Kitty Sightings at Kohl’s and Ross

October 7th, 2008

Kohl’s recently opened up a new store right by my place, which is both a good and a bad thing. After Letti sent me some pics on her phone of a Hello Kitty Butterfly Doll Pillow, I decided to stroll through the store to check out the deals… Spotted some Hello Kitty ornaments, I especially like this one…

I went to Ross in Burbank with Joy over the weekend, which to my surprise, carries more Hello Kitty stuff than the one closest to my house! I saw this Hello Kitty Light Up Dream House for $9.99 USD… I held onto it but decided I did not NEED it! Even if it does light up…

I thought this was pretty cute too… And a couple bucks cheaper…

In the end, I took home this Hello Kitty Candy Store priced at $7.99 USD and a small plastic plate and cup set for $2.99 USD (not pictured)! I will take photos and post later! ^_^

My Favorite Sanrio Shop…

September 27th, 2008

Maybe not my absolute favorite, since I want to go to Japan one day (sooner than later)… But for now, I do not have any problems calling the Sanrio inside the South Coast Plaza my favorite Sanrio shop in the SoCal area. Go there once and you are very likely to fall in love with that particular shop for a few reasons…

I simply went in there to get something for JamyKitty (my November swap partner on Flickr’s Hello Kitty Addicts)… And then I came across the Panda Kitty bobble head… Which I am happy to say is added to My Kitty Bobble Crew.

And I saw this and picked it up immediately! I love pandas because they are just too cute not to love. And one time, when I was in college, this cute boy told me I reminded him of a panda!

And since Halloween is coming around the corner… Why not?

They carry a lot of different lines — I saw a section of all Japanese imported goodies, there is a case filled with Tarina Tarantino jewelry, you can order Hello Kitty furniture (yeah, I did not know this was available in the states!), I spotted some rare Momoberry pieces, all the new exclusive stuff on Sanrio’s site (some stores carry a few things from the new lines), there are clothing and shoes… They were just very well stocked with a large variety of merch! That is good because you have choices! And bad because you end up spending more money than you initially anticipated. Well… I controlled a lot of self control… I do not plan on going back to this Sanrio until I know I can spend a lot of cash! It is just way too tempting! ^_^

Hello Kitty Goodies From The PI Part 4

September 26th, 2008

I like toys… Sometimes, too much! I still have friends who do not understand how and why. I really like the miniature stuff too! Like this Hello Kitty mini fridge that I got:

When you push one of the buttons on the fridge door, the lights flash and a tune plays…

I love all the kawaii details…

Back detail of the packaging:

More toys… One would think I am seven years old by the products I pick out… Or maybe that I was shopping for a niece. Nope, it is really for me — and I am not seven. I do not like to lie and tell people the toys are for someone else either, which gets a little bit embarrassing at times… But what can I do? I have to be true to myself, right?

Opening the boxes and putting together the stickers on the objects is going to be such a blast! ^_^

I saw this first, which is why I got it. If I saw more of the Hello Kitty toys, I would have probably scored another Hello Kitty one instead of this My Melody and Kuromi toy (sad to say but true).

Now for the irony:  I do not plan on playing with these toys. They will eventually come out of there packages, be stickered up and photographed… And then be put on a shelf somewhere as decoration, or worse, right back into the boxes.

Gift Gate at Greenhills

September 17th, 2008

Other sightings from yet another Gift Gate… This time, I had Marky (one of Brian’s younger brothers — my age) helping me decide which items to get. There was this one Hello Kitty kewpie doll I REALLY wanted — it was even in my shopping basket… I don’t think I decided NOT to get it… But that’s what he said. And my bad — because I didn’t even take a picture of it! It looks like the My Melody and Keroppi kewpie dolls, except for the kewpie doll is dressed like Kitty-chan… I was actually kind of bummed…

Until I take photos of the Hello Kitty things I bought… And finish up the September wallpaper (which Molly reminded me… I know, I know)… Some eye candy I wanted to share:
