Japanese gadget exporters have for years been a great source for unique gadget gifts. The makers of the famous Japanese notebook exporters Dynamism launched yesterday a new store called Gizmine.
We took this launch to feature our favorite Japanese and Asian shops that ship unique products from the east to the rest of the world. See our picks of Japanese shops below.
Gizmine:
Let's start with the new Gizmine store. Gizmine offers unique little Japanese gizmos like the Tomy Rocobo robot, the Poking box, Facebank, Hubman, Robotic chicken and many more.
Also part of the offering in Gizmine are Japanese watches, robots, and mobile phones.
