Q. How should gifts be wrapped?

Answer:

At department stores and small shops, gift wrapping service is provided, sometimes free and other times for a small fee. The American wrappings do not have an equivalent to noshi and mizuhiki, so you can choose from a variety of wrapping paper and ribbons. The more elegant the present, the finer the wrapping should be, but be sure to attach an appropriate card, available at any greeting card shop.
