Sorry if this has already been asked.

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here as well. Thank you for your question. Basically, I think most men already own the things they genuinely want. So it may be difficult to choose a gift based on what he wants. With that in mind, I previously suggested a ballpoint pen because it’s something he wouldn’t have trouble receiving: - Having several wouldn’t be a problem. - There are plenty of designs to choose from. - It wouldn’t seem suspicious if he suddenly had another one—whether to his wife or another girlfriend. As for what kind of ballpoint pen to choose, he probably already owns the ones he personally likes. So I think you should give him one that you yourself think is nice—perhaps because you like the design. That way, he might think, “This is the ballpoint pen I like, but this other one I received is interesting too. I didn’t even know pens like this existed.” Even if he doesn’t use it, I think he’ll remember receiving an interesting ballpoint pen. A pen that combines a mechanical pencil and a ballpoint pen could work as well. Other options might be: - Business card holder: He might be asked why he changed it. - Tie: Too suspicious. - Key case: Someone observant might notice. So I think it comes down to a fountain pen or a ballpoint pen, but the ballpoint pen is probably the most versatile. Another possibility is a knife, since I think a fair number of men are interested in them—but a knife may exceed your budget.

I’m in Seattle. Personally, I’d be happiest if he gave me a massage for about 30 minutes. If it has to be a gift, maybe treat me to a meal at your favorite restaurant, keeping it under ¥15,000. It could be cheaper, too. Though I guess that isn’t really a gift.
