Ito-Yokado and York Kick Off 2025 Year-End Gift Season with Unique Offerings
Ito-Yokado and York Introduce Their 2025 Year-End Gifts
As the year draws to a close, celebrations and gift-giving rituals become increasingly prominent in Japanese culture. Leading supermarket chain Ito-Yokado, headquartered in Shinagawa, Tokyo, has announced the commencement of its 2025 year-end gift service from October 1, 2025, across 198 stores, including Ito-Yokado and York, as well as through their online shopping portal.
In recent years, the tradition of giving end-of-year gifts, or "oseibo," has evolved from mere formalities to genuine expressions of gratitude and appreciation. In response to changing consumer preferences, Ito-Yokado is rolling out an extensive selection of unique gifts designed to cater to various tastes. This year, popular offerings from past seasons include their much-loved "Art Collection," a range of exquisite items suitable for both gifting and personal enjoyment, as well as early Valentine's Day treats, aptly titled "Pre-Valentine Vibes."
One of the highlights of Ito-Yokado's offerings is the original "Art Collection" which has gained significant traction since its inception in 2019. This year's collection features a collaboration with the Musée d'Orsay in France, showcasing designs inspired by famous Impressionist paintings by renowned artists such as Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. This representation of art on gifts is expected to delight art enthusiasts and gift-givers alike.
Building on the success of last year, the expanded "Digging Gifts" section has doubled its selection from nine to twenty items. This affordable and enjoyable range of products has been crafted not only for gifting but also for self-indulgence. Customers can now find a wider variety of choices to make their year-end celebrations a little more special.
In a novel approach, this year Ito-Yokado is introducing a new initiative focused on the peak demand for chocolate during December, traditionally the second-highest season for chocolate sales. This unique "Pre-Valentine Vibes" campaign features exclusive items from the famous Italian chocolate brand Caffarel and the Yamaguchi Prefecture-based fruit sweets brand Hoshi Fruits, among other distinguished selections. Customers are invited to enjoy popular Valentine's items ahead of time, perfect for festive gatherings or as little rewards for oneself.
Ito-Yokado aims to continue enriching the daily lives of customers in the community through its diverse product offerings, making celebrations more enjoyable, fruitful, and convenient.
