Unazukin – Happy Little Helpers
The latest novelty gift craze to come from Japan is a little over 5cm high with a cute smiley face and a close resemblance to a Russian doll. The difference is that these colourful collectables are special friends who can help you make decisions. Better than an agony aunt or helpline, Unazukin listens to your problems and nod or shake their head in reaction to your voice.
Life is simple with Unazukin. Any problem can be solved with one nod for yes, two nods for a definite yes, one head shake for no and a double head shake for a definite no. Anyone can partake in the fun, and with that knowing smile continuously beaming, new owners may find themselves spending endless hours sharing their thoughts with these dinky decision makers.
One of the reasons for their steady rise in popularity is due to the fact that they are randomly packed. You never know which Unazukin is going to ‘choose’ you, and with names like Bird doll, Dandelion, Sakura, Shine doll and Poppy, collecting them is all part of the fun.
Now that this friendly phenomenon has gripped the nation, Unazukin aren’t sitting under their big mushroom in the park anymore. One of their usual places of residence these days is on office desktops. Questions such as ‘Should I go home early?’, ‘Is my boss watching me talk to a piece of plastic?’ and ‘Did someone steal my stapler?’ are serious matters to these wise and knowledgeable dolls.
So if you’re looking to buy an inexpensive birthday gift which will get everyone talking, Unazukin could be the answer. At a cost of around £4 a doll, they are popping up in all sorts of unusual locations such as in gardens, on car bonnets, and even on ‘youtube’. Modern living causes plenty of stress and problems which is compounded by difficult decisions. If you’re willing to buy into the cult of Unazukin, the hardest decision you’ll have to make is where to buy this impossibly sweet life management tool.
