Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":201666,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_date_gmt":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_content":"

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":201666,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_date_gmt":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_content":"

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":201666,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_date_gmt":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_content":"

It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":201666,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_date_gmt":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_content":"

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month.

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":201666,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_date_gmt":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_content":"

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more.

Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble.

There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks.

Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags.

To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure.

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month.

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":201666,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_date_gmt":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_content":"

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":201666,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_date_gmt":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_content":"

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":201666,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_date_gmt":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_content":"

Our sixth and final item is the Animal Crossing Choco egg, much like a Kinder Egg it comes with a small toy inside encased in a chocolate shell. This item has been hopping off the shelves in Japanese convenience stores, as the franchise has had a massive following this year when the game came out during the first lockdown. With 18 characters to collect, you will be at it for a while to complete your collection. I want to ask you readers though, how much would you pay for this in a shop or even to import it from Japan? As I have seen footage from stores in Japan that sell it for 250Yen, which is about \u20ac2.50. Then I have come across sites that sell Japanese snacks and crates, that sell a single one for $10.00! Which is an obscene price to pay in my opinion! Just how much are devoted fans of Animal Crossing willing to pay for a single egg? Now I have eaten the chocolate and although it appears similar to a Kinder Egg, the chocolate itself is much similar to a very cheap Advent Calendar chocolate. Very cheap tasting and something I wouldn't be in a rush to buy again, however much like Kinder Eggs - its all about the surprise toy inside.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Our next product on the practical side is a body sponge from Sumikko Gurashi. Now I really liked the last set of sponges we got a few months back, that were also from Sumikko Gurashi. This one however is larger, looks perfect for lathering up your soap and will be needed to scrub away the negative effects that 2020 has left on all of us! This item is also available in four characters, including Shirokuma, Neko, Penguin and Tokage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our sixth and final item is the Animal Crossing Choco egg, much like a Kinder Egg it comes with a small toy inside encased in a chocolate shell. This item has been hopping off the shelves in Japanese convenience stores, as the franchise has had a massive following this year when the game came out during the first lockdown. With 18 characters to collect, you will be at it for a while to complete your