Over the Twelve Boxer Shorts: ¥3,888 each

For a gift that's sure to get a laugh, I'd like to recommend these boxer shorts from Over the Twelve.

One of our female editors even bought them as a thoughtful gift for her beer-loving partner (lol).
Of course, the body of the shoe is made of a fluffy, original pile material, making it very comfortable to wear.
