Anyone who has watched Studio Ghibli's My Neighbor Totoro might remember the scene where Totoro gives Satsuki and Mei a small package of nuts and seeds as a thank-you gift, after Satsuki lets him have her extra umbrella. It's an adorably Totoro way of showing gratitude, and one we can now try and mimic with whomever we want to show our appreciation.
But instead of handing them a seed package wrapped in bamboo leaves (because that'll just creep people out), we can send a hearty present of vegetables chips or mixed nuts wrapped in Totoro-themed mamegui (palm-sized traditional Japanese hand towels). Recipients who aren't too familiar with the film might not be able to make the connection, but at least they'll be going home with cute little hand towels adorned with patterns of iconic Ghibli characters.
The mamegui come in a total of 5 different designs:

The My Neighbor Totoro mamegui series will be on sale starting June at Donguri Kyowakoku stores and online. They can be purchased for 1,600 yen (US$14) each, and will make a heartfelt and unique gift for Ghibli fans and non-fans alike.
