Years back, I spent quite some money to buy Hello Kitty stuff in Japan. I also liked to visit Ueno 上野 to buy some market / household stuff. Before I set off for Tokyo, my husband had warned me not to spend money on useless stuff. I bare this in mind.
This time, I tried to look for reasonably-priced good-quality stuff. I bought the followings:
1. Burberry towels and handkerchief (can also be used as a small cotton scarf)
2. Ultra-light umbrellas
3. Porter bag for my husband (ace-company.net/~coolcat)
4. Samantha Vega bag for myself (www.samantha.co.jp)
5. Majolica Majorca cosmetics (www.shiseido.co.jp/mj/index.htm)
6. Anna Sui bracelet (+ phone strap as a gift)
7. Some clothes from Suzuya Japan
8. Hello Kitty x Anna Sui towel + Charmmy Kitty stickers
Originally, I planned to buy Burberry Blue Label bag / Agnis B bag. However, the prices were not as cheap as what people told me. Also, for Uniqlo clothes, there were only a few good choices but they were not cheap. I used to think that Japan department stores have summer sale from July to August. However, when I was in Tokyo near end of August, not many shops were offering discounts. The Sanrio shop at Ikebukuro used to have very lovely Hello Kitty stuff. But this time, the goods were just so-so. In the past, I mainly took JR Yamanote line 山手線. This time, as my hotel is close to Metro station, so I tried hard to take Metro as much as possible. This is really new experience for me.
