Fukubukuro/Lucky Bag
What is “Fukubukuro”:
Fukubukuro, also known as Lucky Bag or Happy Bag, is sold as sealed bags for a set price at different shops in Japan around the New Year. You can get Lucky Bags of different categories including men’s, women’s and children’s clothing, food and snacks, stationery, electrical appliances and more!
- The contents of Lucky Bags typically exceed their purchase price. For example, a Lucky Bag may be priced at 5000 yen but contain items worth over 30,000 yen, making it more cost-effective than regular discounted purchases!
- Since the contents of Lucky Bags are unknown, you will experience surprise and excitement from the mysterious bags.
- Getting value-for-money goods in your purchases is believed to bring happiness and good fortune.
Important notes before buying a lucky bag:
- The content of the lucky bag will not be disclosed in advance (however some stores may disclose part of the items or let customers choose from product categories)
- You cannot choose the style and colour as it’s selected and shipped randomly – most of the times you’re only allowed to choose the size
- Lucky bags are usually sold in limited quantities in a first come first served basis, while stocks last
- Order cannot be cancelled after confirmed
- Lucky bags cannot be returned or exchanged even if the products don’t fit (Most of the clothings are free size)
When is it available for purchase:
Online lucky bags are mostly pre-ordered. Usually, December is when lucky bags are available for pre-order, while some brands may start as early as the end of October. After your order is confirmed, it will be shipped around the end of the year or early to mid-January. If you’re looking for a branded lucky bag, make sure you check the pre-order time to avoid disappointment!
