New Year's shopping discounts are in the bag

Fukubukuro returns to Ala Moana Center to celebrate the new year. The Japanese tradition allows retailers to reward their customers. From 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday, several merchants will offer the "happy grab bags" featuring a surprise product or variety of merchandise with a retail value at least twice the price paid for each bag, although shoppers won't know what's in the bag until they purchase it.

A limited number of bags will be for sale at Animation Magic, Artlines, Baccarat, Bally, Betsey Johnson, Burberry, Celine, Claire's, Crabtree & Evelyn, Diesel, Fendi, Folli Follie, Hawaiian Quilt Collection, LeSportsac, Locals Only, Lupicia, Max & Co., Origins, Pacific Harley-Davidson, Prada, Prada Donna, Salvatore Ferragamo, Sandal Tree, Sephora, Shanghai Tang, The Compleat Kitchen and Thinker Toys.

Bag prices vary at each retailer. Call the Customer Service Center at 955-9517.
