Ultimate Christmas Gifts 2020!

It's (Almost) Christmas!
You may have heard the rumours - Christmas is coming up soon! I know it certainly doesn't feel like it, given how strange this year has been. Christmas is definitely gonna be a bit different this year, that's for sure. Either way, you'll still be able to give gifts, and I think we could all use a good treat this winter!

If you're still unsure what gifts to get for your loved ones, or yourself - worry not; with the assistance of wisdom from cute gift expert Quentin the Sloth, we've created the Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide, taking a look at all of Tofu Cute's finest products from delicious snacks to adorable plushies and beyond!
For Someone With A Sweet Tooth
If you're looking to buy for someone with a sweet tooth, you're in luck - Tofu Cute has still got plenty of sweet treats available. A lot of our classic snacks are in high demand right now, so if there's anything you're partial to, you should probably get on it before we run out - we're working hard to restock old favourites as frequently as possible, though! Be sure to follow us on Instagram or Facebook to get the latest updates.

With that being said, right now I'll recommend MeltyKiss chocolate to just about anyone. If you haven't tried MeltyKiss yet, you're missing out - it's a delicious chocolate truffle treat, available in a variety of awesome flavours. You're sure to be able to find a flavour of MeltyKiss that appeals to whoever you're gifting for, and the flavours mix really well with the creamy and melty texture of the chocolate. It's an awe-inspiring snack that many are sure to love.
Of course, if you're buying for someone who loves sweets but maybe isn't as into chocolate, there's a range of other sweet treats available that don't go anywhere near cocoa. One such treat is the excellent selection of Sakeru Gummy, which as you may well know come in both 'Long Man' (long, peelable gummy strips) and 'Short Boy' (bags of smaller individual strips) varieties.

We've recently acquired the exciting new 'Yakult' flavour of Sakeru gummy in both forms, but if that sounds a bit too esoteric for the person you're gifting, you could get the grape, apple or cola flavours. All of the Sakeru products are sweet with an extremely chewy texture, and are likely to keep you satisfied for a while with how long (or plentiful) they are. Almost everyone in the Tofu Cute office is a big fan of Sakeru, so get involved! They're also Quentin approved.
For Someone Who Wants to Catch them all?
We know that amongst our amazing customers, there's many fans of Pokemon, so we should probably mention that we have a few Pokemon themed treats on our online shop, which in size and price would probably make an excellent 'stocking filler' - we recommend pairing a Pokemon Sticker Book and Gum Pack with a Pokemon Ocean Bomb Sparkling Water drink. That way, your gift recipient will get some tasty gum, some cool Pokemon stickers, a tasty drink and a cool collectable can all in one - a small burst of Pokemon inspired happiness that they're sure to love.

Of course, there are also some Pokemon gacha toys available in our brand new Catch-a-Gacha Pop Culture mix bag, so that's also an option, if you don't mind getting a few other unique items, like a Funassyi mascot vinyl figure. I know at first glance Funassyi may seem quite strange, but don't worry. Embrace Funassyi. They're a good banana.
For Someone Who Likes Surprises
Obviously, the best way to get a surprise from Tofu Cute is with our iconic Lucky Bags. These bags have an original unique design, and contain a mix of snacks, plushies, or both! We always have Lucky Bags available, so this is always an excellent option for someone who likes Tofu Cute stuff but doesn't know what they want.

But it isn't the only to deliver some cute surprises this Christmas - if you're looking for another set of surprises, you could always check out our gacha bags, which as I didn't mention in the previous section, are awesome pink bags that contain four or more authentic 'gachapon' capsule toys, delivered straight to your door. You never really know exactly what you're going to get with a gacha bag, but we can assure you it'll be fun!
For Someone Who Wants To Be Cosy
Maybe you're looking to get something particularly 'cosy' for someone to help them through these long winter months indoors. There are two recommendations from Tofu Cute's cornucopia of cute things that immediately (well, slowly) sprung to Quentin the Sloth's mind.

