Ok, I admit it; I watch NHK in the morning before leaving for work. The news has this short segment featuring 3 unique 'household' products. Some seem pretty useful, others lame.

But I've been doing some of my early Christmas shopping from this segment.. Thought I would share.

The site has all featured products back to 2006. (In Japanese)

Enjoy!

I watch it all the time and it runs the gauntlet between chindoku and things I feasably see using. The wide eyed naivette of the reporter is especially fun.
