Memo
Nosu・Mizuhiki
Ten red and white *musubi-kiri* (for "once-in-a-lifetime" celebrations). The outer packaging should be labeled with either "Kotobuki" (寿) or "Gokekkon Oiwai" (御結婚御祝).
Time to send
Ideally within one month of discovery, regardless of whether a ceremony is held or not.
Market Rate (Reference for Wedding Gifts)
Friends 20,000-30,000 yen, siblings 30,000-50,000 yen, and so on, with the amount varying based on relationship and age. If it's just a gift, make sure the amount isn't so high that it makes the recipient feel awkward.
No Good/Caution
It's best to avoid bladed items (they evoke the idea of "cutting ties").
Crafts that bring joy
Matching chopsticks and bowls, engraved glasses, wooden boards, fabrics and furoshiki, durable everyday tableware.
