I love the irony of a lucky cat “piggy” bank. This makes for an adorable gift or a lovely decorative piece for your home. The maneki-neko, or “beckoning cat”, is a common Japanese figurine which is often believed to bring good luck to the owner. There are various origins of the maneki-neko but it is recognized worldwide as a symbol of good fortune and is a popular accessory both in the home and the workplace.
One of my favourite things to do is a good DIY! This DIY Windmill Music Box is a quality lego alternative. This music box combines all the fun of brick building with the charm of an old Japanese windmill. My younger sister put this one together in about 3 hours! It’s loads of fun and makes for a lovely keepsake that has more meaning behind it. Give it as a special gift or keep it as a nice gift to yourself!
Build up your sock game with these adorable Sanrio character socks! They’re made in Korea and feature Sanrio’s most beloved characters – Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pompompurin, Cinnamoroll and more! We can start a petition for more Chococat merch later, these are a must have!
An affordable yet super cute board game based on one of the cutest games out there! This one’s going to be a fan favourite and for such a great price, under $25! I don’t play Animal Crossing as often as I have in the past but I still hold it dear to my heart. This Monopoly game is a sweet throwback to the Nintendo Switch game I’d spend hours playing each day.
Hello Kitty and Friends Monopoly
This one is a bit more pricey, but I promise you it is worth every penny for a Sanrio fanatic! I’d consider it a collectible item as it has custom pieces, money and game board. I believe this is the second Hello Kitty Monopoly to hit the stores and it has some fun new upgrades such as Hello Kitty’s friends as character pieces. I love this game and it has become such a staple to play at my house. It combines my favourite business concepts game with the lovable Sanrio characters, who could ask for more!?
Jade Leaf Matcha is the best matcha brand available on Amazon, in my opinion. I have this product on “Subscribe and Save” for every two months, it’s that good! Their Japanese matcha powder is super affordable and really good quality for its price. It already comes lightly sweetened but I occasionally add honey to my lattes for extra sweetness. I definitely recommend this product and brand for your everyday matcha powder!
I love this product so much! I found it while casually searching for a device that’s both a wall plug and a power bank, to see if something like that even exists… It does! This device is great for travelling and everyday use. It comes with a short usb-c, lightning and micro usb charger built-in so you don’t need to worry about forgetting your cables for your Apple or Android devices. It also has a usb charger for you to plug in your full cables like a power bank. Gone are the days of being stranded with no battery!
