San-x April 2014 wallpaper - Mofutanzu!

Mofutans, Mogutans or Mofutanzu is a new character from San-x. Despite looking a bit like Sanrio's Cinnamoroll he's actually a lop rabbit. So cute!

Sanrio Character Cushions

Sanrio released a line of character cushions not too long ago. Each cushion is $48.00 and is about 20" wide by 5" deep. (Height varies based on characters ears!) I love soft, squishy cushions like this.

See the rest of the collection after the break.

Krispy Kreme Japan Easter donuts

Krispy Kreme always seems to release much cuter donuts in Japan than it does in the US. I suppose of most things in Japan though...

These are available tomorrow! (If you're in Japan.) More info after the break.

March 2014 San-x wallpaper Rilakkuma shima shima everyday series

I was working on a post for the whole shima shima everday (stripe stripe everyday) series but it was taking so long that I thought I should put up the wallpaper before March was over!

In the meantime you can watch this cute little video from San-x promoting the shima shima everyday series.

Nyan Nyan Nyanko Nyankoburger wallpaper

Can you guess what's celebrating it's ten year anniversery this month? Nyankoburger! I can't believe it's that old. I can't believe I'm that old that I've been a San-x fan for ten+ years.

The San-x style has certainly changed hasn't it? The old San-x has the appeal of nostalgia but I think I like the new, more polished, style better. 

Enjoy a cute Nyan Nyan Nyanko wallpaper from back when wallpapers were tiny.

Hello Kitty Bento collection

The entire Hello Kitty bento collection from last spring. Lots of pictures.

This is an old post that I had sitting waiting to be edited before the blog's hiatus. I thought I might as well post it even if it is really old. It was one of my favorite Hello Kitty collections. Hello Kitty + sushi = adorable for sure.

Enjoy the photos!

Kutsushita Nyanko Natural Music Wallpaper (Feruary 2014) + new product line

Sanrio President's Day Sale! + Free Hello Kitty ice cream plush

Sanrio is having a site wide 20% sale for president's day! Use the code PREZ20 to get 20% off your entire order. Unfortunately, all this did for me was cancel out the price of shipping on the Cinnamoroll kirigumi I wanted so I decided to put off buying it for another time when there was a free shipping code.

Even if you miss the President's Day sale you can still pick up this cute 5" plush for free. Just use the code "SWEET" at checkout.

Codes are NOT stackable.

Forever Friends heart hug free cross-stitch

A Forever Friends cross-stitch perfect for Valentine's Day! Or, really, any time of year. Cute teddy bears with hearts are sort of a holiday independent motif.

Don't Forget the Donuts narwhal illustration

You know, this blog is sorely lacking in narwhals. About time I remedied that.

This narwhal print is one of many from illustrator Noosed Kitty. I chose this one to feature because I have a ridiculous sweet tooth and anything with sweets in it automatically catches my attention. There are plenty of other strangely sweet prints from her(?) Etsy shop. Also check out the Noosed Kitty blog here.

Rice Krispie treat ice cream cones for Valentine's Day

So this is another one of those rules of cute. Food that looks like other cute food is automatically cuter than cute food that just looks like itself. Which is why ice cream cone Rice Krispie treats are extra cute! I'm curious, though, how the Rice Krispies ended up so pink. The blog that featured these didn't mention in the post. Ample amounts of food dye in with the marshmallows? That would seem to make sense.

I'm honestly not sure if these would taste good as Rice Krispie treats + ice cream cones seem a bit too similar in texture to work well together. I'm still tempted to try making them.

Cow muff + hello for the first time in months

Hello all, it's been a while, hasn't it? I was busy, distracted and didn't have internet at home for the better part of last year. I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue with this blog as I'm getting on in my twenties and thought maybe I'd outgrown my love of cute things. While to a certain extent that's been true (Hello Kitty doesn't quite hold the charm she used to) I do still find cute, round things to be comforting. I figured that in and of itself made me want to continue this blog.

I was surprised that the blog continued to attract a decent amount of traffic even when I hadn't updated for months. It's nice to know there are lots of other cute fans out there too!

Anyway, today we have plush cow handwarmer/muff type thing. Strange, yet still cute. Unfortunately, I only found it on dhgate where one has to spend near $1000 usd for multiple cases of the things. I think if I feel the need to forgo mittens for a cow muff I'll have to make one myself.
