So hopefully this will also give you some ideas if you're still looking for that perfect christmas gift for somebody, but let's get started.

So during the summer I was in Tokyo and I was killing some time before a meeting and I popped into this Macha green tea cafe and and they served me the Macha in the prettiest teacup I had ever seen.

So I asked them if I could purchase the teacups and they said they weren't for sale but then the lady made a phone call and asked the owner and they especially sold them to me which was super kind.

But now I am the proud owner of these beautiful Perri winkle Macha cups.

I love them so much.

I also picked up a match, a whisk and some Macha powder from my supermarket.

I've really gotten into making myself a cup of Macha every morning.

It's very healthy for you.

It's a good alternative to coffee if you still want that caffeine boost.

There is caffeine in Macha of course not as much as in coffee, but there is a little bit and it's really good for you.

So I think this cute little set would just be such a great gift for anybody that likes tea or likes Japan or just basically anybody, it's so much fun and it's so cute and it's just like the perfect little size for a christmas gift.

Next is my hair dryer.

I know you're probably thinking like what is so special about it.

But actually before I use this hair dryer I was using the most expensive hair dryer probably in existence, it was like $300 or something ridiculous.

It was gifted to me and I actually prefer this one.

It's made by Panasonic doesn't have a name but the item numbers E.

H dash any five A.

I got it on amazon.

The cool thing about this hair dryer is the temperature is very low but the wind strength is so strong that it dries your hair so quickly even with a really low temperature.

So it's very gentle on your hair, it doesn't damage it as much as regular hair dryers would and I find that it makes my hair really smooth and silky and shiny looking.

I've already purchased two to give to my friends for christmas this year.

I just think everybody who likes to blow dry their hair should have one of these.

Now.

If you follow my channel, you have noticed I promote glasses, usa dot com a lot.

They have been very supportive of my channel throughout the years and I love their glasses.

So I thought for this year's favorites video, I would do a roundup of my top five pairs that I find myself wearing all the time.

I've got a huge collection but I find myself going back to these same five pairs.

So if you're looking to get yourself some new frames.

Maybe these are some styles to check out their glasses are super affordable.

You can get a full set of frames and lenses for as low as $30 and you can get prescription in almost any of their frames, both glasses and sunglasses.

And there's like 6000 different styles to choose from.

So there's something for everybody.

And they have a cool tool on their website where you can try on the glasses before you purchase them.

The links to all the pairs that I showed you guys today will be down below in the description box.

Next is an eyeshadow palette.

Now, normally I don't stray from really natural looking shades.

I usually just wear brown or maybe gold.

That's like, that's as risky as I get.

But I was gifted this Huda beauty nude light palette by my friend Sunny, thank you sonny and I fell in love with it and I've just been using it every day.

The colors are a very great mix of neutrals as well as some kind of like bright, funky colors and also it's like half glitter half mat, which is really cool as well.

I'm actually wearing the purple at the moment which is not a color I would normally go for.

It's quite a subtle purple color and the glitter is very fine.

So I think it's great for daily wear.

Yeah, the combination of colors in here is just so fun and I think this would be a really nice present for anybody that's into makeup.

Next are these fake candles, so you can see one on my shelf back there, that's fake as well.

These two are from IKEa and you just pop some batteries in them and they've got fake flames inside that flicker like real candles, so they look so realistic and they're just great if you are either forgetful, like I am or if you have pets or Children and it's dangerous to have an open flame around.

I just think having fake candles throughout your house is just so easy and they give a really cozy feeling to any room where you can even have them on the bath.

I just by so many of them and put them everywhere.

I think they look great.

Next is something that made my life so much easier this year.

It's something very simple but very effective and that is paper to do list.

So this one is a full week and this one is just a to do list for the day.

I start off by planning my entire week so that I've got like an over review of my entire plans for the week on my desk.

I can kind of refer back to it and see what's coming up and then each day I'll write a more detailed to do list of things I have to do that day and I can check them off as I go as well and I just find it so nice to have everything down on paper and not like in the back of my mind worrying about it all the time, you know what I mean?

So if you've got a busy friend or family member, grab them some to do lists.

It's a great stocking stuffer as well.

Next is this um, amazing photography book by liam Wong.

If you are interested in photography or Japan, you probably are.

If you watch my videos, you've probably heard of liam.

Wong is a very famous photographer who specializes in Tokyo City nighttime photos and he is just so talented at both photography and editing this book is just so visually pleasing.

It's so nicely put together.

The colors are just gorgeous and I think this would just make a really amazing christmas present for virtually anybody.

I'll have the links to everything I'm mentioning today down below.

So you still got time you still in a christmas present for somebody.

Hopefully I'm giving you some good ideas if you know someone that's into sneakers.

I fell in love with these Nikes there.

The Nike Rise.

I saw them online when I was just randomly shopping and I thought they were so cool and I bought them and they just became my favorite shoe to wear because they're so freaking comfy.

So not only do they look really cool, they're super comfy.

So if you know someone who's into sneakers, this would be a great present for them.

Last but not least is the Oculus quest to if you are unfamiliar with this, it's a VR virtual reality gaming system and the cool thing about the quest to is it doesn't require anything else.

So you don't need a tv, you don't need a pc, you don't need like a playstation to attach it to.

It's just the console itself, that's all you need and you can play VR games and it's so much fun.

I am so addicted to Beat Saber.

It's a rhythm game where you've got light Sabers and you slash the blocks that are moving towards you in time with the music.

If you like rhythm games and you haven't tried beat Saber, you need to find somewhere to play it.

It's so much fun and it's really good exercise for your arms and just like in general, I played about 40 minutes a day and it really gets your heart going and the next day my arms are always so sore.

So it's been a lot of fun.

It's a good combination of fun and exercise and the system itself is quite affordable considering you don't need anything else to make it run.

There's tons of games that you can download online, but I've just been enjoying Beat Saber and that's literally all that I play.

If you have any recommendations for good Oculus games, let me know in the comments.

But yeah, if you're looking To splurge on a present for somebody or spend your Christmas money, maybe I highly recommend it.

It's so much fun.

The only thing that I was not 100% happy with is the head strap that it originally comes with is not very comfortable at all and I found that after playing like 20 minutes, I was starting to get really sore like face and head and I would have to take a break before I could play again.

I did some research and I actually found a replacement head strap that you can buy.

I got mine off Amazon.

Um I think it's a chinese company, the one that I got, but it is just night and day.

It's so comfortable.

I can play for an hour now easily without any discomfort.

So I'll link that down below as well.

I really recommend investing in that as well if you do get the Oculus and I think that's it.

I hope I gave you guys some good ideas for some christmas gifts.

Last minute christmas gifts if you're still in the market for some or some things that you can buy yourself and treat yourself with.

You can find the links to all the products I mentioned in this video down below in the description box as well as my favorite glasses.

So check that out if you're interested.

Thanks so much for watching guys and I'll see you again very soon for another video.
