Christmas items

Hi,

We are travelling as two families to Tokyo in December before heading up to Niseko for christmas. As we are in Niseko for christmas we want to try and buy a few more christmas items in Tokyo to make our christmas a bit more christmasy in the house for the kids knowing that there are limitations to what's available.

We are visiting Daiso in Harajuku on our second day and I recall there being some christmas items there in 2010 but we were there in November. Is anybody able to recall what was available this past christmas just general themes not specifics e.g. are there decorations, wrapping, craft etc. We don't want to go out of our way looking just if there happens to be items at shops we would be passing in Harajuku and or Shibuya.

Thanks again.

Recently Daiso has been carrying loads of seasonal items, and really went all out on the christmas stuff this year. You should be able to get everything you need decorations wise, even small artificial trees.

Thanks yllwsmrf, a big relief to know that it shouldn't be an issue to find some things

Lots of places other than Daiso have Christmas stuff as well. I assume you want Daiso because it is the cheapest option, but for example Tokyu Hands in Shinjuku had some really beautiful wreaths and other decorations this year. Of course they're pricier, but its fun to look! Also check out Kinokuniya for Christmas books in English if that's something you'd want as well.
