Fukubukuro plans?

I would love to hear about the places you plan to get fukubukuro from this year! I usually go for places like Kaldi Coffee Farm and Lupicia for tea and coffee to consume...but I'm always down to hear some suggestions!

    I will always try to get one of the donguri (Ghibli) store. i love there products and it is always a good deal. Is the Kaldo one good? Maybe I should get one too then...

    I wasn't planning on getting any... then I saw this: https://www.ikea.com/jp/en/campaigns/new-year-special.html?itm_campaign=fy20_new-year&itm_element=TopRibbon&itm_content=enPC IKEA is starting mystery online lucky bags this year, but in store they have 'hot dog bags' and 'sustainability bags.' I'm interested in the latter. Really not sure if I can brave the crowds on January 2nd, but they're only available in limited supply that day.

    Yea I only aim for the ones that I know what is inside, and restaurants seem to have the best ones for the buck. I might go for Starbucks, but since many people seem to recommend Kaldi, I should look into that too :)

    I’ve seen ones in Nojima for electronics. I was tempted to buy one

Entrance ceremony clothes

Soon my kid will have his entrance ceremony at school, and I'm looking for those typical Japanese style ceremony clothes for myself. I'm 1.80m, not so skinny woman, which has huge problems to even find normal clothes in Japan. Does anybody have the same problem and might have any advice, where to get those ceremony clothes in a taller size?

Places you recommend in your prefecture

Which places of scenic beauty, historic importance, and modernization do you recommend to visitors to your prefecture? I'm not asking for the "top 10" popularly promoted, but your reccos. Maybe places that visitors from abroad and foreign residents aren't aware of.

Making bread, no oven

Do you make bread without a full-fledged oven? How do you do it? What kinds of breada do you recommend to a noob baker without an oven? I have a cheapo toaster oven and a frying pan with a lid and would like to have a go at making yeast breads.
