It's continued to be so popular since debuting at an event at the end of last year that stock keeps selling out, dō's Signature Series Body Scrub & Bath Paste and Nail & Cuticle Oil are back in stock.
The scrub especially is something that makes me think it's amazing every single time I use it — I'm so satisfied with it that I end up tweeting about it almost obsessively each time.
This morning I took a bath with the "sha" scrub for the first time in a while, and beyond feeling how smooth and moisturized it left my skin, the deep, woodsy scent that left me feeling so refreshed made it a truly blissful moment.

It also made me realize just how wonderful it can be to soak slowly in the bath — I'm extremely satisfied!https://t.co/4VFpCF2UFg https://t.co/pZ6P5gMVLw pic.twitter.com/6HUUTpT16M
Sorry, I know I say this every time I take a bath with this scrub, but it really is just too good.

I already know it's great since I've used it so many times, but every time it makes me appreciate it all over again.
Tonight I used the "ho" type, which has ingredients like ginger and dong quai in it, and soaking in the bath warmed me right to the core! The scent is great too!https://t.co/6Nd9TyOZ43 https://t.co/pZ6P5gMVLw
If you already use this scrub yourself, I'm sure you'll agree — it also makes a wonderful little gift.
- Soaking in the bath with the scrub still on lets you use it as a bath additive too
- A price point that's just right — not too cheap, not too expensive
- It's a consumable, so it's rarely something people are troubled to receive
- The packaging is lovely too
- Comes with dedicated gift wrapping
Perhaps because it checks every box for a perfect gift, in fact about half or more of all orders for dō — not just the scrub, but the nail oil too — are gift orders.
And we're very grateful that repeat gift orders have been increasing too — when I imagine that people order again because the recipients were genuinely pleased, it makes me really happy as well.
With that in mind, since it's March and White Day season, when many of you may be looking for gifts, I'd like to share some real examples of dō's gift wrapping.
dō's dedicated gift wrapping uses a furoshiki, the traditional Japanese wrapping cloth used since the Nara period.
This beautiful, functional wrapping honors a long-standing part of Japanese culture and helps highlight the world the brand creates.
This dedicated gift wrapping comes in two sizes, small and large.
Each time an order comes in, we choose the appropriate size and wrap it ourselves, but we know some of you may want to see what the wrapping looks like before ordering, so please use the examples below as a reference.
Small Wrapping Example 1: For One Body Scrub & Bath Paste
The most common pattern when ordering gift wrapping is for a single Body Scrub & Bath Paste.
It fits neatly into the small-sized wrapping.
Small Wrapping Example 2: For One Nail & Cuticle Oil
Next after the body scrub, the most common pattern is wrapping a single Nail & Cuticle Oil.
This one is also wrapped in the small size, and since the item itself is small, it comes together in an adorable, palm-sized bundle.
Small Wrapping Example 3: For One Body Scrub & Bath Paste and One Nail & Cuticle Oil
Since the body scrub and nail oil each come in the "ho" and "sha" scents, some people also give a scrub-and-oil set as a gift, either as a "ho" set or a "sha" set.
Even in that case, everything fits perfectly in the small size, so we wrap it in the small size.
Small Wrapping Example 4: For Two Nail & Cuticle Oils
For a nail oil set combining the two scents as well, we use the small-sized wrapping.
It's a set that lets you choose which scent to apply depending on your mood.
Large Wrapping Example 1: For Two Body Scrub & Bath Pastes
Once you have a set of two or more body scrubs, we use the large-sized gift wrapping.
With its crisp scent of ginger and geranium, the "ho" scrub and the "sha" scrub, which lets you fully take in the scent of a coniferous forest, are both so elegant that they turn bath time into the ultimate relaxing experience.
With a two-scent set, you can switch scents depending on your mood and fully enjoy bath time — I confidently recommend it as a truly luxurious, delightful gift for adults.
Large Wrapping Example 2: For Two Body Scrub & Bath Pastes and Two Nail & Cuticle Oils
This is the complete set of the dō Signature Series.
When giving two of each — nail oil and scrub — we also use the large wrapping.
For someone who really values body care, why not consider a set like this?
And that covers real examples of the wrapping, organized by order type.
Of course, dō's perfume series, dō the perfume, can also be gift-wrapped when ordered as a gift, and in that case the size will be roughly the same as a single body scrub, so please use the body scrub wrapping shown in the photos above as a reference.
Choosing a gift while thinking of the person you're giving it to, and imagining how happy they'll be to receive it — it really makes me feel all over again how wonderful gift-giving is.
From White Day in March to birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, and more, I think these make wonderful gifts any time of year, so if you're looking for a gift, we hope you'll consider dō's items.
We also introduce the items in more detail in a video, so please have a look at that as well if you'd like.
