My relatives love the muji geta sandals and the jinbeis.
Sushi refrigerator magnets.
I like giving bento boxes
If you come from a country with hot climate, those ice-type cooling wipes are a heavensend
Newspaper adds for stuff like cars, home centers and supermarkets
For something super casual/almost anyone might like, tabi or those onsen bath powders. For the right person, a Shogi set, taisho goto, different models of things, a puzzle with Japanese scenery, toys not sold overseas (Licca or Gundam stuff), vintage games
My parents’ cat really likes Daiso slippers.
Tenugui, oil-based makeup remover, Saran wrap
That MUST be a washlet cause it’s almost non existent outside of Japan. Plus you’ll look maxi cool with it around your neck at the airport.
A long time ago I used to get all my omiyage from Daiso because nobody back home knew what Daiso was. Now that there are Daisos all over California, I switched To Seria.
My dad really liked it when i brought him a cheap jinbei years and years ago. He wore it throughout the house like pajamas haha and my mom was super embarrassed when they had family over haha

Hand towels with Japanese designs are pretty nice. Some I use as towels and some that are especially pretty i drape them as decor