collection. I want to ask you readers though, how much would you pay for this in a shop or even to import it from Japan? As I have seen footage from stores in Japan that sell it for 250Yen, which is about \u20ac2.50. Then I have come across sites that sell Japanese snacks and crates, that sell a single one for $10.00! Which is an obscene price to pay in my opinion! Just how much are devoted fans of Animal Crossing willing to pay for a single egg? Now I have eaten the chocolate and although it appears similar to a Kinder Egg, the chocolate itself is much similar to a very cheap Advent Calendar chocolate. Very cheap tasting and something I wouldn't be in a rush to buy again, however much like Kinder Eggs - its all about the surprise toy inside.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month.

Our next Sanrio product is a pack of eco-friendly paper straws. Which I am sure will come in very handy during the holiday season if you have guests coming over. With 30 straws inside, with two different color variations they are almost too cute to even use! We are now onto our Kirby item, which is a location exclusive Lip Cream which is available in two versions, being either Tokyo or Mount Fuji. The overall packaging is adorable and fully recyclable, however once you flip the front around you will notice how small the product actually is. Its all about the appearance for this lip cream, and it will definitely stand out in the shop.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_6\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next product on the practical side is a body sponge from Sumikko Gurashi. Now I really liked the last set of sponges we got a few months back, that were also from Sumikko Gurashi. This one however is larger, looks perfect for lathering up your soap and will be needed to scrub away the negative effects that 2020 has left on all of us! This item is also available in four characters, including Shirokuma, Neko, Penguin and Tokage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our sixth and final item is the Animal Crossing Choco egg, much like a Kinder Egg it comes with a small toy inside encased in a chocolate shell. This item has been hopping off the shelves in Japanese convenience stores, as the franchise has had a massive following this year when the game came out during the first lockdown. With 18 characters to collect, you will be at it for a while to complete your collection. I want to ask you readers though, how much would you pay for this in a shop or even to import it from Japan? As I have seen footage from stores in Japan that sell it for 250Yen, which is about \u20ac2.50. Then I have come across sites that sell Japanese snacks and crates, that sell a single one for $10.00! Which is an obscene price to pay in my opinion! Just how much are devoted fans of Animal Crossing willing to pay for a single egg? Now I have eaten the chocolate and although it appears similar to a Kinder Egg, the chocolate itself is much similar to a very cheap Advent Calendar chocolate. Very cheap tasting and something I wouldn't be in a rush to buy again, however much like Kinder Eggs - its all about the surprise toy inside.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_7\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
And there we have it folks, the final SoKawaii box of 2020! So if you want to know how to get your own subscription, then continue on reading! There\u2019s even a discount code in there.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
So here is the price breakdown of the box each month and the savings you can get. At the moment, SoKawaii are shipping their boxes via DHL as Japan Post is still not allowing worldwide postage from Japan. Whether you subscribe month to month, or for their 3, 6 or even 12 month package options \u2013 there are savings to be had.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":201666,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_date_gmt":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_content":"

