If you happen to 'accidentally' sign up for NHK subscription even though you don't watch the damn channel! Here's a tip!
- Call: 0120-151515
- and tell them you're moving to another country!
That's what I did! Simply 'coz I don't want to pay ¥13,990 yearly for something I don't watch and is a lot more expensive than my Amazon Prime which I watch ALL THE TIME and only costs me ¥3,900 a year! Aaand. I get a lot of benefits from Amazon Prime! Do I get benefits from NHK? NO! Do all Japanese people pay for NHK? Certainly NOT! Even though you're REQUIRED by a STUPID LAW to pay for something YOU DON'T EVEN WATCH! I refuse to throw away my husband's hard earned money for something we don't get used out of. I mean, sure if you watch it, why not pay for it? But yeah, we don't! So, I don't want to pay! You could ignore and not pay for it as there is no punishment if you don't pay but the bills would just build up under your name and they would not stop sending you bill after bill until you die.. not until you cancel your account. So yeah, cancel your account..
- Fill up this form they're going to send you.
Only answer the space they've encircled
- Pay for the last bill if you wish..
- send it back.
- and then bye!
Next time they come knocking on your door, remember to always look at the peephole first or the camera thingamajig 'coz you never know.. sometimes they don't tell you they're from NHK not until you open the door. They're sneaky like that! Especially if they know you've been avoiding them for a long time (Based on experience folks!). And if you already know it's them (You can tell 'coz they always carry a touchscreen remote thingy.) just IGNORE.
It's that time of the year again! And since I'm totally prepared for this year's holidays! I wanted to share some gift ideas that are budget friendly but your friends & family would truly love! Here we go!
MAKE UP
You could never go wrong with make up! Especially for your girlfriends! The most budget friendly make up I could think of that I believe your girlfriends would truly appreciate is Colourpop and BH Cosmetics.
(NOT SPONSORED!)
With Colourpop you could get 'em a whole set worth atleast $50.00
and it's got everything your sister or your bestfriend would want.
Or if they're a Hello Kitty lover you could get 'em the whole Hello Kitty
set or in my case just some of the Hello Kitty set for me! Lol.
If they like to glow, get 'em a glow kit trio!
Not the Anastasia glow kit that costs a lot but it still does the job!
Mine came in broken though, just don't get 'em the broken stuff! Hehe..
Or you could get 'em the matte, satin, metallic or gloss lippies
and just pop it inside a cute packaging!
You could also get 'em brushes from BH Cosmetics!
They're soft, sturdy aaand cute! It just doesn't look like something you would pay for $10-$15
PERFUMES
This is actually a gift for myself and I've always loved this scent and I totally recommend it! It costs a lot when you order it from the actual Juicy Couture site, yet they have 'em in Amazon and it's 100% legit and it only costed me ¥5,400 which is around $48.00. I do recommend getting perfumes in the actual store, I know in Japan that they usually have sales especially at this time of year. They just didn't have these in stores that's why I got 'em from Amazon.
BAGS, PURSES OR WALLETS
Another gift for myself but I also bought more in different colors and style for my bestfriends and family. This is from Guess and it's branded but I only bought if for $30 because it's on SALE! I got the first 3 Guess wallets I bought for my mom, mom-in-law and aunt from Laketown and then I got this and another 2 for my bestfriends at Shoplist. It's a shopping site here in Japan and it's 100% legit.
CLOTHES
For the kids I got 'em these cute branded tops from Shoplist again!
And they're all under $10 each! Around $8 to be exact~
HOME & KITCHEN STUFF
This is a great gift for a couple or a family. I'm actually gonna gift these to my cousin and his wife. It's a Thermos cup and y'know it's a good brand here in Japan and it doesn't melt your ice for hours and your cup of tea or coffee will stay hot for atleast 2 hours of leaving it. It's a good cup! And me and my husband love these!
Another thing you could gift to your mom or dad is some kitchen supplies or home stuff that they might actually need. It's not exactly budget friendly for you but if you think they'll use it in the long run or they might actually need it like for example, a new rice cooker because their old rice cooker broke. I mean, it might be expensive but they'll use it for a long time and it's a necessity 'coz rice is lyfe! So yeah, I think it may be a good thing to give.
GAMEZ 4 DA GAMERZ
Hey! The new FINAL FANTASY XV is out! That's the best gift you could get to your final fantasy fan bf/gf or hubby/wifey! But yeah, my husband is a Destiny gamer and he wanted to look professional playing his favorite game. Lol. So I got him this SCUF Controller for Christmas but he cannot wait until Christmas so he's using it already. And he absolutely loves it! I don't get men with their controllers like how he doesn't get me with my blogging and make up! Lol. But yeah, it's custom made~ we designed it ourselves! And it's not exactly budget friendly but if you love your gamer husband sooo much and if you think he's working so hard. I know he'll truly appreciate this! Here's the link (click me!) of where I bought and made it and yeah, go look for coupons before ordering!
That's it for my gift ideas!
I hope I've helped you and until my next post!
Bbye~!
*edit*
I also wanna add a selfie stick to the list! And this one you could connect via bluetooth and it lights up! I think this'll be a perfect gift to your girlfriend who likes to take selfies! Or for your friends or family who likes to take pictures of their travels! I bought this at Amazon for under $20!
