December is here, and the exciting holiday season is fast approaching again.

Many of you are probably looking for gifts for those you're grateful for, for someone special, or as a reward for yourselves after working hard all year.

This time, we asked 5 staff members what they would choose from UNDECORATED items as a gift, and for whom. Please take a look for gift inspiration.

―Staff A: "For my beloved wife," a warmth that gently envelops

I chose the Super100s Cashmere Wool Beaver Coat / GRAY as a Christmas present for my wife.

My wife often travels by bicycle, and I overheard her saying she was looking for a light and warm coat. It's not too long and won't get caught in the tires when she's cycling, so I thought it would be a perfect gift.

―Staff B: "For my mother who gently watches over me," a bag perfect for daily use

I want to give my mother, who lives in Fukuoka, the Cotton Cabas / L.

My mother shops daily for groceries and necessities for our family. It must be tough carrying all those bags, and it's hard for me to help her when I'm not nearby. So, with the wish that "at least her trip home from shopping would be a little easier," I chose the L size of the Cotton Cabas, which is ideal for shopping.

The Natural color perfectly matches the impression of my kind mother, who always watches over me.

―Staff C: "For my understanding husband," I can't pick just one, so I'll add this too

I'd like to give the Cotton Pile Socks *Set to my husband, who is my greatest supporter.

They're basic colors that can be paired with any outfit, so they'll get a lot of wear, and I also chose them because they're easy to combine with other things I want to give.

This year, we even bought an advent calendar to get into the holiday spirit together as a couple.

―Staff D: "For my best friend who always supports me," I want to give them peaceful time itself

I chose the FRAMA｜Deep Forest Scented Candle 170 g as a gift for my best friend. I put my wish into it, hoping that my friend, who is always busy working, would "relax a little with an aroma candle."

DEEP FOREST has a calming scent reminiscent of trees, and I think it's perfect for healing a tired mind and body. It would be a nice gift for myself too.

―Staff E: "For my new girlfriend," a gift that fits perfectly into daily life

I chose the Gyōza Bag / BLACK for my girlfriend, with whom I'll be spending Christmas for the first time.

Since we haven't been dating for long, I'm thinking, "I don't want to give something too over-the-top...," but the Gyōza Bag feels like the perfect first gift.

The black color goes well with any outfit. He doesn't usually carry a bag, but this would be perfect for "just popping out" kind of outings.

So, were there any stories that resonated with you?

There are various people we want to give gifts to.
