Hello everyone. It's Kitsuneya.
Today's theme is an article about gifts for women.
The content is that Japanese women may not like to receive "flowers" as gifts. Of course, it is true that there are many women in Japan who are happy to receive a bouquet! Even if you make a mistake, don't think that "Japanese women = you don't need flowers"!
Did 40% of Japanese women say "I'm not happy to receive flowers"?
According to a certain questionnaire, about 40% of the respondents answered, "I'm not happy to receive flowers as gifts." There are reasons for each, so I'll explain them later, but they may not be very popular. Even on sites that post questions about Japan, there are conspicuous opinions such as "I don't want to get a bouquet" and "I'm having a little trouble with a bouquet as a gift." Why do Japanese women not want to be presented with flowers? The reason was roughly predicted, so I will write the contents. It's not my opinion because it's the answer I got in my research. Please be careful!
① I want a gift other than a bouquet.
Well, this is the opinion that "I don't want to have only a bouquet as a gift for birthdays and Christmas." You may understand this a little. If you want to give a bouquet as a gift, prepare another gift!
② It is troublesome to maintain.
Flowers are also living things. Many people think that if you don't change the water every day, it will get dirty and will soon die and become garbage. There was also an opinion that "there is no place to put a fine bouquet". Housing in Japan is not as big as in other countries. Therefore, there are some opinions that it is not possible to secure a space to decorate the flowers.
③ I can't throw it away ...
Many people said, "I'm glad to receive it as a memorial! But I'm sad that it has withered and I have no choice but to throw it away." A gift that the other person put their feelings into. Many women want to keep it for a long time. However, for long-lasting preserved flowers and dried flowers, there were many opinions that it was "I don't know how long I should have it!". I don't want to throw it away right away, but it's annoying to have it all the time. Well, it's difficult.
④ Hand over the bouquet and don't get drunk on yourself!
In Japan, there is an opinion that a man who presents a bouquet to a woman looks like a narcissist. Of course, no one thinks that way for lovers, husbands, dads and children! perhaps···. However, it is a fact that there are some women who think "I'm cool when I give flowers to girls?" If you want to give a flower as a gift, please give it casually.
There were other opinions like this.
・ I don't have a vase at home.
・ It's a shame to bring it home.
・ Things are better than flowers.
・ I'm happy if it's my favorite flower, but I don't need anything else.
・ I'm not interested in flowers in the first place.
Etc
There are various reasons, but the opinions of women who feel that they don't need flowers are like this. I was a little sad when I looked it up!
In the first place, there are few people in Japan who decorate their homes with flowers!
Not many Japanese people buy flowers to decorate their rooms. There is no culture to decorate flowers on a daily basis. Therefore, many people do not have a vase at home, and younger people tend to do so. I don't know the reason in detail,
・ Wither in a certain period = Do not buy things that become garbage in a certain period.
・ I feel that the price of flowers is high.
・ There is no concrete benefit even if the flowers are in the room.
Such will be considered. Certainly, the price of Japanese flowers feels high. It may be difficult for the price to drop because there are not many purchasers. If it's a rose, it's about 300 to 500 yen for 3 bottles. A single rose with a large flower may cost ¥ 500. Many people are reluctant to pay ¥ 500 for something that must be thrown away in a certain period of time. Because of these factors, I don't decorate the group on a daily basis, so I think I'm reluctant to receive it as a gift. Also, I don't have many opportunities to receive flowers as gifts, and I think it's one of the reasons that I'm not used to "getting flowers" because it's about when I retire from a wedding ceremony or work or leave the hospital. increase.
From here on, it's my personal impression, but I hope you'll be honestly pleased if you give it to me. LOL
This time, when writing this article, I referred to the answers from question sites, but I feel a little lonely. There were quite a lot of opinions such as "I prefer cash instead of a bouquet", "I prefer a bag", and "I told you I don't need it anymore." I felt that few people think that "handing a bouquet = I want to convey my feelings." "I want something better than a useless flower." I know what I mean, but I wondered if it was a pity that only such an opinion came out without feeling happy.
Up to here for this time.
Do you have many opportunities to hand over flowers in your country? Do you like the bouquet as a gift?
Not all Japanese women need a bouquet. That's never the case. Many of the women around me are very pleased when they give flowers as gifts. It depends on the person, after all.
See you soon.
