「プレゼント」What would you like to receive as a Christmas present?

 Hello everyone.

I'm Kitsuneya, who runs a Japanese doodle blog.

The other day, "Ranking of things that I'm not happy to receive as Christmas gifts" was announced, so I would like to introduce it.

This ranking is just "Japan", so I don't think it matches other countries, but please compare how it differs from your own country!

Let's announce the ranking! !!

Ranking of things that Japanese people are not happy to receive as Christmas gifts for men

1st  perfume

2nd  money

3rd  bouquet

4th  pierced earrings

6th  necklace

6th  What I chose without asking for hope

8th  underwear

10th  business card holder pass case

10th  ring

It became such a ranking.

"Perfume" and "bouquet" were ranked high for both men and women.

I understand that perfume has a taste, so if you get a scent that you don't like, you'll be in trouble, but bouquets aren't popular either.

Bouquets are not popular in Japan, not just for Christmas. The reason is that many people think that getting a bouquet is of no use. There are quite a lot of Japanese people who say, "I'm in trouble because getting flowers is useless." "I don't have a vase at home." I feel sad about this situation. The bouquet is supposed to convey feelings, but the Japanese are not thinking about it. I hope this situation will change even a little.


Another thing I was interested in was "I chose it without asking for hope." In other words, this answer seems to be "I'm not happy if it's not what I want." There may be "I want you to hear your hope", but Japanese people may basically say "I want you to give me something that is in your own interest".


It makes me sad to end up with this ranking alone, so this time I will introduce the "Ranking of things that I am happy to receive as a gift for Christmas".


Ranking of things that I'm happy to receive as gifts for Christmas Women's edition

1st  I want you to hear your hope

2nd  A trip for two people

3rd  A meal for two people

4th  necklace

5th  ring

6th  pierced earrings

7th  Sweets 

8th  Home appliances

11th  money

11th  skin care goods cosmetics

The first place for women was "I want you to hear your hope." Well, that's right lol

I'm curious about 2nd and 3rd place. The contents are "a trip for two people" and "a meal for two people". From this answer, isn't it possible that Japanese women value "memories" more than "things"? I think that. If she's wondering what to give to her Japanese girlfriend, why not go on a trip or a meal with her?

Next is the men's edition.

2nd  wallet

3rd  watch

4th  I want you to hear your hope

7th  A trip for two people

7th  handmade

7th  home cooking

8th  liquor

12th  Meal for two people

12th  sweets

12th  tie

12th  shoes


It seems that men tend to want something that can be used in business cases. It was very surprising that the first place was "clothes". Also, travel and meals, which were in the top three for women, vary among men, and Japanese men may be happy to receive "functional things" rather than "memories."


From this result, you can understand that Japanese dating may not go well.

Women tend to emphasize "memories" and men tend to emphasize "functionality".

Well, it's difficult!
