Actually, this is... a gift I was happy to receive from a friend 🎁 a real story A gift that made me excited to see it twice✨

... Read more「シャネルのコットンって嬉しくない?」って検索する気持ち、すごく分かります。CHANELって聞くと一気にテンション上がるのに、いざ開けたら“コットン”だった時のあの拍子抜け感…(笑)。しかも相手が「CHANELあげたよ!」ってドヤっとしてくると、反応に困るんですよね。 私の結論は、コットン自体が悪いというより“ギフトとしての期待値”とのズレが原因。特に誕生日やお礼など、ちゃんとしたプレゼントの場面だと「消耗品だし、もう少し特別感ほしい…」ってなりがち。普段からデパコスを使ってる人ほど、コットンは自分の好みが決まってたり、肌に合う合わないもあるので余計に。 ただ、もらった側として気まずくならないために、私はこう受け取るようにしてます。 ・まずは“ブランド袋+リボン”の時点で褒める(気持ちが嬉しいを前面に) ・「旅行用にちょうどいい!」みたいに用途を言ってお礼を伝える ・肌が弱い場合は無理に使わず、ネイルオフや拭き取りなど別用途に回す 意外とコットンって、使い道を決めると便利です。ポイントメイク落とし、ネイルのリムーバー、アクセの軽い汚れ取り、香水を少し含ませてクローゼットに入れる…みたいに“消耗品だからこそ雑に使える”良さもありました。 とはいえ「嬉しいギフト」に寄せたいなら、同じCHANELでも“口紅サンプル+ハンドクリームのミニ”とか、相手の好みが分かるなら小物(ミラー等)の方が満足度は高い印象。お花が好きな人には、淡いピンクの胡蝶蘭みたいに見た目でときめくものも強いです。ギフトボックスやショッピングバッグの特別感って、開ける前から気持ちが上がりますし。 もし今、誰かにコットンをあげようとしているなら「メインは別にして、コットンは添える」がおすすめ。もらう側は“嬉しくない”というより、“メインじゃないなら嬉しい”に変わることが多いです。

A screenshot of an email message from 'Julie from Lemon8 Creator Partnership team' inviting the recipient to an exclusive creator program and incentive campaign. The email mentions an exclusive community for creators and an incentive program for money content creators, offering gift cards and merchandise. It asks the recipient to join a Discord community.
I got excited, but should I believe it?
I got this email and got excited at first, but when I saw the email handle I got skeptical. For those who did receive the email for the creator program, is this true or is it a scam please? #lemon8contest #letschat