Firstly, Quentin would like to give a recommendation for these excellent Mameshiba Mochikko Doughnut Giant Plush, which are not only incredible 'doughnut' shaped plush versions of the shiba inu dog breed, but also make for exceptional cushions! Seriously; they're really soft and comfy to sit on! You may remember these from our viral sensation TikTok video, where they were used to demonstrate amazing feats of athleticism. You could totally get these for someone who wants to recreate this incredible moment in Tofu Cute history.

In our large range of new giant plush, a recent addition is these excellent AMUSE Mochikko Cool Sea Animals Giant Plush. Much like the Mameshiba Mochikko Doughnuts, these seal animals have an awesome texture to them - soft, stretchy and just astounding. They're an excellent gift for someone looking for something to 'cosy' up to.
For Someone Who Loves Cats
If the person you're buying a gift for doesn't fit into one of these incredibly-specific categories, then maybe they like cats? It's very possible. Lots of people like cats.

We've got lots of feline-inspired items at Tofu Cute, including our new range of Forest Nyanko plush. Beyond this, there's also these adorable Kawaii Cat Paw Furniture Socks, which are not only the perfect way to add some cute cat charm to your home, but also an excellent way of keeping the legs of chairs and tables undamaged. Your furniture will thank you for your kindness.
For Someone Who Wants Something Traditional
Earlier in the year, we released a special type of themed lucky bag called the 'traditional bag', which contained things like Konpeito, Mochi, and green tea flavoured items. The bad news is that this lucky bag isn't a thing anymore: the good news is that we still have a lot of the things that used to go in it!

The mochi and konpeito that we carry at Tofu Cute are both traditional Japanese treats that are well worth a try if you've never experienced them before, so perhaps you could gift one to a friend this Christmas? From the unique taste of Taro to the more familiar taste of Mango or Chocolate, we've got a mochi type for everyone.

Similarly, I think everyone can something out of Konpeito, which is a fairly aesthetically pleasing traditional Japanese candy. It's quite basic in taste, but I think a lot of the magic of Konpeito is how it looks and smells, with floral colours and sweet scents. You can totally use these to elegantly decorate a hand baked cake, or even as substitute pieces in a game of 'jacks'. People still play that game, right? (Look it up - you could totally play 'jacks', the traditional dexterity game, using konpeito).
For Someone Practical
Maybe none of the above categories really work for the person you're buying gifts for. Perhaps they're entirely straight laced and boring, and for some bizarre reason, only want products that serve a useful purpose. We've got just the thing(s) for them, as we've totally got some items that do things as well as being cute.

Take, for example, this Cotton Candy Bunny - at first it may appear like a simple plush, but if you turn it around you'll find that it is in fact a bag which can be used to store many useful items. Okay, maybe this isn't the perfect thing for 'someone practical' but we're sure someone's gonna love it.

Of course, we also have some other useful things in the form of stationery - pencils, pens, erasers and notebooks. There's lots of people who would appreciate stationery as a gift, and we have a reasonable range of cute additions to anyone's pencil case. Stationery can a great gift for those looking to 'get organised' in the new year, as well as those who love to write and draw. Did you know you can get a complete set of carrot themed stationery from our online shop? A carrot pen, a carrot notebook and carrot erasers - you know, for all the intelligent rabbits you're gonna be buying presents.
Give the Gift of Choice
Of course, if all these suggestions are meaningless to you, there's one suggestion that suits almost everyone: if the person you're buying for already likes Tofu Cute, you can easily get them a Tofu Cute Kawaii Lifestyle gift voucher, which can be used at Tofu Cute as well our sister site for J-fashion DreamyBows and our pals at ARTBOX, who sell a variety of cute Sanrio items. Gift Vouchers can be received physically or digital via email, in a variety of values!

Whatever you choose to get the special people in your life, the important thing is to think of them, and get something you know they'll love! Whether you get gifts from Tofu Cute or elsewhere, there's many small businesses that would appreciate your support right now after a testing year. Be sure to shop with your heart.

With all that said, thank you to everyone who has already bought their Christmas gift at Tofu Cute this year. We love you!