Our second product this month is also the previously announced Sanrio Christmas Blanket. This super fluffy lap blanket measures in at 70x100cm and features many Sanrio mascots including Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pochacco and more. Unfortunately I saw no sign of Kuromi, which was a bit of a bummer. It is an incredibly festive blanket though, going by the symbols I see on the tag this blanket is hand wash only so make sure you don't put it in the washing machine. Although I don't see why you couldn't just have it on a cold wash, its best not to tempt faith as I would hate to see this blanket get destroyed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":201666,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_date_gmt":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_content":"

\n
Our first product this month was the already announced Christmas Ball Cushion from Sanrio. This squishable festive plush is available in two characters - Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin. Of which I got the adorable Golden Retriever mascot. These official mascots are well made and stuffed, with stretchy material that always returns to its original shape. The only thing I noticed was that the Christmas hat on my plush was barely stitched on in two places, but if you are handy with a needle and thread - its\u2019 a simple repair job. It\u2019s a perfect addition to any Christmas decor and will be well loved in my home for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_2\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_3\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our second product this month is also the previously announced Sanrio Christmas Blanket. This super fluffy lap blanket measures in at 70x100cm and features many Sanrio mascots including Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pochacco and more. Unfortunately I saw no sign of Kuromi, which was a bit of a bummer. It is an incredibly festive blanket though, going by the symbols I see on the tag this blanket is hand wash only so make sure you don't put it in the washing machine. Although I don't see why you couldn't just have it on a cold wash, its best not to tempt faith as I would hate to see this blanket get destroyed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_4\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_5\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next Sanrio product is a pack of eco-friendly paper straws. Which I am sure will come in very handy during the holiday season if you have guests coming over. With 30 straws inside, with two different color variations they are almost too cute to even use! We are now onto our Kirby item, which is a location exclusive Lip Cream which is available in two versions, being either Tokyo or Mount Fuji. The overall packaging is adorable and fully recyclable, however once you flip the front around you will notice how small the product actually is. Its all about the appearance for this lip cream, and it will definitely stand out in the shop.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_6\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next product on the practical side is a body sponge from Sumikko Gurashi. Now I really liked the last set of sponges we got a few months back, that were also from Sumikko Gurashi. This one however is larger, looks perfect for lathering up your soap and will be needed to scrub away the negative effects that 2020 has left on all of us! This item is also available in four characters, including Shirokuma, Neko, Penguin and Tokage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our sixth and final item is the Animal Crossing Choco egg, much like a Kinder Egg it comes with a small toy inside encased in a chocolate shell. This item has been hopping off the shelves in Japanese convenience stores, as the franchise has had a massive following this year when the game came out during the first lockdown. With 18 characters to collect, you will be at it for a while to complete your collection. I want to ask you readers though, how much would you pay for this in a shop or even to import it from Japan? As I have seen footage from stores in Japan that sell it for 250Yen, which is about \u20ac2.50. Then I have come across sites that sell Japanese snacks and crates, that sell a single one for $10.00! Which is an obscene price to pay in my opinion! Just how much are devoted fans of Animal Crossing willing to pay for a single egg? Now I have eaten the chocolate and although it appears similar to a Kinder Egg, the chocolate itself is much similar to a very cheap Advent Calendar chocolate. Very cheap tasting and something I wouldn't be in a rush to buy again, however much like Kinder Eggs - its all about the surprise toy inside.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_7\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
And there we have it folks, the final SoKawaii box of 2020! So if you want to know how to get your own subscription, then continue on reading! There\u2019s even a discount code in there.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
So here is the price breakdown of the box each month and the savings you can get. At the moment, SoKawaii are shipping their boxes via DHL as Japan Post is still not allowing worldwide postage from Japan. Whether you subscribe month to month, or for their 3, 6 or even 12 month package options \u2013 there are savings to be had.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nhttp:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Better yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s box, rest assured that the items are different every month, for the most part. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through SoKawaiis\u2019 social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cCheers To A Kawaii Year\u201d, which will feature goods from Animal Crossing, Sanrio and Sailor Moon, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media. I want to thank each and everyone of you for following my content this year and I hope you enjoyed it! I want to wish you all a very happy Christmas and I will be back again next month for the first SoKawaii box of 2021!