If you've never been to Muji - it is a must! Think of it like a cross between Japanese minimal aesthetics mixed with The Container Store and a dash of IKEA. Essentially a home goods store but they kind of do have a bit of everything - containers, diffusers, little packaged Japanese snacks, cleaning tools, clothes, pens and stationery.
