I hope everyone had a happy Hello Kitty Valentine’s Day:] Did you receive any Hello Kitty Valentine’s Day card? How about Hello Kitty shaped chocolates or flowers? James and I celebrated our second Valentine, previously we promised each other we will only make hand-made presents for Christmas and buy each other gifts for Valentine’s Day. But procrastination has led us into making each other Valentine’s Day present instead, since we didn’t exchange presents this past Christmas <3
James and I exchanged our first hand-made presents in 2008, He made me the best hand-made Hello Kitty sweater I have ever seen <3 But because I can’t wear the sweater every day, I always mentioned that it awesome to have Hello Kitty on a backpack. Then, I can carry it around every where. My dream came true this year!
We decided to exchange backpacks, I made James a dolphin backpack because he loves marine animals with his favorite Sanrio character, Badtz Maru O:]
My Hello Kitty and Dear Daniel backpack:D
Dear Daniel even gave Hello Kitty a flower <3 Happy Valentine’s Day, Kitty! Love, Daniel!
Hello Kitty posing with her flower :]
Dear Daniel looking handsome, as always!
The backpack was stuff with Hello Kitty goodies: Hello Kitty phone charm in Korean Hanbok, Hello Kitty slippers, 2 x Hello Kitty plush, Hello Kitty candies and Hello Kitty arts and craft.
James’s dolphin backpack featuring Badtz Maru :D
Close up picture of the cute dolphins couple.
James love hats! So I decided to make a hat for the boy dolphin.
For the girl dolphin, she’s wearing a bow because I heart Hello Kitty and the bow represents Hello Kitty.
I stuffed James’s backpack with the most random items: Mickey Mouse plush, sea otter plush [They're hugging each other, how cute!], Aquarium of the Pacific patches, Badtz Maru with paper clips and CHOCOLATE <3
I think we can be models now..haha, okay maybe not. Can you see the balloon in the background? I found it for James, when I saw it I knew it would be perfect! Our favorite characters in one balloon, Hello Kitty riding on dolphin <3
HAPPY HELLO KITTY VALENTINE’S DAY! PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT AND SHARE WITH US, WHAT KIND OF HELLO KITTY GOODIES DID YOU RECEIVED THIS YEAR?!
I love love sweets and desserts <3 I had a sudden craving for Hello Kitty sweets yesterday while eating a Twinkie. I’ve made Hello Kitty waffles, brownies, cookies, Rice Krispies, cupcakes, cakes, JELL-O and more. But one thing I realized I never made are Hello Kitty doughnuts. Hello Kitty doughnuts are by far the cutest inventions ever!
While hunting for ideas on how to create the perfect Hello Kitty doughnut. I came across one of Strapy World’s newest Hello Kitty food phone charms, Hello Kitty doughnuts :D
The Hello Kitty doughnuts comes in three different flavors: chocolate [my all time favorite], vanilla and strawberry <3 These doughnuts look like they are real, mmm tasty ;]
Don’t be sad if you don’t know how to make a Hello Kitty styled doughnut because Hello Kitty is here to save the day with her unique doughnut maker <3 It comes with 4 x Hello Kitty doughnut cup and shaker.
Now we can all sit back and enjoy our Hello Kitty themed doughnuts and decorate them just the way we like it, doesn’t it sound fun and delicious?
I used to work in San Gabriel a couple years ago and I would always admired Takashima from the outside. The store was always so bright when I drove by and you can see tons of Hello Kitty products through the glass window.
I was so impressed by all the Hello Kitty products they carry. For those who never heard of this store, they specialize in imported Japanese products, mainly focusing on cosmetics, beauty supplies and Hello Kitty. In fact their entire second floor is dedicated to Hello Kitty :]
Takashima carries imported Hello Kitty straight from Japan, I haven’t found any flaws to the store yet, so I am assuming with my best abilities that everything is legit. They carry a wide range of rare Hello Kitty appliances from Hello Kitty digital cameras to Hello Kitty rice cooker.
Upon entering the store, you’ll be greeted with these Hello Kitty gem stickers for your phone, Hello Kitty calendars, mirrors and much more.
The bottom floor of the store mainly consist of cosmetics and beauty supplies so I headed upstairs, here are a few things I wamt to share :]
This is not your regular calculator, it’s actually 4x the size of a pocket calculator :D
I <3 the Hello Kitty alarm clock on the right,
Hello Kitty is encouraging us to save up. Spend less, save more!
Hello Kitty fleece blanket
Hello Kitty quilt blanket
Valentine’s Day is coming up <3 I would definitely recommend this Hello Kitty heart pillow for someone you like :] Perhaps a girl for those readers that are guys!
Hello Kitty breast cancer awareness plush and pillow.
I really like this pink Hello Kitty pouch and cell phone holder on the right.
Matching Hello Kitty soap dispensers, but you can probably put lotion or something else in there.
Takashima definitely has a wide range of Hello Kitty plushes and products, some of which I’ve never seen before. Since their items are mostly imported from Japan, most items may cost more than an average Hello Kitty item at the Sanrio store. Personally I think Takashima is more like a Hello Kitty sightseeing place, but hey maybe you will find something that is worth the price.
While I made my way back downstairs, I came across rows and rows of Hello Kitty boxes. The boxes look so cute I had to pick one out and see what it was.
Hello Kitty soap bubble jewelry box :P
When I opened the box, I saw the cutest Hello Kitty ever, a popped up Hello Kitty! Inside there was two bars of Hello Kitty body soap and a hand soap. This gift set definitely made my day. But sadly it was not for sale, I insisted on buying the gift set and tried to convince the employees to sell it:]
But I’ll let you decide what the outcome was… …
