Unboxing: Kawaii Box June 2018 & Giveaway

12. July 2018

// PR SAMPLE / CUTE / UNBOXING //

I want to share my unboxing of the Kawaii Box June 2018 today, and as before you will have the chance to win a Kawaii Box of your own. Simply scroll down to the end of the post and you will know how to enter. Thanks to Kawaii Box for sponsoring the giveaway and sending me this box ♥

Let’s have a look inside to see what we’ve got this time :)

The box is as always densely packed and you will spot so many pink and cute colors already from this point on.

We have a total of 10 products this time, and if you love Japanese mascots you will be totally satisfied here.

Panda Bento Rice Maker

One of my personal highlights is this Panda Bento Rice Maker! I love Japanese kitchen ware for making cute bento lunch boxes and I have some supplies at home already. This was something I haven’t yet, and I love it already! Can’t wait to try this out :)

Cute Bunny Drink Coaster

At first I didn’t know what this cute rabbit is used for, but a quick glance into the booklet revealed that it is a coaster. Perfect! The white color fits nicely to my desk and computer, so I have placed it on my desk and I’m using it already :)

Salmon Sushi Boy Squishy & Kawaii Hamster Soft Bag Charm

There is no Kawaii box without either a plushie or a squishy. These two are more than adorable. I love especially the hamster charm, because it remind me of Hamtaro. The sushi squishy is supposed to smell cute, too.

Kawaii Drinking Straw Pen & Sumikko Gurashi Deco Stickers

Pen and stickers are stationary staples in Japan! They always surprise me with new designs and more cuteness. That straw pen is the perfect summer accessory to write down some sunny notes. And the characters from Sumikko Gurashi are too cute!

Moomin Memo Pad Set

The second highlight for me is this Moomin Memo Pad Set. Moomins are so cute and I love notes with characters and cute designs. I will definitely have good use for these and I love the fact that we have four different designs here in one.

Precure Grape Gummies & Hello Kitty Strawberry Marshmellows

Although there is a box that consists of sweets only too, the Kawaii box contains two candy products for us. One are Grape Gums with characters of the popular magical girl series Pretty Cure. Have you watched this anime? The second candy is Hello Kitty marshmallows. Looking forward to try both of these candies.

Neko Ears Soft Headband

Another useful item is this Neko Ears Soft Headband, especially as skin care and makeup addict headbands like this are very convenient when washing your face, applying skin care, or makeup.

This is really a “Kawaii Summer”! I think the products really make your every day more cute than ever. If you are a sucker for cute things from Japan you will love the Kawaii Box! How do you like the content of the June Box?

You can get the Kawaii Box >>here<<. There are different options of subscribing for the box. You can choose between several options: either to order only one box, 6 boxes (6 months subscription) or 12 boxes (1 year subscription). Each box retails at 19.90 US$.

Unboxing & Giveaway: Kawaii Box February 2017

19. March 2017

It’s been a long time since I did an unboxing for Kawaii Box, but here I am again and as usual in combination with a giveaway, so you can win your own Kawaii Box, too! Thanks to Kawaii Box for sponsoring the giveaway and sending me this box ♥ Here is what was inside my Kawaii Box February 2017:

I reviewed the Kawaii Box a couple of times ago and it is always filled with so many cute items from Japan and Korea, reaching from stationary, stickers, charms, and even plushies. Those of you who love these kind of overly cute items will have the chance to win a Kawaii Box for yourselves :D Simply fill out the Rafflecopter form at the end of this post. The giveaway is sponsored by Kawaii Box and we will pick the winner randomly and the prize will be send out by KAwaii Box to the winner. Please no cheating! We will check the entries ;)

As usual, the Kawaii Box came packed in a cute box with purple hearts and a pink scalloped ribbon printed on the box. It is obvious that this box will contain adorable products already from the packaging. Opening up the box reveals many densly packed products inside:

