Just as people in Japan have finally recovered from the horror that is Valentine’s Day, with chocolate given purely out of obligation and sweets with an added “personal” ingredient, here comes White Day to stress everyone out again. And as the custom goes, all men who received chocolate from a lady in February must give even more chocolate or other gifts come March 14th.
Luckily, Krispy Kreme Japan seems to be a fountain of White Day gift ideas, starting off with their handy guide to turning a doughnut into a beautiful piece of edible jewelry. The company has also unveiled a limited edition “White Day Box” that comes with two doughnuts. Krispy Kreme has even chosen the most popular flavors amongst women, so even if you don’t know the intended recipient, your gift will most likely be a hit…and come on, who doesn’t like sweet circles of fried dough?
In this year’s White Day Box, the soft pink and floral design of the Sakura Creme doughnut has been paired with the irresistible sweet crumble of Cookie Vanilla. Delicious and eye-catching, she’s sure to love every bite.
Place them in an adorable deep red box and you’ve got yourself the perfect White Day gift.
The White Day Box will only be on sale from March 4 until March 14 and comes with a message card and coffee voucher. At a price of 580 yen (US$5.68), it’s a small but sweet gift that’s more original than chocolates and easy to run out and buy if you completely forgot about the holiday…but we know you wouldn’t do that.
