3. BEAUTY FACE MASK

For the Self-Care Enthusiast

Beauty Face Mask

Bring the luxurious spa experience home with Japanese facial sheet masks. A staple in Japan, these masks range from hydrating and collagen-boosting to anti-aging varieties. They’re a thoughtful and affordable way to encourage self-care during the busy holiday season.

 

4. AN IMMERSION IN JAPANESE GASTRONOMY

For the Food Lover

Sen Omakase

Memories made through food are some of the most meaningful. Gift someone an omakase experience, featuring a curated menu of seasonal bites that showcase Japanese techniques and flavors. For inspiration, think of menus like the one at Sen Omakase in Madrid—a truly unforgettable culinary journey.

 

5. KUMIKO COASTER KIT & CERAMIC MUGS

For Creative Hands

Kumiko set
This hands-on gift combines creativity and tradition, allowing the recipient to build their own decorative coasters. Each kit includes all the wooden pieces needed to craft two coasters, and two ceramic mugs. A perfect blend of craftsmanship and functionality.

 

6. COZY SOCKS

For the Comfort Seeker

Socks

As Christmas approaches, there’s no better gift than warmth. Redcast offers cozy knit socks made in Japan from premium materials like wool, alpaca or cashmere—perfect for treating friends, family, or even yourself. A simple yet thoughtful gesture that ensures comfort throughout the winter.

 

7. KINTGUSI KIT

For the Artist Heart

Kintsugi kit

Kintsugi, the art of repairing broken ceramics with gold, is a stunning way to turn imperfections into something beautiful. Highlighting cracks instead of hiding them, this practice embodies the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi—finding beauty in imperfection. A kintsugi kit is a meaningful and creative gift for anyone who appreciates art, mindfulness, or unique décor.

 

8. HANDCRAFT GLASS TEAPOT

For the Tea Lover

Glass Teapot

There's no better way to relax than with a warm cup of tea. A friend who values their tea brewed with fresh leaves would just love this teapot. The organic round shape of the glassware and the stylish brass handler create a cosy vibe that invites everyone to want to make a tea ritual.

This holiday season, go beyond the usual gifts and embrace the thoughtfulness and artistry of Japanese-inspired presents. Spread joy with a touch of Japan this Christmas!
