Good luck charm

In Japan, fukubukuro packs - mystery goodie bags filled with items that are worth several times the bag's retail price - are a common sight in department stores.

Casio is bringing that concept to all its G-Factory stores, with fukubukuro lucky bags valued from S$353 to S$655. Each contains items such as a G-Shock GA-710 watch, a printed G-Shock t-shirt, camouflage canvas tote bag, a G-Shock tumbler, and even a Casio FR10 camera.

The good news: each bag retails for just S$188 as part of Casio's National Day celebrations.
