In America, I've only seen them at the store "5 Below".

Earlier this week, I decided to go downtown to see the most new and better Bookoff in Midtown. I've been here almost two years, but still love walking through Times Square every time there's really nothing like it. While I prefer Bookoff for books, manga and movies because it's so much cheaper, Kinokuniya has an impressive selection of all the little goodies from Japan that almost everyone could love. This, of course, includes a nice selection of small Japanese erasers....
The 83 students in fifth-grade classes sold and applied temporary tattoos, sold raffle tickets to win Japanese gums, and raised funds to donate to support relief efforts for the American Red Cross to help people affected by the earthquake and tsunami in the Pacific from Japan.
Teachers Christina Garley, Michelle Schultz, Courtney Benz / Stephanie Obermyer and guidance counselor Colleen Casper has worked with students to organize the fundraiser.
Before the fundraiser, the fifth-grade students made presentations to every school classroom in groups of five or six students to help others understand the need to support the efforts of the American Red Cross.
"In classes, we talked to other students about what the Red Cross and what they do as a volunteer organization. When you volunteer, not for money, people are doing to a difference in the world, "said Nick, a fifth grader." We want other people to have as many lives as we do - to have food, shelter and a place to come home. Collect Them All - Animals, Sea World & Fast Food Sets - $2.99 & Up.
