Awika! Windup Creature (It Sparks!) Crank up Awika! and let her rip--it'll climb over small piles of stuff. Don't let Awika! fall too far though or it might injure itself. It sparks as it walks (it's technically a toy but we think it's a great gift for the office Secret Santa type situation). It's really neat, like an art toy. Choose from four rubber bootie colors.

Big Blue Kitty Plush From Japan, of course. Most people would have stopped at the cute big-eyed head, but nooo... they had to add a tiny body. It's big--the head is almost 14" across. Soft, sort of velour/silky towel texture.

Button-Eye Dolls Homely Dolls from Japan These are kind of a cross between an ugly doll and a string doll--charmingly weird, with button eyes, elastic band mouth, grey plush belly, and string-tied arms and legs, with a few bits of yarn hair. All on a keychain +w/ a suction cup attached. They are each around 7" tall, and just plain funny in a cartoony monster way.

Cranky Windup Toy So you wind it up and it comes to life! Wiggles and wobbles like a dancing drunk sailor. At 5" tall, it's “antennae” also function as card holders (business cards, postcards, photos, etc). Wind up Cranky and it will nervously jump‘ about (as if it's had a couple of Red Bulls) til it falls down or runs out of steam. It comes with rubber booties so it won't hurt your tabletop (variety of colors, we'll choose for you). Comes in a clear box for gifting. While it's a toy item, it's also pretty sophisticated so would be a good somewhat generic gift item that has a fun personality. Also check out Cranky's cousin, Awika! (item 10048).

Monza Space Dolls from Japan Velour funny dolls (on keychains) are more Japanese (ie, kawaii) toys. Each is about 5-1/2" tall. We have four characters/colors: pink = Dina (who's had some collagen lip work done); golden yellow = Butte (who has big teeth and a horn); green = Monky (who looks more like a retro space alien to us); and blue = Gaga (not to be confused with Lady Gaga, maybe a distant relative).
Price: $7.00
Rainbow Afro Ken Plush Afro Ken was always one of our favorite Japanese toy characters. He's the dog who loves wigs. We can't 'splain it, he just makes us happy. Not as popular as he was a few years ago, we managed to snag a couple of rainbow wig ones--he stands around 9-1/2" tall, with his little smile and big hair.
Price: $32.00
Red Devil Plush Kitty Another of our Japanese plush toys.Over 9" tall with a little rattle in its pointy tail. So cute and yet likely to put a spell on you (get me some ice-u cream-u).