The Kawaii Box February 2017 contained 11 different products this time. reaching from plushies, to stationary, small cute accesories, stickers, and so on. The cute card lists all the items. I love that cat illustration on their product card so much *_*

Let’s start with the products that were inside the Kawaii Box: This was actually the first time I saw and heard about a phone ring holder and stand. The kawaii bunny shaped ring holder can be attached to the backside of your phone (or your phone’s case) and used to pop up your phone on the desk. I’ve been loving this, especially it gives me additional secure grip while holden the phone in the bus or train for example. I also was very happy to discover the Ghost Pop Pocket Mirror in this box, because I love pocket mirrors and I love to exchange them regularly in my makeup pouch :D A cute Ribbon Hair Clip and a Harajuku Badge were also included, as well as a Pocky Stick Ballpoint Pen. I love Pocky Sticks to eat, and every time I go to the asian grocery store I pick up Pocky Sticks, if they are available. And a pen shaped like a Pocky Stick?! What else could I wish for :D ?!

Every Kawaii Box comes with a DIY Kit and some sweets. This time Kracie Popin’ Cookin’ DIY Kit Colorful Ramune Land was included., as well as Glico Popcan Disney Lollipop. Stickers are also part of the Kawaii Box usually. Here, we have got Valentine’s Plush Stickers ( it was the Valentine’s Box, so this fits perfectly), and Twinkle Deco Jewels.

Last, but not least, the box contained some Korean Meal Erasers and a Nemuneko Plushie. The plushie was of course the highlight of the box for me :D Isn’t it adoreable?!

All in all, the Kawaii Box February 2017 was filled with many and versatile products, being cute and adoreable from top to bottom. But as usual, since it is a surprise subscription box you never know what’s inside and there will be items that you will like more, and items that you will like less. I think the Kawaii Box can be a wonderful gift for children and fans of kawaii stuff from Japan or Korea.

As you can see from the images the box is packed densly with items. Each box contains a card with the included products listed on it. I love the design of the card because it fits to the “kawaii” topic. The Kawaii Box April 2016 contains 12 items in total. There are stickers, pens, sweets, purses, and so on included.

Usually, my favorite products from these kinds of boxes are the stationary items or the anime based plushies. So I will start off with my favorite items from this box: the Egg Highlighter Set is definitely one of these items! The box came with 6 of these cute, tiny eggs, each illustrated with an adorable animal face. All the markers have a distinct color, as you can see from the coloring of the bottom of the eggs.

My second favorite product is the Ghost Family Pen. This gel pen is especially unique, since it can be erased with the rubber on the end of the pen. I never had a gel liner which is erasable, too…I was totally astonished!

And there is no Kawaii Box without cute stickers inside…this box came with Juwelry Seal Deko Stickers and Glow in the Dark Stickers. Another cute thing are these Bonjour Envelopes. I’m sure your friends will love to receive a letter or gift in these :D ♥

The Kawaii Face Mini Purse and the Emoticon Squichy Charm are both suited to keep your chains. Moreover the box came with a 3D Panda Card Sticker and some Girly Pastel Hair Loops and Pins. The later are perfect for kids.

And as with every Kawaii Box there are some sweets included, too: The Oekaki Sherbet DIY Candy Kit and the Anpanman Ramune Candy! I didn’t try them yet, but the DIY jelly looks kind of cute with the animal shapes. Last but not least the box came with a Korean Deco Tape Set. The set included three mini dispensers and 9 different tapes with colorful motives. I love the tapes!

The Kawaii Box April 2016 shows a nice variety of super adorable items. We have stationary, accessoires, sweets, and keychains. My favorite items from this box were the stationary items, esp0ecially the erasable gel pen. The Kawaii Box definitively keeps up to its name again and delivers what kawaii lovers expect!

Unboxing: Kawaii Box June 2015

4. August 2015

Blippo doesn’t offer Japanese Candy Boxes only, but they also have another monthly subscription box called Kawaii Box. I was kindly send the Kawaii Box for June and here is my unboxing of it. Be careful, this post contains an overdose of cuteness :D!

