower so she can keep her purse organized, or a water-repellent furoshiki to carry her essentials to work.
Things to Make Everyday Life Easier
Many moms cook for themselves, their families, or love to host gatherings, but cooking often takes a lot of time. Help her save time in the kitchen so she can spend more of it with her loved ones:
- A mixing bowl with a spout for easy breakfast prep.
- A sectioned frying pan to cook multiple dishes at once.
- A wooden onigiri mold to keep homemade snacks always at hand.
A Meal Prepared With Love
Still unsure what to gift her? Why not prepare a delicious meal to enjoy together? Our Yukihira Nabe is perfect for cooking a single or double serving of her favorite dish. Serve it in one of our woven bamboo bento boxes for an original touch, and use our Sakura food cutters to decorate it beautifully.
