My papa (a male supporter) asked what I’d like for Christmas, and I’m torn.
This content is machine-translated.
A VUITTON bag I can use for years
A Prada backpack
A Cartier watch
Those are the options.
Apparently, my papa was planning to give me a FOXEY coat since I don’t have one.
I do want a coat, but I’d also like one of the things listed above. How can I ask him in a cute way?
Or would it be better to choose just one?

To that papa, a woman wearing a FOXEY coat may look especially attractive. So I think he would probably be pleased if you went along with his preference.
I agree with Aya’s answer.
What we want for ourselves and what looks good from an outside perspective can be completely different. I think simply trying to go along with it could also lead to discovering something new about yourself.
Of course, since he asked for your opinion, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with sticking to your own wishes, either.

Seattle.
A Cartier watch costs 400,000 yen? I was shocked. Wouldn’t 16,000 yen in cash be enough? My own watch only cost 980 yen. You don’t really need a wristwatch these days, do you? Oh, so that’s not the point.
If you’ve got your papa (a male supporter) completely wrapped around your finger, you can probably get away with anything if you act cute and sweet—including asking for the whole thing.

I’m so under the spell of my favorite girl that I lose all restraint and buy her anything she asks for…
But I’d rather leave Cartier watches out of it…
Ah, but it sounds like my favorite girl isn’t materialistic after all…
As for what I’d tell the man: say you’d like a Prada backpack or a Louis Vuitton wallet, then go shopping together. Once you’re there, you’ll probably find a bag you genuinely like. There should be plenty of stores nearby, too.
P.S. If you’re looking at brands in that range, it might also be nice to have him choose and buy something for you. If he picks exactly what you like, it’ll be a wonderful surprise; if not, you can simply go exchange it together. Choosing something can be fun, too. Two chances to be happy.

This is Joe. I’m a watch enthusiast, so please allow me to offer my thoughts on watches.
Joe himself has been asked for one, and I’ve seen the request come up quite often in the Q&A box, but Cartier watches really are popular, aren’t they?
The reason I wouldn’t feel inclined to give one as a gift isn’t just the price—it’s also because Cartier isn’t a true watch manufacture. If your papa is particular about watches, he might not be thrilled by a request for a Cartier.
If you want a watch and your papa likes watches, I’d suggest asking for a Grand Seiko—specifically a Spring Drive, not a quartz model. Though I suppose that’s none of my business. My apologies!

I’m Osaka, a male member.
I’d say just ask cutely, like you usually do ♡
I can’t think of any particularly special advice.
That said, when people ask for detailed advice about situations that are still ongoing, don’t they ever consider that the person involved might see this? Or are they deliberately posting with the understanding that, even if that person does see it, the message will still get through?
If I were the person involved, I’d be torn between losing 7 kilos from the shock, changing the present to a ¥16,000 necklace, or blocking them.
Are you okay?

I’m Aya, a female member.
For that papa (a male supporter), a woman wearing a FOXY coat may be especially appealing. So I think he’d be happier if you went along with his preference.
But if there’s something else you really want, you could say something like: “I’d be really happy with a coat too, but FOXY coats cost around ¥700,000, and I’d be scared of getting such an expensive coat dirty (>_<). I’d probably be nervous about taking care of it, too. I already have an inexpensive coat, so I’d rather have ○○—like a watch or a bag♡”
Then see how your papa reacts. If he really wants to give you a coat, he’ll probably tell you so.
