Hello. I'm Nike, a housewife in her 40s.

February is Valentine's Day, so this time, I would like to introduce you to a gift that you can easily give to a milestone in your relationship, a seasonal event, or your dad's birthday.

Having said that, it is a dad activity, so of course there is no need for women to give luxury items.

In the first place, what I can buy as a housewife is quite limited.

So, without worrying too much, I picked up simple things that even housewives can afford.

All of them are things that I have actually given as a present to regulars.

Even if a married man receives it, he chooses something that is easy to receive without worrying about his wife finding out.

I would be happy if it could be a reference for everyone at pj.

SHIRO soap gel 80 (¥ 3,080)

In the midst of the corona crisis, sterilization and disinfection goods such as gels and wet wipes have become something that everyone, regardless of gender or age, has become familiar with.

As a gift, I chose SHIRO's and gave it to Mr. Teiji.

It seems that Mr. Regular leaves it on his desk at work.

Unless you're a dad who doesn't like scents, I think SHIRO, SABON, and L'Occitane can be used as elegant, light gifts.

PARKER ballpoint pen (5,500 yen)

PARKER's IM Premium was given to you as an early Christmas present.

I gave this as a gift to use at work.

Many of the dads are married, so it's a bit difficult for dads to accept what they wear and use at home.

I recommend using something like a ballpoint pen, or something you can leave at work, so you don't have to worry about your wife's eyes.

Starbucks card (¥1,000~)

When I gave a Starbucks card to a regular, the return taxi fare that was given to me on the previous date was quite high, so I returned it instead of change.

The good thing about the Starbucks card is that it's compact and doesn't get in the way, that almost everyone has the opportunity to go to Starbucks, and you can also benefit from it.

Later, while waiting for the restaurant to open, we drank coffee together at Starbucks and bought a matching mug.

It is my usual flow to have a cup of tea with regular customers while I wait for the lunch time at the restaurant to start, so I am happy that in the end I will be able to return the money.

ESTEBAN card fragrance (2,750 yen)

This is also a scented item, but we also recommend card fragrances that you can hide in your wallet or business card holder and enjoy the scent without getting in the way.

The ESTEBAN one comes in a pack of 5, and I had a regular person open it on the spot and give me one.

I think that sharing scents has the effect of increasing intimacy with people, so I would like to have some scent goods in common with my dad who wants to deepen relationships and increase allowances. I would like you to try it.

By the way, there are several types of ESTEBAN card fragrances, but the green note is safe for men.

Kakitane Kitchen Cheese in Kakitane (¥540)

I don't often give regular food as gifts, but I simply love Kakitanane from Kakitane Kitchen, so I thought, "Hey, hey, this is delicious, so try it!" .

After all, as long as you don't know exactly what the other person likes when it comes to food gifts, I think you can start by recommending what you like.

If a woman says, "I tried it and it was delicious, so please try it," even if the taste isn't to your liking, your dad won't be offended.

I gave him all three flavors, truffle salt, smoked salt, and black pepper, and asked him which flavor he liked.

From there, you can get a sense of what kind of taste your dad likes, so you can use it to make suggestions for dinner dates.

Extra: Be careful when sending photos to your dad!

I usually don't take selfies at all, but sometimes I send photos to my beloved regulars.

Whether it's a "gift" or not, I once sent him a picture of him in his underwear (face not visible).

I jokingly told him, "I want ANNEBRA's lingerie because I want to show it to him."

So I was able to buy it without telling my husband, and as a promise, I took a picture and sent it to you.

Of course, I can do this because I have a relationship of trust with Mr. Regular, and in my case, I like Mr. Regular as a man.

To be honest, I don't recommend sending sensitive images or photos that could lead to personal information to your dad.

By the way, after that, I received additional electronic money as "photo fee" ♪

There is such a lucky lol

Petit gift is a chance to raise the allowance

Some of the young pj's may think, "Why do I have to give presents?!" Not even.

Also, this is my personal experience, but unfortunately, even if you give a gift while your relationship with your dad is still shallow (meeting, second or third meal, etc.), it is not a guarantee that you will definitely receive it. yeah.

However, after the relationship has deepened to some extent, I think that giving gifts to dads as a way to express their intentions that "I want to have a good relationship for a long time♡" is quite effective as a dad activity strategy.

In fact, I have received about 40 to 50 times the total amount of presents I have given so far from regulars.

For me, papa-katsu is not aimed at getting a bang from a big dad in a short period of time, but it is something that will show results by continuing with a dad who can maintain a stable and calm relationship over the medium to long term.

Think of it as an upfront investment that will eventually be returned to you, so please consider making a small gift for your dad on Valentine's Day.
