Soft and fluffy babies, wriggling baby animals, tiny and adorable miniatures, and so on—when we see small and cute things, a smile comes to our face without even thinking about it. We want to pet them, and sometimes even feel the urge to playfully bite them.
Like this, people have a natural psychology of liking cute things. When we see something cute, the brain releases oxytocin and dopamine, hormones that make us feel love and a sense of bonding. It is said that this even works when we are angry or under stress.
With that in mind, this month, try giving the gift of cuteness to your family. Let the cuteness within you shine to the fullest and deliver happiness!
- Tip
- Look together at childhood photos of family members when they were cute.

- Open your eyes wide and make a cute expression.
- Use your hands to make cute gestures (e.g., flower pose, bunny ears, heart shapes, etc.).
- Give a gift with a cute character design.
- Draw a cute picture for them yourself.