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (the Japanese word for cute). They create monthly subscription boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from brands such as Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio, Studio Ghibli and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive to Japan, pack them up in a very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently trending in Japanese arcades and stores. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. They also listen to what you would like to be included in future boxes, by asking across their social media. So make sure to have your opinions heard over on their social media posts. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_1\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our first product this month was the already announced Christmas Ball Cushion from Sanrio. This squishable festive plush is available in two characters - Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin. Of which I got the adorable Golden Retriever mascot. These official mascots are well made and stuffed, with stretchy material that always returns to its original shape. The only thing I noticed was that the Christmas hat on my plush was barely stitched on in two places, but if you are handy with a needle and thread - its\u2019 a simple repair job. It\u2019s a perfect addition to any Christmas decor and will be well loved in my home for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_2\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_3\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our second product this month is also the previously announced Sanrio Christmas Blanket. This super fluffy lap blanket measures in at 70x100cm and features many Sanrio mascots including Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pochacco and more. Unfortunately I saw no sign of Kuromi, which was a bit of a bummer. It is an incredibly festive blanket though, going by the symbols I see on the tag this blanket is hand wash only so make sure you don't put it in the washing machine. Although I don't see why you couldn't just have it on a cold wash, its best not to tempt faith as I would hate to see this blanket get destroyed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_4\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_5\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next Sanrio product is a pack of eco-friendly paper straws. Which I am sure will come in very handy during the holiday season if you have guests coming over. With 30 straws inside, with two different color variations they are almost too cute to even use! We are now onto our Kirby item, which is a location exclusive Lip Cream which is available in two versions, being either Tokyo or Mount Fuji. The overall packaging is adorable and fully recyclable, however once you flip the front around you will notice how small the product actually is. Its all about the appearance for this lip cream, and it will definitely stand out in the shop.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_6\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next product on the practical side is a body sponge from Sumikko Gurashi. Now I really liked the last set of sponges we got a few months back, that were also from Sumikko Gurashi. This one however is larger, looks perfect for lathering up your soap and will be needed to scrub away the negative effects that 2020 has left on all of us! This item is also available in four characters, including Shirokuma, Neko, Penguin and Tokage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our sixth and final item is the Animal Crossing Choco egg, much like a Kinder Egg it comes with a small toy inside encased in a chocolate shell. This item has been hopping off the shelves in Japanese convenience stores, as the franchise has had a massive following this year when the game came out during the first lockdown. With 18 characters to collect, you will be at it for a while to complete your collection. I want to ask you readers though, how much would you pay for this in a shop or even to import it from Japan? As I have seen footage from stores in Japan that sell it for 250Yen, which is about \u20ac2.50. Then I have come across sites that sell Japanese snacks and crates, that sell a single one for $10.00! Which is an obscene price to pay in my opinion! Just how much are devoted fans of Animal Crossing willing to pay for a single egg? Now I have eaten the chocolate and although it appears similar to a Kinder Egg, the chocolate itself is much similar to a very cheap Advent Calendar chocolate. Very cheap tasting and something I wouldn't be in a rush to buy again, however much like Kinder Eggs - its all about the surprise toy inside.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_7\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
And there we have it folks, the final SoKawaii box of 2020! So if you want to know how to get your own subscription, then continue on reading! There\u2019s even a discount code in there.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
So here is the price breakdown of the box each month and the savings you can get. At the moment, SoKawaii are shipping their boxes via DHL as Japan Post is still not allowing worldwide postage from Japan. Whether you subscribe month to month, or for their 3, 6 or even 12 month package options \u2013 there are savings to be had.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nhttp:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Better yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s box, rest assured that the items are different every month, for the most part. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through SoKawaiis\u2019 social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cCheers To A Kawaii Year\u201d, which will feature goods from Animal Crossing, Sanrio and Sailor Moon, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media. I want to thank each and everyone of you for following my content this year and I hope you enjoyed it! I want to wish you all a very happy Christmas and I will be back again next month for the first SoKawaii box of 2021!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month.

