Gifts
If you know the occasion, start there. Wrapping, noshi and a message card are set on the product page and can be changed in the cart, and no invoice goes in the box, so the recipient never sees the price.

Noshi
Noshi is the paper slip that traditionally accompanies a gift in Japan. Outer noshi goes over the wrapping, so the occasion is visible at a glance. Inner noshi goes under it, for a more understated gift, and is the usual choice for anything shipped.
- Noshi, outer or inner
- Gift box or furoshiki
- Message card
- Choose a delivery date and time slot (Japanese addresses)
