Pompompurin is celebrating his 25th anniversary this year so let’s dedicate a post to the cute yellow pudding dog.
It’s his birthday today too! How many of these facts did you know?
Pompompurin is Friend of the Month so everyone gets a free enamel pin with orders over $40 at Sanrio USA, though sadly they only ship to the USA & Canada.
The special 25th anniversary collection is so adorable but currently only available at special pop-up shops in Japan. You should also be able to pick up some of these items in person at Japanese Sanrio stores and hopefully other shops soon too. Cuteness (EU) already have some of the stationery items in stock.