This month\u2019s theme was \u2018Kawaii Christmas Party\u2019, which contained six items from both Sanrio, Animal Crossing, Kirby and Sumikko Gurashi. Two of which are filled with festive cheer, another three were practical and the last was a very popular Animal Crossing item in every combini in Japan. So let\u2019s get the usual info out of the way, of just how you can get your own box and subscription from SoKawaii! This box also marks SoKawaii\u2019s second anniversary!! So massive congratulations to all their dedicated team.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (the Japanese word for cute). They create monthly subscription boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from brands such as Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio, Studio Ghibli and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive to Japan, pack them up in a very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently trending in Japanese arcades and stores. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. They also listen to what you would like to be included in future boxes, by asking across their social media. So make sure to have your opinions heard over on their social media posts. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_1\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our first product this month was the already announced Christmas Ball Cushion from Sanrio. This squishable festive plush is available in two characters - Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin. Of which I got the adorable Golden Retriever mascot. These official mascots are well made and stuffed, with stretchy material that always returns to its original shape. The only thing I noticed was that the Christmas hat on my plush was barely stitched on in two places, but if you are handy with a needle and thread - its\u2019 a simple repair job. It\u2019s a perfect addition to any Christmas decor and will be well loved in my home for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_2\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_3\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our second product this month is also the previously announced Sanrio Christmas Blanket. This super fluffy lap blanket measures in at 70x100cm and features many Sanrio mascots including Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pochacco and more. Unfortunately I saw no sign of Kuromi, which was a bit of a bummer. It is an incredibly festive blanket though, going by the symbols I see on the tag this blanket is hand wash only so make sure you don't put it in the washing machine. Although I don't see why you couldn't just have it on a cold wash, its best not to tempt faith as I would hate to see this blanket get destroyed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_4\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_5\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next Sanrio product is a pack of eco-friendly paper straws. Which I am sure will come in very handy during the holiday season if you have guests coming over. With 30 straws inside, with two different color variations they are almost too cute to even use! We are now onto our Kirby item, which is a location exclusive Lip Cream which is available in two versions, being either Tokyo or Mount Fuji. The overall packaging is adorable and fully recyclable, however once you flip the front around you will notice how small the product actually is. Its all about the appearance for this lip cream, and it will definitely stand out in the shop.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_6\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next product on the practical side is a body sponge from Sumikko Gurashi. Now I really liked the last set of sponges we got a few months back, that were also from Sumikko Gurashi. This one however is larger, looks perfect for lathering up your soap and will be needed to scrub away the negative effects that 2020 has left on all of us! This item is also available in four characters, including Shirokuma, Neko, Penguin and Tokage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our sixth and final item is the Animal Crossing Choco egg, much like a Kinder Egg it comes with a small toy inside encased in a chocolate shell. This item has been hopping off the shelves in Japanese convenience stores, as the franchise has had a massive following this year when the game came out during the first lockdown. With 18 characters to collect, you will be at it for a while to complete your collection. I want to ask you readers though, how much would you pay for this in a shop or even to import it from Japan? As I have seen footage from stores in Japan that sell it for 250Yen, which is about \u20ac2.50. Then I have come across sites that sell Japanese snacks and crates, that sell a single one for $10.00! Which is an obscene price to pay in my opinion! Just how much are devoted fans of Animal Crossing willing to pay for a single egg? Now I have eaten the chocolate and although it appears similar to a Kinder Egg, the chocolate itself is much similar to a very cheap Advent Calendar chocolate. Very cheap tasting and something I wouldn't be in a rush to buy again, however much like Kinder Eggs - its all about the surprise toy inside.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_7\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
And there we have it folks, the final SoKawaii box of 2020! So if you want to know how to get your own subscription, then continue on reading! There\u2019s even a discount code in there.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
So here is the price breakdown of the box each month and the savings you can get. At the moment, SoKawaii are shipping their boxes via DHL as Japan Post is still not allowing worldwide postage from Japan. Whether you subscribe month to month, or for their 3, 6 or even 12 month package options \u2013 there are savings to be had.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nhttp:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Better yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s box, rest assured that the items are different every month, for the most part. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through SoKawaiis\u2019 social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cCheers To A Kawaii Year\u201d, which will feature goods from Animal Crossing, Sanrio and Sailor Moon, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media. I want to thank each and everyone of you for following my content this year and I hope you enjoyed it! I want to wish you all a very happy Christmas and I will be back again next month for the first SoKawaii box of 2021!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":201666,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_date_gmt":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_content":"