Like the Japan Candy Box I reviewed previously the Kawaii Box is a monthly subscription box. Instead of candy you will find a box full of cute things delivered right to your doorstep. I will show you the Kawaii Box June 2015 and the content of this box today.

Each box contains a card with the included products listed on it. I love the design of the card because it fits to the “kawaii” topic. The Kawaii Box June 2015 contains 12 items in total. The Box contains a lot of stationary, like the Hello Kitty Pen you see below, but also other kawaii goodies.

The Hello Kitty Pen is a small mechanical pencil with a Hello Kitty Charm attached to the top. The pen is is really cute and has a dotted pattern all around. I love dots! And retractable pencils, too! The Animal Sticky Notes you’ll see below are one of my favorite products from the Kawaii Box June 2015. The bird shaped notes are so adorable and I already started to decorate my monitor with it :D.

The cuteness doesn’t stop here, but continues with the Cute Animal Pill Box. I don’t know what pills to put inside, but I filled it with mints instead. It has three containers you can fill with different pills/sweets. The Sushi Pluggy Charm is probably the only item I won’t be using, since I don’t like phone plugs too much. Nevertheless, the idea of a sushi shaped plug is funny!

The Ice Cream Stickers are super adorable and I really love the mice and bear and bunny stickers. Any idea where to put them? They are too cute to be wasted :D More stationary was included in form of the Cute Guys Stationary Set, which contains two pencils, one mechanical pencil, a sharpener and rubber. The set is really funny and one never can have enough pencils.

Alpaca fans will be overly happy with the Alpaca Bag Charm included in the Kawaii Box June 2015. This pink key chain comes with a bunch of key rings, too, which is really useful. The backside of the alpaca can be used as a mirror, too :D

The Kawaii Box June 2015 also contains some sweet stuff: the Kracie Bubble Jelly DIY Candy! I didn’t try it yet, but I suspect that it is very sweet :D Another charm in this box was the Strawberry Squishy Charm. This charm is shaped like a strawberry which was dipped in chocolate frosting…it looks delicious!

For nail art lovers the Korean Nail Art Set in this box will be the right product. This set contains fake nails and glitter to vamp up your nails. Pink is not my nail color, so I won’t be using it, but it might be fun for small girls.

The two remaining products from the Kawaii Box June 2015 are also my favorites: the Smiling Poop Sharpener and the Kawaii Bean Mini Plush! I love how adorable these two products are! Both products are also available in other colors.

Look how adorable the two look together! *_* love them! ♥

The Kawaii Box June 2015 shows a nice variety of super cute items. We have stationary, beauty, sweets, plushies and charms and everything is overly cute, too! The Kawaii Box definitively keeps up to its name! You can get the Kawaii Box >>here<<. There are different options of subscribing for the box. You can choose between several options: either to order only one box, to order three boxes (3 months subscription), 6 boxes (6 months subscription) or 12 boxes (1 year subscription). Each box retails at 18.90 US$. For the 6 months and the 12 months subscription you pay a bit less per box. Did you try the KAwaii Box already’? Would you be intrigued to buy it?

Unboxing: Japan Candy Box April 2018 & Giveaway

8. May 2018

// UNBOXING / FOOD / PR SAMPLE //

Japan Candy Box has made some changes in their boxes regarding design, booklet and pricing and that means it is time for a new unboxing for this Japanese sweets subscription box! This is the Japan Candy Box April 2018! As usual, there will be a giveaway at the end of this post where you have the chance to win a Japan Candy Box, so ikeep on continue reading! ;) Let’s see what delicious sweets I received this time:

Japan Candy Box is a Japanese sweets subscription box by Blippo. Apart from the Japan Candy Box they also have the Kawaii Box, which contains cute toy items, stationary, tiny plushies and so on. I’m very happy to be able to show you the Japan Candy Box April 2018! I love to try out sweets and food from different countries and one thing I especially love about Japanese products is the cute packaging design and the little details they include to make the product most enjoyable. I knew some of the products already from other snack boxes, but there were some new and also delicious discoveries, too!

