Around the author in Alaska, I have heard a lot of happy news of congratulations & births this year. Since some of my friends had not been able to celebrate yet, I am thinking of giving them gifts on the occasion of Christmas. So, I gathered up the latest items recommended for families with small children, such as furniture and toys.


The latest toys that adults will want to play with too? The latest toys that adults will want to play with too.

This is the taste of Japan! Hajimete no Omamegoto (Onigiri Shop Set)"


Hajimete no Omamegoto (Onigiri-ya-san Set)" from the "Hajimete no Omamegoto Series" of "Woody Puddy Puddy" is a wooden toy that lets you make onigiri (rice balls) by combining various parts. The price is 3,780 yen.

The set includes four types of onigiri with magnets, seven types of nori, salmon, and other ingredients, and even comes with a take-out bag and tray. It offers a wide range of playtime fun.

The company is also accepting reservations for a "kitchen stand" (19,440 yen), which includes a stove, sink, and oven, as a more authentic plaything item. Will this make him a good cook in the future?



Touch de Study Talking Mat" to enjoy with friends.


The "Touch de Study Talking Mat" from baby products company Katohji is a toy that teaches children names and sounds by touching illustrations of animals and other objects on the mat with a pen. It is sure to be a hit with all the friends at the Christmas party. The price is 10,800 yen.


◆Waza-ari baby furniture that can also be used for interior decoration

"SPECTRUM", an innovative combination of acrylic and wood


SPECTRUM" is a line of furniture for kids created by the designer group "o-d-a". The balance of transparency and warmth created by the collaboration of different materials (acrylic and wood) is fresh, and there are a total of eight color variations to choose from to match your interior design. The lineup includes three items: kids' chairs (13,824 yen), tables (17,064 yen), and stools (9,504 yen).

Sukusuku Chair EN, a baby chair that can also be used by adults


The latest model of baby chair, "Sukusuku Chair EN," released by Yamatoya in November, is a chair whose seat and footboard can be finely adjusted in height according to the growth of the child. It allows everyone from a sitting baby to an adult to sit in a position where they can reach their feet.

The chair is packed with various features, such as a guard that can be removed without using tools and a structure that allows the table to be easily rotated backward, and is available in a wide variety of colors. The price is 14,580 yen for the model with table and 13,500 yen for the model with guard only.



◆Items to keep moms and babies warm and protected on outings

Don't forget to take care of moms pushing strollers in the cold winter. The gloves are attached to the handle to wrap hands in warmth. Price: ¥3,240.


Gelato Pique, a popular relaxed wear brand for women, also offers very charming kids' wear. We recommend the "moco moco'powder'kids" series waist warmers. With a price of 1,512 yen, it makes a great little gift, so it may be a must-sell item.


The gift can be given jointly with someone else, depending on your budget. Everyone loves Christmas, from adults to children. Why don't you become Santa this year?

All prices include tax.
