Review: Kawaii Box

I love happy mail! So subscription boxes always got me excited, but few actually made it to my part of the world. Until Kawaii Box showed up! They are definitely the cutest subscription service and they kindly sent me a box to review.

My expectations were pretty high, but I was still blown away when my very own Kawaii Box actually showed up! I can honestly say that there wasn't a single thing in there that isn't adorable. So lets have a closer look, shall we?

When I opened the box I saw exactly what you see in the picture above and I instantly knew it would all be great! The thank you-card was very sweet with its handwritten note, and the bunny post card was the first actual product I saw.

After that it was a huge splash of color -mostly pink, of course- that contained one cute thing after the other! This make-up bag/coin purse for instance. I love the design and the fact that it has two zippers. So cute, yet so practical as well!

I also got some candy-shaped hair ties and a sheet of pink pearl stickers that might actually make it onto my phone.

An adorable Rilakkuma raspberry macaroon squishy. It looks quite edible actually, made my mouth water a little…

So it's a good thing they sent some actual candy along too. Here is some grapefruit flavored Puccho!



This towel made me super excited! I love those little Japanese towels, but they are hard to find outside of Asia. This one is actually quite big too. And it even has a little name tag in the upper corner. A very clever touch, I think!



This cute cat below is a pencil sharpener. It actually has holes for both regular shaped pencils, and for bigger ones.

I find these lovely bunny stickers quite hilarious. Some of their positions and facial expressions are so funny!

The Hello Kitty pen is one of my favorite items in the whole box! The fineliner pen itself is really cute and writes wonderfully, but the main feature, of course, are the charms on the top. One Hello Kitty and one chocolate bar!

And last, but definitely not least (in fact, another one of my absolute favorites from this box!), is this amazing cat plushy. It's so soft and so cute, I just adore it! It also reminds me of my actual cat. I'll need to find a good place to hang this one!

That's it for products, however, there was also a coupon for 10% off at Blippo so I can get even more Kawaii stuff!

Final Verdict:

I'm a fan! It's a very affordable way of surprising yourself with a whole bunch of kawaii items, in fact, thanks to the low price I didn't even have to worry about paying any extra custom fees.
Anyway, the anticipation of receiving this made me excited already, and the actual box made my day! I really enjoyed the things they picked and would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes adorable Japanese stuff!

I should probably make this really exciting birthday wishlist post, but this year it seems I'm slow with everything. Anyway, I saw this little guy and he's pretty adorable. Do I need another stapler? No. Would I take him in? Yes!

Anyway, if you love this little bunny too, you can get one at Paperchase.

Have you seen these dolls at EEching's Handmade? They're so cute and quirky! And I love the details too. Aren't the ears gorgeous? Those cheeks so rosy? Or just look at the little pug purse this bunny doll carries around!

Most dolls have custom options as well. You can often choose the facial expression, the colors or sometimes even the type of fabric. So you'll end up with a really unique little creature.

Anyway, if you're looking for something different, I recommend you check out this wonderful shop.

The custom yarn bowls from MaidOfClay are simply jaw-dropping!  I love the 3D features and how you can pull the yarn through the mouth of the cat.

And you can choose the color of the fur and eyes so it resembles your own cat. This next one actually looks a lot like mine.

MaidOfClay also has a few adorable bunnies. This one is a little vase. The opening on top is heart shaped, isn't that cute?

And though most of the items in the shop are bowls and vases, you can also get this adorable bunny pendant. I love that it has a little flower.

Owl Things Considered

Have you seen these amazing brooches from owlknowhow? They are way outside my budget, but incredibly cute as well. I love those bunnies too!

They even make them as amazing 3D creatures.

And there are also some other items available. Like their beautiful book, limited edition packs, or this fantastic handkerchief!

Spotted

A last-minute "Spotted" before I leave for Singapore tomorrow. I thought I'd do one with an Easter theme.

I've always wanted to try making bread. Wouldn't it be cool if I actually pulled this off:

I love this adorable bunny girl!

One of those plushies you just never outgrow.

So lifelike! And so very cute! A lovely ring:)

Perhaps too creepy, but I love the UV ink Threadless used on this shirt.

I fear my collection of rings just isn't complete without one like this.

Japanese bunny patterns are my favorite! And I love the shape of this bag!

The moment I find a project for these, I'm ordering some!

Aren't surprise bowls one of the coolest inventions?
