What is a FUKUBUKURO? Traditionally in Japan at New Year businesses bundle up their products and sell them in a 'lucky bag' (the kanji 福袋 (fukubukuro) literally means happy bag). The 'happy' part comes in as you can't actually see what's in the bag before you buy. Fun right? Oh, and there are bargains to be had too, as long as you are buying from places you love. Is the Biku Fukubukuro like a traditional lucky bag? Yes...and also no. YES: There are a number of items at a discount bundle price presented in an actual bag! NO: Before you buy you know what products are included in the bag and the savings you'll make. There are no end-of-line, random items in the bags. Everything is from current stock or made especially for the bags. This year you can even request certain colours to be included in the bag. So, how do I grab one? Click the link here and you can see what's available. Make sure to request your colours before you buy though, otherwise you'll receive a random selection. Important info for UK customers. Biku will cease shipping to the UK in 2021 due to changes in VAT after Brexit. The final day for UK purchases is Monday December 28th 2020. I hope to find a work around in the future, but for the time being it will be closed at the end of 2020. When does the offer close? Monday 4th January 2021 at midnight. UK Fukubukuro will be shipped by 30th December, rest of the world and Japan shipping is on Tuesday 5th January 2021. You might also enjoy...