The Japan Candy Box comes in a cardboard box with purple print. Everything here screams already “cute” just from looking at the box. The cute theme is continued inside and here we have the new description card. But instead of the usual card they have now changed it to a brochure.

Now we see small illustrations to each of the products along with the description, which makes it so much easier to know what is what. Still, the box is filled with 10 different products, varying from sweet to salty. The topic of this month is of course the Sakura Season! Cherry blossoms are always am important thing in Japan, but the season is also about being together and havinf picknicks outside.

Let’s see what we have inside this time:

Japan Candy Box April 2018

Kit Kat Dark Chocolate Mini Bar

Japanese dark chocolate version of Kit Kats. The flavor is written as ‘otona no amasa’ which translates to ‘adults’ sweetness’. This Kit Kat combined the crunchy waver with dark chocolate.

Pocky Natural Strawberry Biscuit Sticks

Who loves Pocky Sticks? I do! I’m always looking for some when I’m in an asian grocery shop. These sweet strawberry Pocky sticks have no artificial colors or flavorings and the packaging design is so adorable!

Kabaya Puchi Purin Pudding Chocolates

Another perfect packaging design! This cup looks even like a pudding cup, but inside are tiny mini chocolates shaped like traditional Japanese pudding.

Kasugai Rose Aroma Ramune Candy

Love the packaging here again! Somehow it reminds me of a sheet mask or skincare packaging though! These are rose flavored ramune candy blended with catechin and rose petal extract.

Meiji Fruit Gumi Peach Gummy Candy

One of the best selling soft candy in Japan! I had these in another box already and enjoyed them. They are made with concentrated, real peach juice preserving the real fruit taste.

Koikeya Scorn Wafu BBQ Corn Snacks

Now on to some salty snacks. Here are salty and savory Japanese-style barbecue flavored corn puffs. Barbecue is always a good joice when it comes to snacks.

Tohato Caramel Corn Snacks

The delicious taste of caramel and the crispiness of the corn puffs make these a perfect snack!

Yaokin Umaibo Snack Natto Flavor

Umaibo or “delicious stick” in Japanese is a puffed corn snack. This one is flavored with Natto, fermented soya bean powder.

Tomica Ramune Candy

Soda flavor ramune candies in the shapes of cars and other popular Tomica toys.

Popin’ Cookin’ Kuru Kuru Takoyaki DIY Candy Kit

A japanese snack or candy subscription always needs a DIY Kit! This one is a set for making the popular Japanese street food snack Takoyaki (octopus balls) from candy ingredients.

The Japan Candy Box April 2018 was full of versatile candy and snacks from Japan as always. I’m especially loving the japanese chocolates and I’m always excited to try new ones. I love how they improved the brochure and illustrations! If you are interested in your own Japan Candy Box you can make a monthly subscription for this box. You can choose between several options: either to order only one box, 6 boxes (6 months subscription) or 12 boxes (1 year subscription). Each box retails at 19.90 US$. For the 6 months and the 12 months subscription you pay a bit less per box. Now, if you have reading so far you’ll probably be curious for the giveaway. Here it is: You can win a Japan Candy Box of you own sponsored by Japan Candy Box. For entering the giveaway please take part with help of the Rafflecopter gadget below.

asian stationary beauty beauty boxes home PR sample TokyoTreat

Unboxing: YumeTwins Box November 2016 “Breakfast”

2. December 2016

TokyoTreat also offers a subscription box for Japanese cute things called YumeTwins. I received the YumeTwins Box November 2016 a couple of days ago and I’m happy to share its content with you today. The topic of this months YumeTwins Box was “Breakfast”, the most important meal of the day, as it is said!

YumeTwins Box is a monthly subscription box service located in Japan and delivering cute and kawaii stuff from Japan. They state that it centers around the terms Yume Kawaii, which is a new Kawaii movement that has developed, being a mix of cuteness, fairytale and darkness.

