Stocking Stuffers/Gift Bag Goodies
So, I’ve realized that this Web site has become known to some people as one about Asian snacks. And I’m okay with that. Featuring all of those snacks has given me a list of things that I think would make great stocking stuffers/gift bag goodies.
The first item on the list will come as little surprise to many. (I got all of the following things at local Asian markets, but some are also available on Amazon.com. I’ll include a link to the original post, as well as an Amazon.com one if I was able to find the item on the site.)
Chocolate Pocky, Strawberry Pocky on Asian Aisle.
Chocolate Pocky on Amazon.com.
Strawberry Pocky on Amazon.com.
Almond Crush Pocky on Asian Aisle.

Milk Coffee Pocky on Asian Aisle.

Yan Yan Kids Strawberry Abracadabra on Asian Aisle.

(The box may be too big to fit comfortably inside a stocking, but the individual packs will do nicely.)
I haven’t yet showcased these particular Yan Yan items on Asian Aisle, but I think they’d make fun inclusions, too:
Yan Yan page on Amazon.com. (They work/taste just the like Yan Yan item above.)

(I’m showing the big bag here and it’s the size that’s available on Amazon.com, but Asian markets will often sell a much smaller-sized bag, too. If you get the big bag, you could always divide the pieces among little pouches.)
Flower’s Kiss Candy on Asian Aisle.

(You can give as little or many of the satchets as you want. How about pairing this Instant Coffee Mix with the Milk Coffee Pocky, Coffeebeat, or Mobaccho! Choco to give to a coffee lover?)
Instant Coffee Mix on Amazon.com. (I like this brand as well.)

Lacquer Chopsticks on Amazon.com.
Scenery Chopsticks Gift Set on Amazon.com.
Whew. (I plan to keep adding to this list as I continue with this site.)
The list is endless, esp when it comes to Japanese snacks. Their pack with small portions.
Though I visit your blog because you take such nice pictures and I like seeing things that I seen before. Asian snacks, asian aisle..:P
I put chili sauce on everything now, thanks to this site… It’s delicious — better than Tabasco, even.
Ms. K.: Yeah, it’s too easy with Japanese snacks! That list alone is indeed endless.
Ellen F.: I love how Sriracha brightens so many dishes in terms of color and that-extra-kick flavor.
i would love any of these in my stocking! i have a not-so-slight addiction to Pocky. i’m only saved by the fact that they are somewhat harder to find in my are.
Cher: There are worst things to be addicted to than Pocky, for sure.
That Milk Coffee Pocky sounds interesting. I’ve never seen that before.
