Super Cute Kawaii!!

Putitto Cup Hangers

Posted on September 26, 2016 by Marceline

We shared the NicoNico cat cup hangers recently and I thought you might like to see more. Cup hangers seem to be a very Japanese thing, in that they’re super kawaii but don’t really have much purpose. The first ones featured a girl called Fuchiko who would sit on the edge of a glass and it soon grew into a bit of a craze with her in new poses and even teaming up with Funassyi.

I bought a couple in Japan as they’re quite cheap and in blind boxes so you get a surprise. My Kanahei’s Small Animals figurine is a sleeping one and the details are so great, with his cheek smushed into the side of the glass! My sister was lucky enough to get Ditto Pikachu.

You can find most of your favourite kawaii and anime characters as Putitto hangers now. I really love the Neko Atsume ones.

And there are lots of cute animals including cats, pugs, hamsters and these adorable hedgehogs.

If you’d like to buy some, check out Amazon Global, PlayAsia, AmiAmi and Tokyo Otaku Mode. Some will sell single boxes and others you need to buy a whole set.

Most Wanted!

Most Wanted: Totoro Plush Chair

Posted on September 23, 2016 by Marceline

Anyone got a spare $200 because I really need one of these plush Totoro sofa chairs! We’re all jealous of Mei in My Neighbour Totoro when she gets to have a Totoro nap and now you can lounge around on him yourself.

It’s big enough for adults and super soft and cuddly so if you’ve got the cash, head over to J-List and be the envy of everyone.

Let's Go Shopping!

Pack Your Cute Bag

Posted on September 20, 2016 by Natasja

I’ve got a soft spot for cute bags and probably own one for every occasion. These days I find myself reaching for my tote bag (with kitten print ^_^) often, as it’s so easy to carry around. With this in mind I’ve made a selection of bags that are both kawaii and practical. I hope you’ll see something to your liking!

This fluffy rabbit bag will hold your essentials and you could even use it as a power-nap pillow ;)

I’m a fan of the Osumashi Poo-chan collection at Tokyo Otaku Mode and really like their cute cat bag. It will hold a good amount of items, but you can also check out the backpacks section if you are looking for something roomier.

How sweet is this Neko Atsume bag and pouch set? The bag can hold a notebook and the small pouch fits into the head-shaped front pocket! You can order it using AmazonGlobal.

Modes4u offers a nice selection of kawaii bags, including this Sumikko Gurashi handbag. It’s a smaller bag with some tiny inner-and outer pockets. You could use it to bring your lunch or other essentials with you, oh and it’s on sale right now (^_^).

In Japan you can buy magazines/mooks that come with a bag. These bags are often made in collaboration with high-end (fashion) brands at an affordable price. The bag books, such as this bright bag set from Grand Ground, are available at CD Japan.