Each YumeTwins box contains 8-10 items reaching from plushies, squiechies, collectible keychains and figures, stationary and accessories. The box can be either subscribed monthly, or in packages of 3, 6 or 12 months. The YumeTwins Box November 2016 contains exactly 8 items and revolves around the topic “Breakfast”, since breakfast has an important role in Japanese culture. Traditional Japanese breakfast is very hearty, serving fish, rice, eggs, pickles and miso soup. But of course there is also western breakfast available in Japan.

The box was packed to the top, mainly because it contained a HUGE plushie this time: the Shinada Baby Nature Plushies are suuuper soft and fluffy and there were different types available in the boxes. My box contained a baby alpaca *_* Isn’t it adorable? The plushie is not really related to breakfast, but still it is so adorable..and maybe it can be part of a tea party instead ;)

Another Hit-item in the YumeTwins Box November 2016 were the Re-ment’s Sailor Moon Sweets Mascot. These are blind boxes containing one out of 6 cute and tasty looking Sailor Moon themed charms. In my box the Tuxedo charm was included. Since the charms are designed as sweets this fits nicely into the breakfast topic.

Another charm was also part of this month’s box: the Sumikko Gurashi Sushi Rubber Keychain Charm! In Japan you can have Sushi for breakfast at fish markets, although it is not really a typical breakfast food. Still, the key charms are so cute and I love the rubber material they have.

Japan is known for their adoreable stationary and of course the box needed some notepads, too. My box contained a Obento Mate Mini-Notepad, illustrated with cute pandas/bears and typical food which is part of a japanese bento (onigiri, bunny-apple-slices, octopus sausages…). I love these kind of mini-notepads!

More stationary of course: the Sanrio Kirimichan Post-Its and Sanrio Gudetama stickers! I know you guys love Gudetama and lately there have been so many fun beauty product collaborations with this egg mascot. Egg is the key breakfast product in most countries all over the world, so it is super fitting into the breakfast theme. Kirimichan is not so well-known as Gudetama, but it is also a food themed character from Sanrio, depicting a salmon piece. Fish is very important in traditional Japanese breakfast, so this one fits in perfect, too!

I fell in love with the Rilakkuuma Tea Party Darjeeling Tea Bags at first sight. These adorable teabags have a cardboard Rilakkuuma illustration which acts as a holder for the teabag on the same time. So adorable and perfect for a tealover, especially for breakfast!

The last item of the YumeBox November 2016 is the Enogumasan 2-Way Marker. Enogumasan is a bear character from popular japanese stationary maker Kamio. The marker has two sides, a thicker and a thin side. And of course it is super cute. Not necessarily a breakfast themed products but still I love it!

YumeTwins Box made me totally happy and I love the concept of this subscription box. If you are a Japan stationary and cute stuff lover you will adore this box. I love how they have a theme for it and try to find products that fit to the theme. In the magazine which is included in the box you will find the descriptions from the products but also some more information about the topic, which also gives you more insight about japanese culture. The YumeTwins Box retails for 29.99 US $ including worldwide shipping. The 3,6, and 12 month plans have a discounted price. EDIT: I just read the news that they made a Makeover for YumeTwins Box. The new YumeTwins Box will contain only 5 items, but they will include in EACH Box high Quality plushies, lifestyle goods and premium character goods worth over 50 US$. The new YumeTwins Box changes are based on a survey among their subscribers. For their launch there is a Grand Renewal Sale, where subscribers can get UP TO $60 DISCOUNT on the YumeTwins plans until Dec 8th, 2016 using coupon NEWYUMETWINS! Don’t miss your chance to try it!

