Major Overhaul of Creema Gift Catalog Service

Japan's largest handmade marketplace, Creema, has announced a significant redesign of its gift catalog service, Creema GIFT CATALOG, set to debut on June 22, 2026. This revamp aims to enhance the user experience by refreshing the design of its special website and expanding the catalog's offerings. The service now features approximately 1.5 times more original items from popular creators and designers, catering to an array of gifting occasions.

A Unique Selection for Every Occasion

Creema is renowned for its vast array of original creations, with around 310,000 creators contributing over 21 million handmade items. This marketplace excels in providing one-of-a-kind gifts that can be tailored for special occasions, including weddings, births, anniversaries, and holidays like Mother's Day and Father's Day. The introduction of the enhanced gift catalog signifies Creema's commitment to bringing the giver's sentiment and the receiver's joy together into one cohesive experience.

In August of the previous year, Creema first released the gift catalog, designed to let gift-givers express their heartfelt wishes while allowing recipients to choose their preferred items. This latest update brings a refined aesthetic that showcases the beauty of handcrafted items, making the site more user-friendly than ever.

Expansive Gift Options

The newly updated catalog boasts a broad selection of over 900 carefully curated original items from talented artisans. This selection includes not only home decor and kitchenware but also lifestyle goods, food products, fashion items, and art. With these offerings, Creema ensures that recipients can find something tailored to their individual tastes and lifestyles.

Gift catalog features aim to satisfy diverse needs, with items available for customization in size and color, and options for custom orders. Creema further enhances the gift-giving experience by introducing free gift wrapping, along with a new option for Traditional Japanese gift wrapping, known as 'noshi.' These upgrades make it easier for users to select suitable gifts for formal occasions, such as weddings and births, or casual expressions of gratitude.

Customizable Options and Special Touches

The Creema GIFT CATALOG features three distinct course offerings priced at 4,400 yen, 7,480 yen, and 10,780 yen, including taxes and system charges. Two types of noshi, paper and tag styles, are available, with designs ranging from traditional butterfly knots to simple ties, offering customization including personal messages and names at no extra cost.

Each gift catalog card is compact and accessible, making it easy for users to choose based on the gifting scenario and budget. The curated selection from popular creators includes not only unique items but also those tailored to individual preferences, giving the satisfaction of finding a truly special gift.

Additionally, users can personalize their gifts with custom messages or cherished photos, providing an opportunity to include memorable elements that convey heartfelt sentiments.
