For a birthday present! Fun snacks. Popular snack wrappings (1–10)
Soda Pop Wrapping
Gifts are delightful whether you give them or receive them, but getting a present with impactful wrapping can make you so happy and excited that you can’t help but smile.
Here, we’ll introduce wrapping methods full of surprises.
Attach a spherical Styrofoam ball to the cap of a beverage PET bottle as the base.
Then stick in candies, ribbons, and other decorations, arranging them stylishly.
Wrapping that overflows with sweets and ribbons looks adorable and makes the recipient happy.
Give it a try!
candy balloon
I’ve heard that Osaka aunties even hand out candies to people they don’t know.
Giving and receiving candies has become a kind of communication tool, right? How about turning a birthday present into a little “candy balloon” with some simple decoration? Just put some sweets inside a clear balloon and write any message you like on the balloon—then it’s almost done.
If you wrap the candy balloon in a big sheet of cellophane to make a giant candy, it’ll probably get some laughs! Add a stick and it even becomes a “Chupa Chups”! I think it’s a present that moms and dads would love, too!
Snack storage box
How about a budget-friendly, easy-to-make “candy storage box” as a birthday present using items from the 100-yen shop? Use a three-drawer storage case you can buy at the 100-yen store as the base, and decorate it with stylish patterned wax paper and lace stickers.
Just fill each drawer with your favorite sweets and decorate with artificial flowers, rhinestones, and more—and you’re done! It’s so simple that even people who aren’t into DIY will find it easy.
The design is perfect for social media, so the recipient will definitely want to take photos!

Funny Dagashi Box
Before we even learned addition in elementary school, many of us picked it up at the candy shop, adding 10 and 20 yen, didn’t we? Just hearing “dagashi” (old-fashioned Japanese snacks) brings back childhood memories.
How about gathering a variety of dagashi to make a “fun dagashi box” as a gift? Try collecting a full set of nostalgic treats like Yocchan Squid, Bontan Ame, and Dondon-yaki.
I think it would also be a delightful surprise for older folks, perhaps even more than for the younger generation.
If you head a bit out of the city, you might still find old-style dagashi shops around.
The time spent hunting down the snacks is part of the fun, too.
Sweets Box Collection
When you receive a present, the contents are of course delightful, but why not add a creative touch to the packaging and make it fun, too? For birthdays and surprise gifts for friends, partners, and family, consider giving a candy box collection full of ideas.
You can decorate the box however you like—attach candies directly to the package, add messages or illustrations, or include a surprising mechanism that pops out when opened.
If you look around, you’ll find plenty of decoration styles for inspiration.
Create a one-of-a-kind candy box filled with love and see how surprised they’ll be.
candy umbrella
If you’re looking for a unique birthday present, we recommend a “candy umbrella.” You can make it with materials from a 100-yen shop, so it’s budget-friendly.
Stick your favorite lightweight bagged snacks onto a clear umbrella using double-sided tape, then decorate the ribs and edges with party tinsel.
Party tinsel comes in various colors and designs, so choose ones that match your friend’s vibe.
It makes a big impact and is guaranteed to look great on social media, so be sure to open the umbrella and snap some photos!
candy bouquet
Flowers make lovely gifts, but how about a bouquet made of sweets? Pick up the materials at a 100-yen shop and buy plenty of the treats you want to give.
Place a sponge (floral foam) inside a basket to hold the candy “flowers.” Make the flowers by attaching the sweets to bamboo skewers—these act as stems—using candy tape.
Once you’ve arranged the flowers evenly by sticking them into the sponge, decorate with wrapping paper, colorful ribbons, and artificial flowers to finish your candy bouquet.
It’s bright, cute, and delicious—and the recipient will be excited to discover what treats are inside.
Give a delightful candy bouquet a try!