Unboxing: Japan Candy Box September 2016 and Giveaway

11. November 2016

The last Japan Candy Box unboxing has been months ago. Time for a new one for this Japanese sweets subscription box! This is the Japan Candy Box September 2016! And as usual, there will be a giveaway at the end of this post where you have the chance to win a Japan Candy Box, so it is worth continue reading! ;) Let’s see what delicious sweets I received this time:

Japan Candy Box is a Japanese sweets subscription box by Blippo. Apart from the Japan Candy Box they also have the Kawaii Box, which contains cute toy items, stationary, tiny plushies and so on. I’m very happy to be able to show you the Japan Candy Box September 2016! I love to try out sweets and food from different countries and one thing I especially love about Japanese products is the cute packaging design and the little details they include to make the product most enjoyable. Some of the product I knew already, but there were some new and also delicious discoveries, too!

Each Japan Candy Box comes with a cute card listing the items that were included in the box. There are a total of 10 items for this month including all kinds of Japanese sweets and snacks.

You already see all the colorful packaging of the different sweets and snacks popping up in the picture below. And of course all the products are cute and funny regarding their design.

Usually, there is one DIY kit per box but for this month there were even two DIY Kits: Popin’ Cookin’ Oekaki Animal Candy Land DIY Kit and Kracie Dodotto Octopus Eggs DIY Kit. With the Popin’ Cookin’ Oekaki Animal Candy Land DIY Kit set you can make your own sweets. There are molds with differently shaped animals which you can use to create muli-colored soda-flavored gummy animals. Kracie Dodotto Octopus Eggs DIY Kit sounds not really like something that I would love to eat, but seems that you can create soda-flavored bits of candy looking like octopus eggs that can be eaten with a fizzy candy powder on top. The DIY Kits are especially fun for children!

The box also contains some savory snacks, Calbee Vegetable Snacks and Tohato Caramel Corn. I love the idea by Calbee of making snacks with other vegetables as potatoes, but bell pepper, carrot and tomato. also, they have no extra oil or fat added. I love how the Tohato Caramel Corn has a face printed on the packaging.

The majority of the box is candy like the Kanro Pure Mini Gummies, Coris Soft Centered Grape Gum, and Kabaya Mixed Fruit Bottle Candy. Love how all three of them have purple colors :D It seems also that Japanese people love grape and especially candies with grape taste. The Kanro Pure Mini Gummies are made from 100% fruit purée with no artificial colors or flavors. These soft fruit gummies are covered in sour powder. The Coris Soft Centered Grape Gums are the perfect Trick or Treat Candy! These soft grape flavoured gum balls have a soft cola paste center, but one of the three tasty bubble gum treats is actually a super sour flavour sweet in disguise :D Lastly, the Kabaya Mixed Fruit Bottle Candy are tiny, hard candy pieces with different fruity flavours (apple, grape and orange). I love the cute packaging design of this one!

Japanese sweets are also known for anime themed packaging or other cute illustrations, like the Lotte Pokemon Ramune Candy, the Doraemon Ramune Squash Soda Bubble Gum and the Coris Berry Mix Soft Candy. They all have the most adorable packaging designs.

I love the Lotte Pokemon Ramune Candy Design. It displays Pikachu and has Ananas flavour. These round candy start frizzing when you eat them. By the way, Ramune is quite popular these days in Japan and it is a citrus flavoured soda drink. The Doraemon Ramune Squash Soda Bubble Gum contains five stripes of bubble gum, each wrapped in a paper with a different Doraemon design.

The Japan Candy Box for September 2016 was full of versatile candy and snacks from Japan. I knew some of the brands, but I didn’t try any of the products in one of the previous Japan Candy Boxes. I missed the biscuits or chocolate flavoured products in this box though. I love how they added the messages into the cardboradbox, too! If you are interested in your own Japan Candy Box you can make a monthly subscription for this box. You can choose between several options: either to order only one box, to order three boxes (3 months subscription), 6 boxes (6 months subscription) or 12 boxes (1 year subscription). Each box retails at 19.90 US$. For the 6 months and the 12 months subscription you pay a bit less per box. Now, if you have reading so far you’ll probably be curious for the giveaway.
