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?

Cute Disney Gift from Modes4U

2. December 2017

// PR Sample / Disney / Stationary //

Christmas is just around the corner and I know that many of you will probably also look online for some gift ideas…or maybe you are looking for something to spoil yourself? I personally love to make myself happy with little cute things and since I’m a huge Disney lover everything that has to do with any of their characters usually makes me happy, although I have of course my favourites. Of course, I love the Disney Princess Movies, and I love Alice in Wonderland! I was happy to receive a bag of surprises from Modes4U and in case you didn’t know that online store I can recommend you to check it out:

Modes4U is an online retailer based in Hong Kong selling cute stationery from Japan, but also fabrics, bags, accessories and DIY clay sets. They a huge selection of kawaii products directly imported from Japan and the USA and ship to customers worldwide. In the past I have ordered a couple of times from this store when I needed cute little gifts for my sister for her birthday or christmas. Especially, since they are an official San-X online retailer they have so many products containing cute japanese mascots like Rilakkuma, Gudetama, Cinnamoroll, and of course Disney characters!

Today, I want to show you a few of their products, mainly Alice in Wonderland themed ones! Who else is a big fan of Alice in Wonderland, by the way?

Alice in Wonderland Character Pouch

I must admit that I have a slight addiction for pouches. I love having pouches in my handbag for handcream, lip balm, tissues, etc, and I love to switch them every once in a while (maybe I should make a picture of some of my favourite ones on Instagram…). Back to the Alice in Wonderland Character Pouch: This pouch has a perfect size for the handbag, and fits either make-up or pencils. It has one big compartment, and two small inner lining compartments. This product is an original Disney licensed product imported from Japan. The pouch shows the scene from the tea party with the Mad Hatter and it is so colorful to look at. It retails for 27.89 US$ (23.90€).

Let’s see what we have for the next product:

Alice in Wonderland Ring Binder Notebook

Do you love making notes and lists? I do! And I have always some back-up notebooks lying around. This is not only functional, it also looks pretty with the comic panel design. This notebook is hand-sized and has squared paper inside with Alice character print in the corner. The front and the back are made from hard cover, too. This is also an original licensed Disney product from Japan. It retails for 6.52US$ (5.59€).

And here comes the last Alice in Wonderland themed product:

Alice in Wonderland Hard Flake Stickers

I love stickers! Though I tend to not use them, but keep them forever…but nontheless: they are so pretty to look at (and also are a good accessories to have for picture backgrounds :D )! This package contains 15 stickers with 5 different patterns. The stickers are hard stickers with different motives from Alice in Wonderland, like the Cashire Cat, the White Rabbit, and Alice of course. The stickers are see-through and have a gold metallic embellishment. The pack of stickers retails for 7.57 US$ (6.49€).

Modes4U also offers bento box items and has a bento box shop. The last item I want to show you is this tiny bento box:

Little Mermaid Bento Box Snack Box

This tiny Bento Box with the Little Mermaid print on the lid is so adorable! I love bento boxes and all the cute items you can buy for them and if I have time I prepare a bento for my lunch time at work. It always brings me to a happier mood. The box here is really tiny, but it fits some small snacks like a trail mix or grapes for example. It is also cute to use for small things you want to keep…for example like the stickers above. There are different motives for this tiny box with either prints from Arielle, Tinker Bell, Rapunzel, or Alice. The box can be washed up to 140 degrees Celsius, the lid can be washed up to 70 degrees Celsius, and the lower part of the box can be used in the microwave, too. This item is BPA free and therefore food and child safe! It retails for 6.99US$ (5.99€).

Perfectly for the season, the delivered items came with a free Christmas-themed Washi Tape and a Christmas themed business Card *_* So cute!

Now, and for my orders in the past, I have always been very happy with Modes4U and their products, aswell as with their delivery. The items arrive really quickly and they have a good quality, too. I can really recommend you to check out their store, and if you love cute things like the items I showed you here, you will fall in love with their product range! The shipping costs are free from 70 US$ (60€), but also if you order less than that the shipping costs are not that high and calculated on a fair basis. You might also want to check out their Christmas themed products, since it might be the perfect season for it ;).

What do you think about these items? Have you ordered from Modes4U before?

Blippo now also offers a Fukubukuro Bag called Blippo Surprise Kawaii Mixed Bag and I received kindly one of these bags for reviewing purpose.

There were items included reaching from charms, plushs, keyschains to accessoiries and everything came in a pink canvas bag.

Handyhülle von GoCustomized

23. April 2017

// PR SAMPLE / ACCESSOIRES //

Today’s post will be about a customized mobile case from GoCustumized. I decided to write the post in German since the products are directed mainly towards German customers, but shipping to other countries is possible, too.If you want to know any details to the below products, please feel free to ask in the comments below. I’ll be happy to answer your questions :)

Ich bin schon längere Zeit unzufrieden mit meiner Hartschalenhülle für mein Handy gewesen und war aber immer sehr unentschlossen was für eine neue Hülle für mich geeignet wäre. Daher kam es mir sehr recht, dass ich die Möglichkeit erhalten habe mir eine eigene Handyhülle von GoCustomized zusammen zustellen und euch vorzustellen. Ich bin super zufrieden mit dem Ergebnis und hier könnt ihr sehen für was für eine Hülle ich mich jetzt entschieden habe:

Bei GoCustomized kann man Handyhülle selbst gestalten und dazu werden zahlreiche Hüllen für verschiedene Handymodelle angeboten. Da ich selber eine Samsung Galaxy S6 besitze war es mir wichtig, dass bei einem Anbieter für Handyhüllen auch viele Handymodelle bedient werden. Bei GoCustumized findet man neben Hüllen für iPhone und Samsung auch noch weitere Anbieter, wie HTC, Huawai, LG und Sony. Es gibt die Möglichkeit zwischen verschiedenen Hüllentypen zu entscheiden, wie zum Beispiel Silikonhülle, Hardcase, Flipcase, Lederhülle, und sogar Holzhülle. Dann kann man sich außerdem aussuchen, ob man eines der vorhandenen Motive wählt. oder ein eigenes Foto oder Design verwenden möchte. Ich finde es super, dass so viele Möglichkeiten gegeben sind. Am liebsten hätte ich ein eigens gestaltetes Motiv verwendet, aber da ich aufgrund der Arbeit sehr viel um die Ohren hatte bin ich in der vorhandenen Motiv-Datenbank fündig geworden und habe genau ein Motiv gefunden was meinem Geschmack entsprochen hat.

