Our lives can get rather overwhelming at times, which is why we are always advised to get a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on whenever we are knee-deep in stress to let it all out lest we suffer from a breakdown. The Japanese have come up with a small fairy toy known as the Unazukin that have ears made from plastic and yet are more than ready to listen to your woes compared to your best friend. The Unazukin toy is capable of doing just three things - sitting pretty as a desktop toy, nodding its head, and shaking it sideways. Asking her a question will result in either a nod or a shake, making her a more reliable barometer of answers compared to plucking petals from a flower when it comes to matters of the heart. The Unazukin is available for $8.95 a pop.
