A Trip to Loft

It's hard to describe a store like Loft. Variety store would probably do it justice, but when we in the states here the term variety store, we usually think of some junk shop with crap that was made in China or Indonesia and costs usually less than 5 bucks.

Not the case with Loft. Loft is more of an "everything" store. I went shopping there today for wrapping accessories for my friend's birthday gift; they have a great selection of wrapping paper, boxes, bows, etc. Looking for something else? How about bags, furniture, decorations, Halloween costumes, clothes, jewelry, bicycles, housewares, hats? Whatever you might need they seem to have. People who have been to apartment and love the posters should note that I bought most of them at Loft.

The furniture and overall style are interesting because in many ways they seem to be a rip-off of Ikea. Perhaps this has some relevance since there are no Ikeas in Japan. Who knows?

Wisdom of the Day: Need something? Now you know where to go.
