福袋 [fukubukuro]

Recently on METROPOLIS 's website I found an article talking about 福袋 [fukubukuro]. It's a term used to refer to the bags that shops sell during the New Year period, which are filled with mystery items you purchase for a set price.
Although the contents are usually more expensive than the price you pay for everything in the bag, there is no guarantee you will like what you get.
I didn't think much of it until I saw that THATJAPANESEGIRL from youtube, uploaded a video about it. So I thought it was something worth mentioning and sharing with you guys :)
Enjoy the video!



I wouldn't consider the "mystery bag" I purchased from PARIS' KIDS a 福袋 since it wasn't during the new year. Nevertheless, I did buy one as a present for a friend and I can't wait till we both find out what's inside! Will update with the contents of it next Monday after she opens it up :)

SIDENOTE: I will be posting on Mondays from now on. If I find I can do more, I'll add a Wednesday post as a bonus :) - Stay tuned for a HAUL post or video!
