Flower glass dome
This glass dome with flowers looks far more expensive than you’d think for 100-yen materials.
Since it uses artificial flowers, they won’t wilt, so it makes a perfect long-lasting gift.
Trim the artificial flowers to fit the size of the jar.
Make a hole in the center of the cork base of the glass dome; you can easily make it with an awl or any pointed tool.
Apply glue, insert the flowers, and adding a ribbon makes it cute.
Attach a photo near the flowers, write a simple message on the glass, and you’re done.
It’s very easy to make, so give it a try!
Small bouquet
A stylish gift that blends beautifully with your interior.
Place a photo or portrait in a perfume-shaped container you can buy at a 100-yen shop.
Spread clay over the top, then poke in small, round pieces of tissue paper one by one.
Use a pointed chopstick or similar tool and press gently so you don’t tear the paper.
If you spritz on perfume or aroma spray, you can enjoy a pleasant scent as well.
It’s a lovely gift that looks like it’s packed with a tiny bouquet—an idea that’ll bring a smile every time you glance at the photo full of memories.
Handmade coaster
@narumama_asobi Too cute using only 100-yen shop items 😍 The kids were super focused and did it so well 🫶🏻 It’d make a great gift too ✨#AtHomePlay#StayHomeTimeRespect for the Aged DayHandmade CoasterSeriaDaiso

Perfect for mealtimes and snack breaks! How about a handmade coaster? You can make it with stone paper clay and mosaic tiles from the 100-yen shop, so it’s easy even for little kids.
Once you spread the clay over the coaster, start arranging the tiles.
Be sure to press the tiles in and level them so the glass you place on top won’t tip over.
The key is simply to make it flat, which is why it’s so easy and casual to create—one of the best parts! Picture the recipient’s smiling face and enjoy crafting with your child!
Handmade ballpoint pen
This handmade ballpoint pen, filled with flowers, warms your heart every time you see it.
You can make it easily with just a ballpoint pen from a 100-yen shop that lets you swap the contents and some small pressed flowers—so the simplicity is a delight.
Once you cut your favorite flowers into small pieces, gently pack them into the pen’s transparent barrel.
That’s all it takes to complete your original pen! It’s quick and easy to make, yet stylish and cute.
It’s a wonderful gift that can casually bring color and smiles to everyday life.
Glasses stand with photo frame
A handmade gift you’ll want to give to seniors who wear glasses daily: a glasses stand.
You can display a photo in the photo frame section, so it’s nice to be able to look at a cherished memory anytime.
Tilt the V-shaped photo frame and attach the wavy parts with glue.
It’s also a good idea to add them where the glasses rest to act as stoppers.
Decorating with alphabet stickers and the like makes it lovely.
Insert a message card and a memorable photo, and present it to someone special.
balloon bouquet
A balloon bouquet that never withers and needs no care is a perfect gift for seniors.
Apply strong double-sided tape to 10 cm and 20 cm tulle ribbons, then roll them up to create cute flowers.
Insert the flowers through the opening of the special clear balloon.
If the opening is small and hard to use, make a small slit with scissors and open it up.
Inflate the balloon, add wrapping, tie a ribbon, and it’s done.
Give it a try!
Handprint and footprint keychain
Keychains featuring tiny handprints and footprints are a soothing, highly recommended gift for seniors.
They’re a lovely way to enjoy watching your grandchildren or great-grandchildren grow.
Gather shrink plastic, acrylic paint, and a keychain, and let’s get started! Paint the soles or palms and press them onto the shrink plastic to capture the print.
The key is to punch a hole before heating.
Place it on parchment paper and bake in a toaster oven; while it’s still hot, press it flat from above—and it’s done.
A keychain that brings a smile every time it reminds them of their grandchild—why not give this heartfelt gift to someone special?