\n
Hello again my dears, the festive season is upon us once more and this month's box is like an early Christmas present to myself. We are now in the final month of what has been a chaotic 2020, a year like no other that had surprises around every corner whether we liked them or not! So in order to finish off this year, let\u2019s dive into the final SoKawaii subscription box of 2020!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
This month\u2019s theme was \u2018Kawaii Christmas Party\u2019, which contained six items from both Sanrio, Animal Crossing, Kirby and Sumikko Gurashi. Two of which are filled with festive cheer, another three were practical and the last was a very popular Animal Crossing item in every combini in Japan. So let\u2019s get the usual info out of the way, of just how you can get your own box and subscription from SoKawaii! This box also marks SoKawaii\u2019s second anniversary!! So massive congratulations to all their dedicated team.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (the Japanese word for cute). They create monthly subscription boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from brands such as Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio, Studio Ghibli and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive to Japan, pack them up in a very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently trending in Japanese arcades and stores. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. They also listen to what you would like to be included in future boxes, by asking across their social media. So make sure to have your opinions heard over on their social media posts. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_1\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our first product this month was the already announced Christmas Ball Cushion from Sanrio. This squishable festive plush is available in two characters - Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin. Of which I got the adorable Golden Retriever mascot. These official mascots are well made and stuffed, with stretchy material that always returns to its original shape. The only thing I noticed was that the Christmas hat on my plush was barely stitched on in two places, but if you are handy with a needle and thread - its\u2019 a simple repair job. It\u2019s a perfect addition to any Christmas decor and will be well loved in my home for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_2\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_3\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our second product this month is also the previously announced Sanrio Christmas Blanket. This super fluffy lap blanket measures in at 70x100cm and features many Sanrio mascots including Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pochacco and more. Unfortunately I saw no sign of Kuromi, which was a bit of a bummer. It is an incredibly festive blanket though, going by the symbols I see on the tag this blanket is hand wash only so make sure you don't put it in the washing machine. Although I don't see why you couldn't just have it on a cold wash, its best not to tempt faith as I would hate to see this blanket get destroyed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_4\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_5\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next Sanrio product is a pack of eco-friendly paper straws. Which I am sure will come in very handy during the holiday season if you have guests coming over. With 30 straws inside, with two different color variations they are almost too cute to even use! We are now onto our Kirby item, which is a location exclusive Lip Cream which is available in two versions, being either Tokyo or Mount Fuji. The overall packaging is adorable and fully recyclable, however once you flip the front around you will notice how small the product actually is. Its all about the appearance for this lip cream, and it will definitely stand out in the shop.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_6\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next product on the practical side is a body sponge from Sumikko Gurashi. Now I really liked the last set of sponges we got a few months back, that were also from Sumikko Gurashi. This one however is larger, looks perfect for lathering up your soap and will be needed to scrub away the negative effects that 2020 has left on all of us! This item is also available in four characters, including Shirokuma, Neko, Penguin and Tokage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our sixth and final item is the Animal Crossing Choco egg, much like a Kinder Egg it comes with a small toy inside encased in a chocolate shell. This item has been hopping off the shelves in Japanese convenience stores, as the franchise has had a massive following this year when the game came out during the first lockdown. With 18 characters to collect, you will be at it for a while to complete your collection. I want to ask you readers though, how much would you pay for this in a shop or even to import it from Japan? As I have seen footage from stores in Japan that sell it for 250Yen, which is about \u20ac2.50. Then I have come across sites that sell Japanese snacks and crates, that sell a single one for $10.00! Which is an obscene price to pay in my opinion! Just how much are devoted fans of Animal Crossing willing to pay for a single egg? Now I have eaten the chocolate and although it appears similar to a Kinder Egg, the chocolate itself is much similar to a very cheap Advent Calendar chocolate. Very cheap tasting and something I wouldn't be in a rush to buy again, however much like Kinder Eggs - its all about the surprise toy inside.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_7\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
And there we have it folks, the final SoKawaii box of 2020! So if you want to know how to get your own subscription, then continue on reading! There\u2019s even a discount code in there.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
So here is the price breakdown of the box each month and the savings you can get. At the moment, SoKawaii are shipping their boxes via DHL as Japan Post is still not allowing worldwide postage from Japan. Whether you subscribe month to month, or for their 3, 6 or even 12 month package options \u2013 there are savings to be had.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nhttp:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Better yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s box, rest assured that the items are different every month, for the most part. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through SoKawaiis\u2019 social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cCheers To A Kawaii Year\u201d, which will feature goods from Animal Crossing, Sanrio and Sailor Moon, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media. I want to thank each and everyone of you for following my content this year and I hope you enjoyed it! I want to wish you all a very happy Christmas and I will be back again next month for the first SoKawaii box of 2021!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":201666,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_date_gmt":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_content":"

