Recently, I frequently find myself gifting Japan-related things! For example, my daughter took a bag full of Japanese candy for a birthday party. For Christmas, my older kids are getting a Yokai Watch DVD set and my toddler is getting a Mel-chan doll. It is a good way to be unique! Here are some gift ideas for the Japan-lovers in your life:
Melissa and Doug Sushi Slicing Set (a fun alternative to “traditional” food!)
Kendama Toy (great for all ages!)
Vive Le Color! Japan Coloring Book for Adults
Yakusen Bath Roman Bath Salts (Japanese bath salts are sooo relaxing)
Making Tape Gift Box (the mt brand from Japan is simply the best. I use it for everything!)
Mitsubishi 100 Colors Colored Pencil Box (my kids have this set and it is awesome. Every color you could ever want, durable, and the color glides onto paper so smoothly)
Nintendo Hanafuda Card Game (great for older kids, teens and adults)
Yokai Watch Karuta (for your Yokai Watch fanatic)
Kracie Pop N Cookin Candies (oh so-unhealthy but so fun to make and eat)
Uncle Goose Hiragana Wood Blocks
Go to my online Amazon store to see more ideas!!

Thanks for these ideas Hiragana Mama, I especially love that you included the popular anime/game Youkai Watch! I will most likely purchase the Japan Coloring book.
