Know someone who’s about to give birth? Give them Hello Kitty or Dear Daniel sweets to celebrate the new arrival!

 The package comes complete with a sugar Kitty (for girls)/Daniel (for boys), candies, and actual mini-cakes.

What makes the package cuter is that you can actually have the name of the baby appear on the mini-cakes! This means that the cakes are hand-made and actually created specifically for each order.

Because of this, each order will only be available after 10 days.

The Kitty/Daniel sugar candy is 3.5 x 3 x 2.5 cm. The mini-cakes are 3 x 2.5 x 2 cm. each.

Each package costs 1,260 yen.

From all of us here on SanrioTown to all of you: Happy Chinese New Year! May you be prosperous and happy in this coming one!

Guess what? It hasn’t been released, and yet “The Adventures of Hello Kitty & Friends” has already won an award!

The series has won the Hong Kong ICT Awards 2007 Digital Entertainment Award for Best Digital Animation TV series, held last 21 January 2008. The body recognizes the best works produced in Hong Kong in terms of digital entertainment.

“The Adventures of Hello Kitty & Friends” is the first Sanrio series made entirely in CGI, and it follows the stories of friends Hello Kitty, Dear Daniel, Badtz-Maru, Pochacco, My Melody, and Keroppi, with the special appearances of other well-loved characters. While the tales may be funny and entertaining, they are also loaded with values, making it a show worth watching by the whole family.
