My PJ gave me some homemade cookies for Valentine’s Day. They had a flavor I personally like, so I really enjoyed them.
This content is machine-translated.
Whether giving homemade sweets is appropriate has been debated, but putting that aside, is there anything you’ve received in return that you thought was especially good?
I’m not interested in things like wallets, bags, or shoes, so I’m looking for sweets or small items instead. I also plan to increase her allowance next time.
On top of that, I’d like to give her a little something extra, but I haven’t been able to find anything that feels quite right.
Thank you in advance.

That’s a lovely question!
For sweets, I’ve recently become obsessed with Brown Cheese Brother. It’s a new product from Butter no Itoko, and it’s absolutely delicious. I’d be thrilled to receive it!
As for small gifts, I’d especially love accessories—earrings in particular. I think it would be nice to either let her know your budget or ask what brands she likes.
But personally, I’d be happiest simply knowing you thought of me.

I always got a 2 in art and crafts… This is Zuiki, a clumsy-handed male member.
You must have had some reason you couldn’t ask that PJ directly, so you turned to this anonymous papa-katsu question box.
Doubling her allowance (Huh? I never said “double”?) and adding a little something extra on top—how generous of you! What a wonderful attitude!
As an alternative to flowers, how about a herbarium? It doesn’t take up much space, and with its beautiful colors, it could even be a way to show off your sense of style. It’s not the sort of thing that gets in the way if she displays it in her room, either.
If you go out somewhere besides dinner on your dates, there are even herbarium-making workshops you could try together—lol.
In any case, I’m a papa of the Mock Species in the Order of Weirdos, so please don’t take my advice seriously!
It’s just my flower-child-ish opinion—something the women I date might happen to enjoy.

You could take her out for high-end sushi—somewhere she wouldn’t normally go.
Personally, I’d love a humidifier that you can add aroma oil to. Take her to a cute variety store, and buy her something she likes when she says, “That’s cute.”
Gift cards are also a good option.

In my experience, gifts that don’t take up space or linger tend to be appreciated.
Snacks and sweets are a safe choice.
If you want to be a little more adventurous, try toner, facial cleanser, or perfume. Lipstick can be tricky, though… You could also go shopping with another woman and have her help you choose.
Either way, you’ll make her happy if you pick something she wants but wouldn’t—or couldn’t—buy for herself.
It’s also perfectly fine to let her choose, or simply ask what she wants.

Personally, I think homemade sweets are a lovely idea.
Since a gift in return is all about the thought behind it, I’d probably give her something I genuinely think tastes good.
You should definitely check for allergies beforehand, though.
By the way, the Maison de Muet shop you mentioned, Rin, looks delicious, so I’m thinking of trying it together when I go on a date with a woman from Nagoya.
Thanks for the information!
P.S.
Rin,
Sweets are great, aren’t they?
I’m restricting my carb intake, but one of my greatest pleasures is eating sweets and drinking sake at a hotel with a woman I’m seeing, haha.
When I was at Nagoya Takashimaya, I often bought Michel Belin.
This weekend, when I spend time with a woman from Tokyo, I’m thinking of bringing her some traditional Japanese sweets from Okazaki called “Wait for Me, My White Rabbit.”
Apparently, they’re a new creation inspired by *What Will Ieyasu Do?*

I’m glad you had such a wonderful Valentine’s Day!
If your handmade treats made them that happy, I’m sure you felt it was worth making them.
As for an additional gift, I really can’t say without knowing what they like. Even choosing sweets would depend on whether they like sweet things or not.
I have a huge sweet tooth—so much so that I sometimes say 80% of my body is made of sweets! Recently, I ordered some treats from Maison du Miel, a shop in Nagoya: caramel-filled cookies coated in chocolate. They were so decadently sweet that I absolutely loved them!
For a small gift, I’d personally love some jewelry—but unfortunately, I’m not the person you’re dating…
Why not ask them if there’s anything they’d like? I’d be happy with luxury cosmetics from a department store, too.
I think it’s wonderful to receive something you want. Since you clearly loved the handmade cookies, you could tell them how much you enjoyed them and ask if there’s anything they’d like as a thank-you gift.
P.S.
Dai, I’m glad I could help! I love sweets so much that I say I’m made of them, so feel free to ask me anytime—I’d love that, haha.
I’m in Tokyo and don’t get to Nagoya, but I hope you have a wonderful time there!!

Sounds like you had a lovely Valentine’s Day!
Why not ask them directly? Something like:
“Thank you for the delicious cookies yesterday.”
“I’d like to return the favor— is there anything you’d like?”
If you have a budget in mind, I think it’s fine to mention that too. You could give them what they ask for along with some nice department-store sweets as a thank-you.
If they don’t need a wallet, bag, shoes, or anything like that, I’m not sure it makes sense to buy something else just for the sake of it.
