In preparation for the year-end and New Year holidays, when you have more opportunities to give small gifts and souvenirs. I found some pretty wrapping goods at the 100-yen shop "Can Do", so I would like to introduce them.
A product called "Wrapping Mini Furoshiki" with various animal motifs. At the store I visited, four types of patterns were sold: Shiba Inu, Hachiware Cat, Squirrel, and Rabbit.
An illustration of a face in one corner of a furoshiki with a side of about 50 cm and a tail on the other side. Messages such as "present for you" and "hope you like it" are also printed in the center. It has creases at the time of purchase, so iron it and then wrap it for a beautiful finish.
The standard size for easy wrapping is 11 cm in length x 13 cm in width x 11 cm in height. Cookie cans, okaki, storage containers, etc. seem to be just right.
It might be good to put handmade sweets in such a container
Place the present in the center of the unfolded furoshiki and fold back the corner with the tail drawn on it.
Cover with the corner with the face drawn and tie both sides to complete. At this time, if you tie it with a "true knot" so that it does not become a vertical knot, it will look more like an ear and
it will be easier to untie. Tie it so that the other end is covered from above
The knot is right next to it
Depending on the size of the wrapping, the ears may become longer or shorter, and the facial expression may change. Not only wrapping, but you can also use it as a lunch box or as a dust shield for things you don't usually use.
An eco-friendly item that can be used without throwing away the recipient. The price is, of course, 100 yen (excluding tax)!