Kawaii Christmas Party<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, with every parcel that arrives!!!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
Hello again my dears, the festive season is upon us once more and this month's box is like an early Christmas present to myself. We are now in the final month of what has been a chaotic 2020, a year like no other that had surprises around every corner whether we liked them or not! So in order to finish off this year, let\u2019s dive into the final SoKawaii subscription box of 2020!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
This month\u2019s theme was \u2018Kawaii Christmas Party\u2019, which contained six items from both Sanrio, Animal Crossing, Kirby and Sumikko Gurashi. Two of which are filled with festive cheer, another three were practical and the last was a very popular Animal Crossing item in every combini in Japan. So let\u2019s get the usual info out of the way, of just how you can get your own box and subscription from SoKawaii! This box also marks SoKawaii\u2019s second anniversary!! So massive congratulations to all their dedicated team.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (the Japanese word for cute). They create monthly subscription boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from brands such as Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio, Studio Ghibli and more.

The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive to Japan, pack them up in a very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently trending in Japanese arcades and stores. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. They also listen to what you would like to be included in future boxes, by asking across their social media. So make sure to have your opinions heard over on their social media posts. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_1\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our first product this month was the already announced Christmas Ball Cushion from Sanrio. This squishable festive plush is available in two characters - Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin. Of which I got the adorable Golden Retriever mascot. These official mascots are well made and stuffed, with stretchy material that always returns to its original shape. The only thing I noticed was that the Christmas hat on my plush was barely stitched on in two places, but if you are handy with a needle and thread - its\u2019 a simple repair job. It\u2019s a perfect addition to any Christmas decor and will be well loved in my home for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_2\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_3\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our second product this month is also the previously announced Sanrio Christmas Blanket. This super fluffy lap blanket measures in at 70x100cm and features many Sanrio mascots including Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pochacco and more. Unfortunately I saw no sign of Kuromi, which was a bit of a bummer. It is an incredibly festive blanket though, going by the symbols I see on the tag this blanket is hand wash only so make sure you don't put it in the washing machine. Although I don't see why you couldn't just have it on a cold wash, its best not to tempt faith as I would hate to see this blanket get destroyed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_4\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_5\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next Sanrio product is a pack of eco-friendly paper straws. Which I am sure will come in very handy during the holiday season if you have guests coming over. With 30 straws inside, with two different color variations they are almost too cute to even use! We are now onto our Kirby item, which is a location exclusive Lip Cream which is available in two versions, being either Tokyo or Mount Fuji. The overall packaging is adorable and fully recyclable, however once you flip the front around you will notice how small the product actually is. Its all about the appearance for this lip cream, and it will definitely stand out in the shop.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_6\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next product on the practical side is a body sponge from Sumikko Gurashi. Now I really liked the last set of sponges we got a few months back, that were also from Sumikko Gurashi. This one however is larger, looks perfect for lathering up your soap and will be needed to scrub away the negative effects that 2020 has left on all of us! This item is also available in four characters, including Shirokuma, Neko, Penguin and Tokage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our sixth and final item is the Animal Crossing Choco egg, much like a Kinder Egg it comes with a small toy inside encased in a chocolate shell. This item has been hopping off the shelves in Japanese convenience stores, as the franchise has had a massive following this year when the game came out during the first lockdown. With 18 characters to collect, you will be at it for a while to complete your collection. I want to ask you readers though, how much would you pay for this in a shop or even to import it from Japan? As I have seen footage from stores in Japan that sell it for 250Yen, which is about \u20ac2.50. Then I have come across sites that sell Japanese snacks and crates, that sell a single one for $10.00! Which is an obscene price to pay in my opinion! Just how much are devoted fans of Animal Crossing willing to pay for a single egg? Now I have eaten the chocolate and although it appears similar to a Kinder Egg, the chocolate itself is much similar to a very cheap Advent Calendar chocolate. Very cheap tasting and something I wouldn't be in a rush to buy again, however much like Kinder Eggs - its all about the surprise toy inside.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_7\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
And there we have it folks, the final SoKawaii box of 2020! So if you want to know how to get your own subscription, then continue on reading! There\u2019s even a discount code in there.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
So here is the price breakdown of the box each month and the savings you can get. At the moment, SoKawaii are shipping their boxes via DHL as Japan Post is still not allowing worldwide postage from Japan. Whether you subscribe month to month, or for their 3, 6 or even 12 month package options \u2013 there are savings to be had.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s box, rest assured that the items are different every month, for the most part. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through SoKawaiis\u2019 social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cCheers To A Kawaii Year\u201d, which will feature goods from Animal Crossing, Sanrio and Sailor Moon, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media. I want to thank each and everyone of you for following my content this year and I hope you enjoyed it! I want to wish you all a very happy Christmas and I will be back again next month for the first SoKawaii box of 2021!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":201666,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_date_gmt":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_content":"

