Items from Japan?

I am purchasing a Thing from Japan for [personal profile] myrialux as either a late anniversary present or an early birthday present, whichever occasion is closer when it gets here. I am using a purchasing/shipping service to get it for me. They will also bundle items together and ship them at once, so I figured I'd ask y'all if you had any nifty items purchasable only in Japan that you recommend.

I don't particularly care about anime/manga character goods now, and as I don't know how long it will be sitting at the company and then in transit, nothing perishable.

Fingernail clippers? I love the ones I bought a few years ago on trip in Japan because they're super sharp and collect the clippings. I haven't found similar in the states (though I haven't looked hard).

A++ I second this--I bought what I thought were super cheap fingernail clippers at a convenience? store in Japan the one time I visited because I had forgotten to bring one. IT WAS THE BEST FINGERNAIL CLIPPER I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED and I'm sorry that the flood took mine. I keep wondering if it's worth ordering another despite the shipping costs. XD

Oh man...I'm so tempted. I don't even know what to search for in the realm of filthy art books though!

suggestions gratefully accepted

I hadn't realized how much I want to aimlessly wander through Tokyu Hands.
