HELLO! TOKYO TOURS | 5 JAPANESE-THEMED MOTHERS DAY GIFT IDEAS

HELLO! TOKYO TOURS GUIDE TO MOTHERS DAY

With mothers day coming up soon, why not plan a mothers day gift with a Japanese twist to it? You can purchase lots of Japanese things at places like Daiso (online or in-store) or Sugoi Mart (online). Or you can even check out our Holiday by Post Program for unique, specialized gifts from Japan! (more details below). With our list below, you can combine and mix them up for an ultimate mothers day gift! This will be the perfect replacement for not being able to come on a Tokyo tours this year!

Origami

If your mom is the art and crafts type of person - maybe making origami together is the perfect mothers day activity! You can order origami from places such as amazon or buy them at Daiso. There are hundreds of YouTube videos to help you make origami - you can even go for the classic Japanese crane together.

Create a Japanese meal

Make your moms day special with a home cooked Japanese meal. Most Japanese ingredients can be found at regular supermarkets or Asian super markets. You can check out our Food Guide’s recipe page for some easy delicious Japanese food!

Bonsai trees

Mother’s Day flowers are nice, but how about a bonsai tree? If your mom is into taking care of plants and gardening, its the perfect gift! Many plant shops will offer bonsai trees, all you’ll need is a simple bonsai kit (which you can typically find online somewhere) to “craft” the bonsai and you’re good to go!

Subscribe to Holiday by Post

Every month we will send you a postcard and a thoughtfully chosen local gift with a video blog telling you more about your gift and the place that we bought it. Covid-19 has destroyed our livelihoods. Your monthly membership fee will provide our team with some much needed income. In return we will select meaningful souvenirs, write a heartfelt message and offer you discounts on future tours, when we can all travel freely again. Check it out here

Watch a Japanese movie/show

This activity is probably better if you pair one or two of the ones mentioned above. Most streaming services will have a good selection of Japanese movies. You can always check out YouTube and Amazon to rent the movies as well! For a good list of Japanese movies check out our film guide for more information.
