Rilakkuma and friends are still some of our favourite kawaii characters so here’s a peek at some of the new products coming your way very soon.

Rilakkuma cupcakes anyone? The detail on these is amazing – I love the sprinkles on the ears and the cherry on top!

There are also matching tiny Rilakkuma cakes to hang [...]

It’s another look into our kawaii crystal ball, except I’ve actually been hoarding these Winter themed products for ages and they should be in shops right now. Check your favourite kawaii stores!

Nothing better than a cosy blanket when it gets chilly, and even better if it sports Mameshiba in the snow wearing a hat and [...]

Can we post about Halloween now? Can we? Can we? YAY!

These, um, delightful cats are called Hangry and Angry but they look a bit more like Dead and Scary. The best part is, you can unzip their stomachs and keep stuff inside them!

Why don’t we feature Gloomy Bear more often? I mean, who doesn’t like [...]

Rilakkuma has to be one of my very favourite kawaii characters – I love how generally unimpressed he looks at all the ridiculous costumes and situations the San-X designers put him into.

This is the new Bath House range, and I dare you not to actually laugh out loud at the face mask plastered Rilakkuma. Hilarious.

Once again, we take a look into the future at the kawaii products you’ll be buying next year.

Your last kawaii peek of the week but we’ll be bringing you plenty more over the coming months. Since it’s the weekend, here’s something to think about.

The question being, WHAT IS GOING ON? You put it in your teapot?! For why? Does it keep your teapot from being invaded by evil spirits? Or just keep [...]

Another dose of the cutest products you’ll be seeing in shops next year.

This has to be my favourite product shot of the week. By the looks of things, these are little plush toys of Toro and Koneko but with bendable limbs for extra fun. And look how much fun they’re having! The black one at [...]

If free cake in the post from Monsieur Le Bun isn’t enough, let’s see what cakey goodness is coming up in the future.

How about these sweeties? Little plushy keyrings with the whole history of kawaii expressions and a different little happy friend. Adorable!

Another peek into our crystal ball at the amazingness being developed in the kawaii labs of Japan.

How cool is this?! A weeny little speaker for your iPod so you can have music wherever you go, and with Doraemon’s happy (or very unhappy) face on it too. Marvellous.

There’s been so many amazing future products turning up in my inbox that I’ll be sharing one every day this week. Enjoy!

Keeping on the birthday theme, how adorable are these Rilakkuma Cafe toys? I don’t mind telling you that sitting inside a donut is one of my ambitions in life. They could at least look [...]
