Pokemon Day Buys & DIYs

It’s Pokémon Day and I’ve got a fab selection of tutorials, DIYs and even some goodies to buy in celebration. Which will you choose?

One item I have on my ‘to buy’ list is this pocket crop tee from the Pokemon Centre (UK/US). It turns Pikachu into a literal Pocket Monster! There are also designs for Espeon, Leafeon and Umbreon, all in sizes XS-3XL

Who would you pick as your starter? Seeing as Pikachu isn’t an option, I’d probably say Charmander. So while I wait to be a Pokemon trainer, this paper craft version from Paper Pokés will just have to be my alternative. It’s a free download and there are plenty of other Pokemon to choose from too.

Have any Pokemon manga, or are you just an avid reader? These bookends from the Pokemon Centre (UK/US) are perfect for any fellow Pikachu fan.

Perhaps themed homeware isn’t for you, but you want to turn Pikachu into something a little tastier? These Pikachu cupcakes by Midwestern Moms are absolutely adorable and great for a Pokemon themed celebration. Or have a look at my Pokemon Day Treats & Recipes post from last year for more ideas.

If cupcake decorating isn’t something you fancy, but you still want a Pokemon cake, then why not pick up some themed sprinkles. These from Special Sprinkle Co (US) are definitely Pikachu biased, but I love the little pokeballs!

Are you a cross stitch fan or a Game Boy gamer? With this digital cross stitch pattern from Needle Minder Lair, you can mix your favourite fandom with your hobby and create some Bulbasaur art as a cute wall decoration that would look perfect above any gaming set up.

Mystery boxes are so popular and while some are pretty basic, I love how detailed the Re-Ment figures are. Each one of these Swing Vignette Collection figures is an adorable swinging scene where the Pokemon swings from part of a different themed background. Try your luck at Tofu Cute (UK) or Re-Ment stockists worldwide.
