Kazamidori's Random Tech Fukubukuro
This year, for the first year, I bought an online fukubukuro from a retailer on Rakuten that I didn't really know and that didn't have a guide to what specifically would be in the lucky bag.

This shop with the adorable chicken mascot offered a selection of electronic items worth up to 6000 yen for the low low price of 2023 yen.

As mentioned before, instead of displaying exact sample items for all the goods that would be included, this one offered only a sample of the ideas of what might be inside, including USB storage drives, small electronic fans, and air humidifiers.

The most exciting thing for my kid was this Pink Kraken Fan. It charges by usb and I got another good USB-C cable. The fan has several speeds and the three tentacles/legs allow it to grip onto several kinds of surfaces.

Another interesting item that I would never have picked up but I'm kind of happy to have is a rainbow light humidifier. After charging for more than an hour, this thing can be used easily. While I had to use Google Translate to understand the instructions, I also did eventually figure it out. It hinges, revealing the light to make it a pretty neat little accent lamp. The light has three modes, including quickly transitioning through the rainbow, slowly transitioning, and staying solid on one color.

The first night I tried to use it, I was wondering if i was just not seeing the humid air rising from it. After I charged it again, the thing emitted a nice stream of steam. As it turns out, the steam button also has a couple of functions, including straight steam, blips of steam, and off.

I did have some issues with getting into stay on, but overall, it was a fun addition to my home.

The other contents if the small box included a USB light, which may be great in situations where you have a fully charged mobile battery, but no flashlight.

Another emergency item was included in the form of a an emergency battery charger with three new rechargeable batteries inside. I was more excited about the batteries than the charger in this case.
Other than that, there was also a set of colorful cord arranging items to help clear up cord organization related messes and a 64 GB thumb drive, which is something I needed anyway.
While I didn't research each item to double check the total value, I'm happy with the items I received. I don't know if I'll order it again next year as our needs for random tech have been met, but I'll keep this shop in mind when I do want random tech.