Das Gestalten und Aussuchen der Handyhülle geht problemlos und sehr selbsterklärend von statten, und wenn man sich erst einmal für eine Hülle entschieden hat wird diese auch schnellstmöglich bearbeitet und verschickt. Nach spätestens drei Tagen erfolgt der Versand. Meine Hülle kam nach exakt 3 Tagen bei mir an.

Und hier ist die fertige Silikonhülle für die ich mich entschieden habe. Ich wollte gerne ein Blättermotiv verwenden, weil ich momentan ziemlich verliebt in Monstera-Pflanzen bin. Die Hülle passt auch perfekt zum Sommer und zur Urlaubszeit vom Motiv her. Davor hatte ich eine Hardcase-Hülle, die mein Handy aber nur riesig aussehen lassen hat. Mit der Silikonhülle wird das Handy kaum dicker als ohne, ist aber dabei dank der griffigeren Rückseite der Hülle besser in der Hand zu halten als vorher.

Das neue Design für das Samsung Galaxy S6 lässt mein Handy auch wieder im neuen Glanz erstrahlen. Ich bin total begeistert was so ein Hüllenwechsel bewirken kann. Vielleicht sollte ich öfter mal die Handyhülle tauschen um diesen Effekt auszulösen.

Eine Handyhülle von GoCustomized aus Silikon kostet 14.99 € zuzüglich Versand (Standardversand liegt bei 2.39 €). Ich finde der Preis ist fair für die zum einen gute Verarbeitung und zum anderen für die Schnelligkeit der Lieferung. Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit meiner neuen Handyhülle und kann jedem der von seinem Handy gelangweilt ist nur empfehlen sich auch einmal eine neue Hülle zuzulegen.

Was haltet ihr von meiner neuen Handyhülle von GoCustomized?

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.

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Did you try the Kawaii Box already’? Would you be intrigued to buy it?

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!

If you are interested in TokyoTreat and YumeTwins Box visit their webpage, their instagram, or their facebook page.

Kawaii Box April 2016 and Giveaway

15. June 2016

// PR SAMPLE / KAWAII / AFFILIATE LINKS //

You know my weakness for asian stationary and other cute stuff, so here I am again with another Kawaii Box unboxing and of course there is a giveaway at the end of this post for you ♥ The box I’m showing you today is the Kawaii Box April 2016 by the way!

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 they will send the selected winner the box. Please no cheating! We will check the entries ;)

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! 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).

More Cute Stuff From Blippo Kawaii Store & Giveaway

13. February 2016

// PR SAMPLE / KAWAII //

You might know Blippo already from their subscription boxes Japan Candy Box and Kawaii Box which I have reviewed previously. I also made a post in the past about their store, which you will find >>here<<. I’m happy to show you today some More Cute Stuff From Blippo Kawaii Store, which I totally fell in love with while browsing through their store. Oh, by the way, there is a giveaway at the end of this post were you can win some products from Blippo, too!

While browsing Blippo it is not hard to find some cute things to like if you love kawaii things. Blippo offer stuff from Japan like Magazines and Candy and Snacks, but also a lot of stationary items and character items from Hello Kitty, San-X (like Rillakkuma, Sentimental Circus, Gloomy Bear…), and Ghibli. They have also some fashion items, like bags and purses and cute accessories. They offers free shipping, too! I chose three items from their store, and they are so adorable I cannot stop looking at them.

The first item I want to show you is the Happy Animal Letter Set. This letter set comes with 2 envelopes with an imprinted animal face and 4 matching letter papers. There are different design with different animal faces available. I chose the bear face, because it looks soooo adorable with the cherry on its head :D The letter set has a Korean design, but it is made in China. Perfectly suited for a quick letter or note to a friend and make him or her smile.

The second items is the Cute Bear Milk & Tea Cup, which is unfortunately out of stock at the moment (the link is not working for now, but you can look within the category of cups and mugs whether you will find it there). These cups were available in large and in small versions with differently colored bears. The idea of the bear face, which is the bottom of the cup on the same time is absolutely awesome :D It also reminds you of drinking enough by stating “8 times a day”. Again, the design is Japanese, but the product is made in China. The cup is made of odorless and heat-resistant plastic, but it can not be used in the microwave. It is safe for food though and made from eco-friendly material (FDA approved).

The last product is the Strawberry Bento Box. This small plastic Bento Box is divided into two compartments and comes with a plastic spoon aswell. It is BPA free and food safe, freezer safe, microwave safe (I personally would not microwave it though…), and dishwasher safe (without the elastic band, which is included to keep the box together). I would say it is not leak-proof though, but perfect for some smaller lunch at work. I’m really looking forward to use it soon! I love strawberries, and the design seems to be just perfect for me :D

How do you like my new cute goods from Blippo? Is there anything you would also like to have? I’m super happy with these items and they really made my day more happy and enjoyable!
