Kuri, you reminded me of the awful gift-giving habit in Japan. I’m glad not to be there during this time of the year! How do you see it as a foreigner?

What great suggestions! I’m always pleased with Beautiful and Happy. My mom is an Estee Lauder freak so I gave her… Paradis (I think that’s the name), it was a bit bold, and a little wild, but she ended up loving it.
I also love Sunflowers because it’s light and lush.

Funny you should ask! I pretend that I’m ignorant of it and thus evade this custom, but give little American-style gifts instead. It seems rather costly, and the range of gifts seems more constrained than I’m used to – mostly perishables and household kinds of things? A friend of mine finds it annoying; everyone gets piles of food and such – that she says don’t taste that good π – and the only really happy people are the merchants.
I haven’t tried most of the listed perfumes.

Interesting. I wonder what my friends will buy. I’ll have to do an informal poll. So, do perfumers buy perfume? π What is everyone buying this season? I have no plans to buy anything as gifts.
