I’m a female member, and I’ve never given my papa a gift before.

I’m in Seattle. I really don’t need material things. I’ve already bought everything I want. I’d be happy with something different from the usual, like cosplaying or giving a massage, along with kind words.

Maezawa from the CEO’s Office will answer as well. Thank you for your questions. ① Is it nice to receive something from your papa on his birthday, Christmas, or White Day? Can it ever be a nuisance? I think it’s the thought that counts, so giving him something small and heartfelt would be a good idea. ② Is there anything in particular that would make him happy to receive? It probably depends on the person, so it’s more important to figure out what your papa would like. ③ If you met around Christmas and aren’t very close yet, should you still give him a present? I think he’d be happy if you gave him something. It’s not really the item itself that makes him happy, but the thought behind it, so I think something small would be best.

I’m Kazu, a male member. I assume most papas already own anything they really want that they can simply buy for themselves. So there probably isn’t much they actually need. What makes a papa happy is receiving someone’s feelings or sharing a special experience. I think it’s nice to give him an experience you hadn’t allowed yourself to share with a papa before. ① Things that are more of a burden are items he probably wouldn’t buy for himself but would have to take home. ② As I mentioned above, a special experience. ③ If you’ve only recently met and aren’t very close yet, you probably don’t need to give him anything in particular. That said, giving him something might become one reason for the relationship to continue. I don’t think there’s much point in giving him something worth just a few thousand yen, but a safe, practical gift I’ve received from a woman I met through Universe was a handkerchief.
