Spotted more cool stuff on eBay - didn’t these look just like a recent special edition from Louis Vuitton???
These from Sanrio:
VS. the Monogram Groom limited edition from Louis Vuitton:

Wonder if one day there will be a true crossover between LV and Hello Kitty - if so, I will probably be the first one to buy them! hahaha

Don’t have an oven? No problem! You can still ‘bake’ a Hello Kitty shaped cake/pancake with this little Hello Kitty face shaped mould that I came across on eBay:

The meal will be even more complete to serve with a Hello Kitty GOLD PLATED (!) serving knife which I also spotted from eBay:

I am quite interested in the serving knife and at less than US$10- after shipping is considered I think it’s something I can consider adding to my collection! (I only buy useful things these days hehehe ^___^ )

These days many newly weds like to invite a team of people to perform the lion dance, a very traditional Chinese dance, at their weddings. In case she got called upon, Hello Kitty and Minna no Tabo have been practising together the art of the Lion Dance:
Looks like they are ready for hire anytime : )
Spotted at esdlife shop which ships to Hong Kong residents only.

If you are like me who can never remember which key is for which door, this little gadget is sure to give us a better handle on things:

These key caps come in so many different styles I guess the hard part now is not trying to figure out which key is for which door but which key cap to use for each door : D : D : D

This weekend is going to be a busy weekend for me filled with two weddings for two of my best girlfriends, and the two weddings reminded me of the little pair of Hello Kitty & Dear Daniel which we bought on our Taiwan trip last year, that looked just like the one pictured below:

When Hello Kitty and Dear Daniel kiss, they will say "I Love You" - my husband somehow decided to buy this from the airport Hello Kitty shop while I am busy purchasing For Sale in Taiwan only souvenirs ^^”””’
Maybe for this weekend only, they should be saying "I do" for my friends instead! hehehe

Saw this Hello Kitty Boiled Egg Mould on eBay which promise to give you a Hello Kitty shaped egg:


Instruction said that one should boil the egg first and remove the shell and then put the egg inside the mould and place in cold water … does that really work?
I can’t seem to make sense out of it - I would think for a million year one should crack a raw egg into the mould and boil the whole thing together. Shaping an already cooked egg and force it into a mould just sounds so impossible to me ^^”””
Any one own this who can solve the mystery for me?

Jealous to those who had cute baby girls : (

Please kindly contact me at hellomimi (at) hellokitty (dot) com with your name and postal address and I will send the mini Hello Kitty plush to you next time I am at the post office.
And thanks to those who have participated and left precious comments, I am a little upset there is only 11 comments this time, I was hoping to at least match the participation last time … I guess no one like my stuff : (

Got an email this morning from Fotomax in Hong Kong with the following image included:
The promotion includes free Hello Kitty or Cinnamoroll photo album with purchase of 20 or more prints or a coupon where you can get a specially framed picture for just HK$3 each when you purchase 50 or more prints in store.
Too bad this offer is for walk-in customers at the Fotomax Hong Kong stores only and not applicable to online orders …. why can’t we have these at our local photo labs???? : (

Hmm … as if we didn’t spend enough time on TVs and computers at home, there is now a Hello Kitty Pocket TV complete with a one-seg TV receiver (not sure what that means …), built-in speakers, rechargeable lithium battery that lasts up to 4.5 hours and a 2.4" screen:
Source: http://gizmoden.com/hello-kitty-face-one-seg-tv-receiver/
The design is very cute, very similar to my Hello Kitty face camera (which I must say the picture quality is way more inferior than what I would have expected from an original Sanrio product). But since I am against children playing video games and watching movies etc., I am not supportive of the idea or the product itself ^^”””
Should you be interested though, it is available in Japan for 21,000 yen each beginning July 18th.

You might ask - what’s so special about this pillow?

On surface it might not look any different from any other Hello Kitty plush or cushion you have at home, but the secret is on the inside - where the middle is slightly recessed so that your baby’s head will keep in a nice and round shape while sleeping on it.
Plus, it can also become your baby’s favourite/security item of choice with its washable covers! Plus portion of the proceeds from the purchase will be donated to ‘Ogyaa Kenkin’, a charity for disabled babies in Japan. Now that’s multi-purpose!

Both the feeding pillow and this donut pillow can be found at jshoppers.com - which does ship internationally - hurray!

Eh … finally the one thing I liked to own from all the HKBW madness in Hong Kong:

(From Jimmy’s generous sharing at http://picasaweb.google.com/jp20021010/HELLOKITTYBLACKWONDER2008/photo#5223775847493420946 - you can find more magazine scan relating to the event from the same album)
I don’t go out a whole lot … but the one place that I will go to at least once a week is the supermarket, and it seems like I can never have enough shopping bag so adding one more cute Hello Kitty ones to my collection of grocery bags is never too much!
HINT HINT: If anyone plans to get me anything from HKBW - this is the one things you can consider, everything else I am just not so crazy about =^.^= Thanks in advance!!! hehe

The HKBW event in Hong Kong is starting as of today, and I got loads of emails, messages, and links from my friends in Hong Kong telling me whatever they manage to find about the event.
One of the most interesting link I got was this blog: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/jw!KI.IoK2fEQX5pUL35.Xm7hycAA–/article?mid=2550
Which contained this picture:
OMG! A Giant Hello Kitty in Black!!!
Although Black was never my color of choice, but I do like any Hello Kitty bigger than my son hahaha
The guy said he found this at work, but I can’t quite figure out where he works from his blog, maybe he works for McDonalds? or maybe at a local magazine in the fashion group? But in any case, I am jealous! I wish I have something like this standing at work/at home : )
Thanks Pink for sharing!

Lately I notice that a lot of Hello Kitty fans are moms, just like myself, so I went out and did a search for some mom and baby friendly Hello Kitty items, maybe some of you will find it helpful!
The first thing I like to introduce is this Hello Kitty Nursing Pillow in a big U shape:
It can be used whether you are breastfeeding or bottle feeding, and by having your child raised from your lap, you are saving your back from a lot of unnecessary stress:
Thinking that it’s way too cumbersome and I don’t really need one beyond the first few months, I gave my (non-Hello Kitty) breastfeeding pillow to a friend. A little regardful about that decision as my back does hurt a bit from having to carry Mr. Ethan for milk these days (which happens about 3x a day). Argh~

A mini Automatic Teller Machine featuring Hello Kitty’s face that you can keep money around the house for emergency use:

It is actually a piggy bank and it comes in three different shades … will be even better if someone can fill it up with money for me (hahaha)

More Hello Kitty Black Wonder by Silly Thing is released via Think-Silly.com’s blog, and this time - I can say a WOW!
The theme for the two new items is Hello Kitty’s ribbon, only in black, and, it was designed for Men, yes! Men!
They include a tailored jacket, and a button up shirt - both very tastefully decorated, although I am not sure who is really going to wear them - I guess it was meant as a collectible more than anything?
The front of the jacket:

The back of the jacket with a hidden face of Hello Kitty:
And the buttoned shirt complete with a "Hello Kitty bow tie":

This is much more like what I would expect from these guys! : ) Good work!

The RoboMop I mentioned before might not work for everybody - especially those with two stories houses (the RoboMop can’t climb stairs!) but this compact sized Hello Kitty vacuum is going to work well anywhere:

It’s ultra light weight and can stand upright on its own - perfect for those living in a condo or for a quick cleanup at a bigger house!

Love it Love it : )
