Top Ten Only In Japan Holiday Gifts 2013
10. I bet the person on your list who has everything doesn’t have a THOUSAND DOLLAR RICE COOKER!
It doesn’t slice, dice, or clean up the kitchen for you, but it does feature a cooking liner precision-milled from a single block of steel, for the ultimate in perfect heat distribution! Seen at: Yodabashi Camera, Akihabara
9. Surely you know someone whose garden wouldn’t be complete without a few GNOMES OF VICTORY

8. Give the gift of facial warmth and animal shenanigans with the BEARFACE MUFFLER
Seen at Ameyoko-cho Market, Ueno.

5. Every single girl on your list would be delighted to have a VIRTUAL BOYFRIEND to keep her warm at night and whisper sweet nothings in her ear!
