INTERVIEW|YATARO MATSUURA
Anniversaries are irrelevant. I always search with gratitude.I rarely go out specifically to find gifts. As I go about my daily life, I might suddenly see something in a shop and think, 'This person would like this,' or 'This would make them happy.' Then I buy it as a gift. I never search for a present because someone's birthday is a week away. I give gifts to people I cherish and appreciate, whenever I find something suitable. It could be a small trinket, flowers, chocolates, or any small gift that won't burden the recipient. In spirit, I'm giving gifts to someone every day of the year.

INTERVIEW|YATARO MATSUURA
One step further: consider the recipient's preferences.Give a set as a gift.
My own encounter with Margaret Howell began when my then-girlfriend gave me a shirt as a gift. People have their preferences, but a shirt is something most people are happy to receive. If I were to give a gift, I'd pair a gingham check shirt with a John Smedley cardigan. Both are simple and can be worn year-round, and a set feels more thoughtful than just giving a single item. Even for those who are accustomed to giving gifts, I believe it's important to put extra thought into the presentation, perhaps by offering a curated set.
