I don't have a Muji near me, but shop on their online store at least a couple of times a year. Some of their stuff is of average quality and not worth bothering with, but some is excellent. Some favourites: Their Hakuji porcelain[1] is beautiful, simple crockery that manages to be unassuming without being plain; the slight blueish cast that it has is just lovely. If I didn't have a perfectly good set of plates already, I'd buy a complete set. The Acrylic Storage range is a little pricey, but lovely, and better-made than the cheaper, no-brand stuff I occasionally see in shops locally. They used to sell passport-sized notebooks, but discontinued them some time ago. An email to their (excellent) customer service people when they first disappeared from the UK online store was met with assurances that they would be restocked, but sadly this hasn't happened and they've disappeared from the other online stores. I never followed up with customer service, but I think it's clear that they're now completely discontinued. Their nail-clippers are made in Japan, excellent, and ludicrously cheap.[2] The Sweet Home rates them as ["the best for trimming both fingernails and toenails". They make a great exfoliating cloth, just over a metre long, which does wonders for your back and skin in general. They also stock and sell a range of B5-sized notebooks, which are otherwise nearly impossible to find in the UK. The blandly named "B5 Double Ring Notebook"[4] is my favourite notebook ever, and a steal at £2.95 for 80 blank sheets. The range of B5 notebooks offered on their website has contracted in the last year or so, sadly, which is presumably due to poor sales.
