Kakei : "Based on customer requests, we select and suggest items from each floor of Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building , transcending brand boundaries. We often receive requests for gifts from women to men, or presents for business associates."

Gifts for lovers, family, friends, and colleagues... Choosing a present is always a headache, even though you want to see the recipient's happy face. Men's Attendant , who assist customers across all floors of Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building , often receive inquiries from people looking for gifts.

Socks and handkerchiefs are recommended as casual gifts, such as thank-you presents or small gifts.

If you want to give a thoughtful gift to express your gratitude, practical items like handkerchiefs and socks are a great choice. You can find a wide selection of these items in the underwear, socks, and nightwear section on the first basement floor Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building .

Kakei : "We have a wide variety of socks to choose from, including business socks that are always welcome, colorful casual socks that can be a focal point of an outfit, and room socks that are great for people whose feet tend to get cold. As for handkerchiefs, towel handkerchiefs with good absorbency are very popular as gifts. They are especially appreciated during this season when frequent hand washing is necessary."

During this time of year, many people buy gifts in bulk, so there may be a wait for gift wrapping. We recommend visiting with plenty of time to spare. You can also shop on other floors while you wait and pick up your gift when it's ready.

"Hand cream, lip balm, perfume" - perfect for any occasion, from small gifts to special treats.

Kakei : "Many people are concerned about dryness in the office, not just in winter, so they might appreciate receiving moisturizing items like lip balm as a gift. In terms of fragrances, unisex scents that couples can share are also popular. The fragrance zone on the 1st floor of the Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building offers a wide variety of brands, making it a place where you can find a scent that is comfortable for both yourself and the recipient."

Rings, necklaces, and cufflinks are recommended when you want to give a special gift.

Accessories are a popular gift choice for spouses and lovers. The jewelry section on the 1st floor Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building offers a wide variety of brands with diverse price ranges and styles.

Kakei : "We often receive inquiries from customers who say they've already given away all the standard leather goods and ties and are wondering what to give next, so we sometimes recommend accessories. Bracelets and necklaces, which don't come in with a specific size, are easy to give as gifts. We also have couples who come in and buy items to share."
