The season I love has come around again.
The whole town is bustling, people walking by looking busy yet somehow happy,
and that feeling that makes you want to see someone.
That’s right... Christmas is almost here!!!
Hello everyone! It’s Chan-Mai!
I always want to keep that spirit of enjoying seasonal events alive!
So, we’re going to be celebrating Christmas here at Circles too! ^^
Circles Christmas Week!!
December 16th (Mon) – December 24th (Tue)
During this period, we’re holding an emergency event to help you enjoy Christmas at Circles!
Give a Yotsuba Cycle for a Christmas present!
Every year when this season arrives, we shout, "Give a Yotsuba Cycle for a kid's present!" (See the blog below for the reason why!)
For children getting their first bike ever.
For children getting a Yotsuba Cycle as their next partner.
We want these kids to ride safely and with peace of mind, and we want them to feel the excitement of moving forward using their own hands and feet!
With that in mind, customers who purchase a Yotsuba Cycle during the period [12/16 (Mon) - 12/24 (Tue)] will receive a Christmas gift from Circles♪
① Receive one free item of your choice to make riding even more fun!
We have plenty of colorful and cute items like bells and lights ready for you!
And! To help them ride safely,
② Get a 10% OFF coupon for kids' helmets!
While wearing a helmet is currently just a "duty to endeavor" in Japan, bicycle accidents are so frequent worldwide that it’s mandatory in some countries. To help prevent unexpected accidents and injuries, please make sure they wear a helmet.
③ A little extra♪
We’ve also had some fun with color by using something other than the standard black for the outer cables! We hope you find a combination you love!
Our mechanics are busy building Yotsuba Cycles every day in the shop! If you’re busy with chores or work and haven’t picked up a present yet... don’t worry, we have kids' bikes ready for immediate delivery during this period!
※ Although we are building many, please note that depending on in-store inventory, it may take some time to hand over.
※ If you would like custom work on a complete bike, it may take some time before it is ready.
If you want to know more about Yotsuba Cycles or need advice on customs or lead times, please feel free to reach out!
Thanks for waiting! In-Store & WEB SHOP Double Points Day!
Next, good news for those who want to give a gift to a significant other, family member, or even yourself!
During the period [12/16 (Mon) - 12/24 (Tue)], all purchases made in-store and through our web shop will earn double points!
Take this opportunity to get those things you’ve been wanting!
#5 Chan-Mai’s Break Room
Well, I think we’re all set to enjoy Christmas at Circles! Wait, what!? You still haven’t decided on a gift...?
Alright then, let me share my top 3 picks...
1: Yamatomichi Merino Knit Cap - Wouldn’t you love to see her in a knit cap?
The quintessential winter knit cap—I’m betting there isn’t anyone who wouldn’t look good in one. Beyond being cute and coming in many colors, the warmth provided by the 100% merino wool spec is outstanding. It’s one-size-fits-all, so no need to worry about sizing, and at ¥5,500, it’s an easy price point for a gift.
2: HIKER TRASH DAY DREAMER “HIKE TREK MID” - For someone who doesn’t spend money on socks
They offer an overwhelming level of comfort that you just don’t get with three-pairs-for-1,000-yen socks. The fabric is so plush, it feels like it’s wrapping your feet from the moment you put them on. I really want people to experience this... Treat someone who doesn’t usually spend on socks to this supreme comfort. Price: ¥4,950.
3: RELAX FIT EasyBag Made For Circles V2 - The kind of item you can never have enough of
The Circles color is a Christmas color. This large-capacity sacoche, which can carry anything from a few things to a lot, is also excellent as an eco-bag. I was just talking to a customer recently about how it can even fit records. It’s also great for adding a pop of color to this season, when clothing tones tend to be on the muted side. Price: ¥5,500.

When you’re choosing a gift, you probably think about things like this, right?
They’d probably like this,
Was this their favorite color?,
This looks like something they’d actually use...
I don’t think many people consciously think about imagining another person’s tastes or lifestyle unless they’re given a reason to. (Those who do are surely great at gift-giving!)
Christmas is a great opportunity, so please take some time to let your imagination run wild while thinking of the person you’re giving to. It’s actually quite fun, and it can be a great way to trigger memories and conversations with them.
If you’re still struggling, gift advisor Chan-Mai is here to listen, so please come by the shop! ^^
Let’s enjoy this seasonal event together!!
