    having trouble coming up with gift ideas? does your list include people who a) love japanese culture and 2) are weird? do i have some ideas for you… clicky-clicky. (SFW assuming people who sit around you aren\’t offended by plush dolls in the shape of poo.) if you\’re looking for gifts for me, i\’m really…
