Could you give me some advice on birthday presents?
This content is machine-translated.
Women often receive gifts regularly and may request something specific for their birthdays, but what do you usually give the men?
As an ordinary person, I have no idea what wealthy men like.
I imagine it depends on their age, whether they’re married or single, their hobbies, and so on, but please share what you’ve given them in the past—or what you’ve received yourself!
What gifts were well received or made you happy? I’d love to hear your ideas!
Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office here as well.
Men generally have enough disposable income to buy most of what they want themselves.
That’s why it’s the thought behind the gift that makes them happy.

I’m Flag Maker, a column writer.
Here are a few ideas that came to mind:
- Practical business accessories (pens, ties, belts, etc.)
- Snacks you can share at a love hotel (small portions are appreciated)
For example, since we’re right in the middle of COVID restrictions, you could bring things into the love hotel and throw them a birthday party? Whether they’d enjoy it probably depends on the person, though ^^;
For my partner’s birthday, I usually sing “Happy Birthday” at the top of my lungs at the love hotel and then give her a present. At Christmas, I sing Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” at karaoke before handing over the gift.
She probably finds it pretty off-putting, but I sing loudly enough to drown that out lol.

I agree with Paper Airplane. Just knowing they’re thinking of me is more than enough, and sometimes receiving a gift can actually put me in an awkward spot.
For example, if I’m given food, I can brush it off on weekdays by saying it’s related to work, but on weekends I have to come up with an excuse. I’d appreciate something understated, like a small item or office supply—something I could plausibly say I replaced myself when the old one was genuinely getting worn out.
Please take the other person’s circumstances into consideration when choosing a gift.

As the gentleman “Epic Papa-Katsu” mentioned, I think this would make a very good impression on single men.
As a married man, though, I feel more comfortable not bringing anything home, so the thought alone is more than enough.
I make a point of never bringing anything home or leaving any trace behind.
That’s why I don’t accept gifts, but there was one woman who seemed to pay close attention to things I used and might soon replace, and she would give me a gift at just the right time.
Even then, I’d be on pins and needles, wondering what questions my wife might ask.
