Department stores start yearend sales campaigns

OSAKA —

Department stores on Tuesday kicked off their “oseibo” year-end gift-giving campaigns across the country, much earlier than previous years. Takashimaya in Osaka and Mitsukoshi in Tokyo’s Nihombashi were the first to kick off their campaigns, offering more than 50 gift items, including food delicacies. 

“Green gifts” that focus on food safety and environmental protection are being heavily promoted this year.  In previous years, the campaigns usually started around Nov 1.

    One thing nice about being divorced is that you do not have to this silly gift stuff ever again.

    Good luck squeezing blood from a turnip in this miserable economy, especially with all of this happy talk about raising the consumption tax rate and individual income taxes. Japanese department stores are getting "fugatz" from me.

    Green gifts or eco points do not inspire me to enter and buy something from the department store !
