So yeah.

Any of those gifts like jewelry or things you give to someone that is alive so they will look pretty or have use for it?

Really, it may be difficult to imagine, but there are uses, customs and cultures outside of your own.

He is doing it "not on the day of the dead". Kou is in Japan btw and a Japanese with a Japanese culture.

Cause the writer of this novel is stupid. It is some kind of plot mechanic. It obviously has something to do with the later episodes that will either make Aoba insecure, make her cry or something along those lines. The writer can't think of anything better to accomplish that task other than this.
