The gift of Father's Day(CHICHINOHI NO OKURIMONO)

June 21th is Father's Day.
6GATSU 21NICHI HA CHICHI NO HI DESU.
According to my memory, Mother's Day on May and Father's Day on June can be celebrated in many parts of the world.
Did you give your father any gifts?
MINASAN HA NANIKA PUREZENTO SHIMASITAKA?

In Japan, almost all people give something to their parents in Father's Day and Mother's Day, so various reccomended items are ranged in department stores.
The popular gifts are flowers and sweets for mother, and clothes and alcohol for father.

I have given pare goods for them such as beer glasses, underwares, and hats of sakiko whose web site is linking with this blog.
And you can check these presents inside box at the top photo is sent on this year.

This is my favarite green tea in Shizuoka prefecture.
OKINIIRI NO SIZUOKA NO OCHADESU.
The powdered green tea is added.
MACCHA NO KONA GA MAZETE ARIMASU.
The balance of taste---the mixture of bitter and sweetness is great!
ZETSUMYOU!

This product is difficult to get otherwise you don't live in Shizuoka because it is produced by small local stores.
NAKANAKA TE NI HAIRI MASEN.
The rare green tea in Shizuoka is very pleased even in Japan.
TAIHEN YOROKOBARERU NO DESU.

In this year, I gave gifts for father and mother at the same time.
Green tea is just like a extra gift. Actually, the main gift is "pedmater."
OMAKE MITAI NA MONO DESU.
It is the small machine which counts how many steps did you take in a day when you wear it on your belt.
My father and Mother love walking, and they walk around the park everyday for their health.
MAINICHI KOUEN WO ARUITE IMASU.
So I thought it would be good to count the number of steps like games.
HOSUU WO HAKATTEMITE HA DOUKANA?

These days, pedmaters tend to be digital.
Moreover, what I gave can be counted in a bag or a pocket.

This is for my mother.
It has the same function with father's one, but I changed into this which has design of Hello Kitty not to mistake to father's one.

This pedmeter has a function that we can have a virtual experience of walking all areas in Japan by calculating how much length did you walked from the number of steps.
According to this pedmeter, the distance to do is about 18,850km.
18,850 KIRO TO NATTE IMASU.
How many years does it take even father and mother walk 2 to 3km per a day?
NANNEN KAKARU NO KANA?
Well...it is impossible to do until they live, isn't it?
I've make a mistake!
But it's OK...
I hope this will be a chance for them to think "we try until finishing walking in Japan!".
NIHON ISSHUU SURUMADE GANBARU ZO!

During tripping in Japan, the pedmeter introduces the showplaces and special products in that area. By this function, we can feel as if we actually visit this area.

Now, there are also other unique pedmeters.
I found the product,"Pocket Pikachu".
This pedmeter has an assumption that Pikachu, one of the famous character in Pokemon, is in the pedmeter, and the more you walks, the more behaviors Pikachu take.
IRONNA SHIGUSA WO MISERUYOU NI NARIMASU.
Besides, some cell phones for elders are popular bacause these have the function as pedmeter.

Then, I will go out to mail this gofts from now.
IMAKARA YUUBINN DE OKUTTE KIMASU.
I hope my parents will like it...
