Don’t Visit Them Empty Handed as We Have a Collection of Cool American Gifts for Japanese Friends

Before I proceed, I’ll to make sure you know that “素晴らしい” means “Awesome,” at least according to Google. Typically, when making visits, especially journeys that entail crossing seas, you are often expected to bring something with you; a little gift would do, no matter how small. 

Thanks to globalization, it is easy to come across items, especially food items, common to a specific locality in another locality; however, most of what is in locality B might not be as authentic as that in locality A. also, there are still things that are common in one part of the world over the other, and that’s what makes this gift guide ideal.

In this guide, I try to come up with a list of things familiar to America and not Japan; I have a definitive guide of American gifts for Japanese friends.

Unique American Gifts for Japanese Friends

1. Classic American candy

 

Classic and unique American candy is one highly sorted-out gift most people in Japan would fancy having.

There’s a lot of candy in Japan, but they’ll fancy some from America, which is unique to America.

2. Baseball Cap with Football Team

 

One of America’s biggest export to the world is our Football, the Super Bowl; if it’s a case that your receiver fancies the Super Bowl, even if it is for the halftime show, then a nice baseball cap featuring their favorite team would do. Even if they don’t have a team, you can pick a pretty iconic team for them, and don’t forget to share why you chose that team.

3. Starbucks Gift Card

 

As I stated in the intro, Globalization has made brands, products, and items available worldwide, and Starbucks is one of those brands that has broken into Japan. 

You can put a smile on your Japanese friends by getting them a Starbucks gift card. Let them add some style to their early Monday coffees.

9. American-themed Monopoly 

 

Monopoly is such a unique game; it holds a truckload of knowledge; it was created in America in 1903 or thereabout. 

A lovely gift for your Japanese friend would be a monopoly that is USA themed; I mean, the characters and drawings are primarily American buildings and notable locations.
