tasuki (a traditional Japanese sash used to tie back sleeves)
A classic party item: the sash.
You often see people on social media wearing sashes with funny messages in their party photos.
They’re flashy, eye-catching, and—best of all—make you feel like the star of the day.
Especially at large parties, having the guest of honor or birthday person wear one makes them stand out even from a distance, so they’re easy to spot—highly recommended.
There are many types to choose from, so pick a sash you like and put it to good use for a fun party!
sunglasses
Feel like a party animal the moment you put them on? These oversized, flashy sunglasses with “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” written on them used to be the kind of item you could only get at party goods sections in variety shops or through online shopping.
But if you can snag them at the 100-yen store, you might think, “Why not just buy them?” And at just 100 yen, they make you want to say, “Let’s have everyone wear them, not just the birthday star!” They may seem casual, but they’re a must-have when it comes to taking photos!
candles on a cake
When it comes to birthdays, a birthday cake is a must, isn’t it? Especially for a child’s birthday party, many people put extra effort into the cake—ordering or making the one their child requests, even if it takes time and care.
There are also many types of birthday candles to decorate the cake.
From colorful standard candles to number-shaped ones, and even candles with flames that change color—don’t underestimate the 100-yen shops; there are so many varieties you might have trouble choosing.

paper plates and paper cups
Not just for birthdays, there seem to be more and more cute varieties of paper plates and paper cups.
If you’re throwing a birthday party, you’ll want adorable, birthday-specific plates and cups, right? Especially if you’re hosting your child’s birthday party at home or inviting friends over for a house party, you’ll want to pay attention to the plates and cups, too.
Even at 100-yen shops, you can find a wide range—from chic designs to colorful, cute ones—and many with “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” logos as well.
cake stand
It feels like a waste to spend money on something you might only use once and then never again—but if it’s 100 yen, you think, “Maybe I’ll buy it.” That’s what’s great about 100-yen birthday goods.
Most households wouldn’t use a cake stand on a regular basis, but if it’s from the 100-yen shop and made of paper so you can just throw it away, that’s perfect, right? There are also ones that are just the right size for placing small cakes or snacks, like for afternoon tea.
They add dimension and look luxurious!
cake topper
Many people bake or make their own birthday cakes, right? If you’ve made a simple cake like cheesecake or chocolate cake for someone who doesn’t like whipped cream but the appearance feels a bit plain, why not try decorating it with a cake topper? It’s also a great option if you don’t plan to use candles.
There are lots to choose from—colorful and cute ones that kids will love, character-themed designs, and simple, chic styles perfect for adults!
paper fan
If you want to decorate the wall in a bold way—without using balloons or stickers—how about trying paper fans? They’re decorative items that can instantly make the space pop, like a big floral wreath.
Of course, combining them with balloons or stickers makes it super cute and guaranteed to look great in photos! You can DIY them using 100-yen shop decoration paper, but there are also paper fans you can simply unfold and hang.
