For some reason, my first stop was actually Hot Topic instead of Sanrio. I bet you want to know why, I saw this very attracting sign,

“TODAY ONLY! Buy a special edition $9.50 hello Kitty tee and get a FREE Lady Gaga Poster!”

Hello Kitty x Lady Gaga T-Shirt

Hello Kitty x Sanrio 50th Anniversary Design Your Own Gift Card

Hello Kitty T-Shirts and Accessories at Hot Topic

This is one of my favorite ones <33

After being in Hot Topic for a good 5-10 minutes…I rushed to Sanrio, there wasn’t a big crowd yet. But I had already found myself being very indecisive as usual. I was making my way around the store until I saw something very unusual, I feel in love <3 I have an obsession with Hello Kitty appliances and guess what I saw?

Hello Kitty Hair Irons! I have done a lot of research and obviously Japan already sells Hello Kitty hair iron, but I never knew they sold them in the states.

I haven’t gotten a chance to play with it yet, but I will definitely let you guys know how good the product works! For those of you who are interested in buying it, you can also buy them at Sanrio.com or visit one of your local Sanrio Boutique Stores <3 Good Luck!

I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving this year! Black Friday is just a few hours away or for those who are reading it now…it may already shopping time.

The front of the store. As you can see everything is pretty much wiped out already, but here are just a few pictures of the items they have left, enjoy!

I couldn’t resist, so I picked up a few Hello Kitty items:] Don’t you just love it when there are sales!?

We haven’t even reach the salon yet and I decided we should have a cup yogurt to celebrate the Hello Kitty sale! There’s nothing better than a cup of yogurt with Hello Kitty sitting next to you:]

For the first time ever, I made a trip out to Target on Black Friday. Target posted some crazy advertisement to lure Black Friday shoppers this year. When doors opened at 5am, the line was already wrapped around the mall. I found myself stumbling around the whole store, even though I knew where the Hello Kitty appliances were at. There was just absolutely no room to move with people shoving here and there. After I got to the otherside of the stores, I finally spotted pink boxes along with rows of Hello Kitty on the top shelves.

“Exclusively at Target! Hello Kitty bubble gum dispenser or tea cup clock radio, *All other Hello Kitty Appliances also on sale”

Rows and Rows of Hello Kitty Appliances :]

Hello Kitty Gumball Dispenser/Machine – Pink

Hello Kitty 1875 Watt Hair Dryer

Hello Kitty Tea Cup Clock Radio with Night Light

Hello Kitty Lighted Make-Up Mirror

Hello Kitty Sandwich Maker

Hello Kitty Table Lamp

Hello Kitty Mini Water Dispenser

I left Target with 7 appliances, the only thing I didn’t take home was the Hello Kitty Toaster since I had it already :D

Of course I forgot something! Before I checked out, I wandered into the $1 section and found more items for my $1 Target Hello Kitty Collection, which concluded my early morning Shopping at Target ;]

I finally made it out of Target at 6:40am! Rushed home to drop off my Target goodies because Sanrio was going to have their Early Bird Special from 7-10am. I’m so glad I live in the center of everything because I got to San Francisco Center not long after they opened <3

I always find myself constantly fascinated by all the Hello Kitty items I see at the store :] One kitty was never enough! I always had to walk out with something. And for Black Friday, I walked out with over 50 small and big gifts.

Hello Kitty 17″ Plush: Apron

Everything else! Notebooks, flashcards, birthday plush, dress-me-up tan Hello Kitty, coin banks, bobble heads, umbrella, pens, pencils, earrings, pins, gotochi and much more <3 From “Sanrio’s Black Friday Early Bird Special. 25% off on anything you can fit into a Hello Kitty shopping bag.”

HAVE YOU SEEN THE BIG GIANT HELLO KITTY FLEECE PLUSH AT SANRIO?

I’m holding her <3 She’s so big and heavy, the girls at the Sanrio store told me she’s 3 feet tall :]

Special Thanks to all the people that helped me out at this years Black Friday event: My brother Vincent, the girls at Sanrio: Laura, Elina and Chama, and my friend Cong for driving me all around the city :] THANK YOU!
