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

Is there a limit on daily posts?

Does anyone know if there is a limit on the number of posts we can publish each day? The reason I ask is, yesterday I wrote more than 30 posts, but I realized last night that at least the last two I wrote, have disappeared. They definitely published, but then disappeared a few minutes later. One was about a Santa in Nagoya, the other about Santa in Tamadairanomori. There maybe more but those two are definitely missing.

Where do you visit Santa Claus?

Firstly, do you visit Santa Claus each year in Japan? And if so, where? I've been posting places you can meet Santa Claus in various parts of Japan on the blog section. If you are looking for somewhere to meet him this year, you'll find at least 25 places on City-cost.

Recommendations for a large capacity power bank

I am in the market for a new power bank, preferably one with a large capacity and features such as a built in LED light and multiple outputs for charging devices. Have you any recommendations for a good power bank?