Kawaii Christmas Party<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, with every parcel that arrives!!!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
Hello again my dears, the festive season is upon us once more and this month's box is like an early Christmas present to myself. We are now in the final month of what has been a chaotic 2020, a year like no other that had surprises around every corner whether we liked them or not! So in order to finish off this year, let\u2019s dive into the final SoKawaii subscription box of 2020!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
This month\u2019s theme was \u2018Kawaii Christmas Party\u2019, which contained six items from both Sanrio, Animal Crossing, Kirby and Sumikko Gurashi. Two of which are filled with festive cheer, another three were practical and the last was a very popular Animal Crossing item in every combini in Japan. So let\u2019s get the usual info out of the way, of just how you can get your own box and subscription from SoKawaii! This box also marks SoKawaii\u2019s second anniversary!! So massive congratulations to all their dedicated team.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (the Japanese word for cute). They create monthly subscription boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from brands such as Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio, Studio Ghibli and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive to Japan, pack them up in a very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently trending in Japanese arcades and stores. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. They also listen to what you would like to be included in future boxes, by asking across their social media. So make sure to have your opinions heard over on their social media posts. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_1\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our first product this month was the already announced Christmas Ball Cushion from Sanrio. This squishable festive plush is available in two characters - Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin. Of which I got the adorable Golden Retriever mascot. These official mascots are well made and stuffed, with stretchy material that always returns to its original shape. The only thing I noticed was that the Christmas hat on my plush was barely stitched on in two places, but if you are handy with a needle and thread - its\u2019 a simple repair job. It\u2019s a perfect addition to any Christmas decor and will be well loved in my home for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_2\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_3\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our second product this month is also the previously announced Sanrio Christmas Blanket. This super fluffy lap blanket measures in at 70x100cm and features many Sanrio mascots including Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pochacco and more. Unfortunately I saw no sign of Kuromi, which was a bit of a bummer. It is an incredibly festive blanket though, going by the symbols I see on the tag this blanket is hand wash only so make sure you don't put it in the washing machine. Although I don't see why you couldn't just have it on a cold wash, its best not to tempt faith as I would hate to see this blanket get destroyed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_4\"$ <\/p>\n

Our next Sanrio product is a pack of eco-friendly paper straws. Which I am sure will come in very handy during the holiday season if you have guests coming over. With 30 straws inside, with two different color variations they are almost too cute to even use! We are now onto our Kirby item, which is a location exclusive Lip Cream which is available in two versions, being either Tokyo or Mount Fuji. The overall packaging is adorable and fully recyclable, however once you flip the front around you will notice how small the product actually is. Its all about the appearance for this lip cream, and it will definitely stand out in the shop.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_6\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next product on the practical side is a body sponge from Sumikko Gurashi. Now I really liked the last set of sponges we got a few months back, that were also from Sumikko Gurashi. This one however is larger, looks perfect for lathering up your soap and will be needed to scrub away the negative effects that 2020 has left on all of us! This item is also available in four characters, including Shirokuma, Neko, Penguin and Tokage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our sixth and final item is the Animal Crossing Choco egg, much like a Kinder Egg it comes with a small toy inside encased in a chocolate shell. This item has been hopping off the shelves in Japanese convenience stores, as the franchise has had a massive following this year when the game came out during the first lockdown. With 18 characters to collect, you will be at it for a while to complete your collection. I want to ask you readers though, how much would you pay for this in a shop or even to import it from Japan? As I have seen footage from stores in Japan that sell it for 250Yen, which is about \u20ac2.50. Then I have come across sites that sell Japanese snacks and crates, that sell a single one for $10.00! Which is an obscene price to pay in my opinion! Just how much are devoted fans of Animal Crossing willing to pay for a single egg? Now I have eaten the chocolate and although it appears similar to a Kinder Egg, the chocolate itself is much similar to a very cheap Advent Calendar chocolate. Very cheap tasting and something I wouldn't be in a rush to buy again, however much like Kinder Eggs - its all about the surprise toy inside.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":201666,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_date_gmt":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_content":"

Hello everyone! Hope you are all keeping well, I have a massive haul to talk about today as last week I received 9 months worth of my Nihon Box subscriptions all of a sudden on my doorstep!<\/span><\/p>\n
As you guys are aware, I normally review the SoKawaii box each month. However that isn\u2019t the only subscription service I\u2019m with. Back in March 2020 I did a review of my very first Nihon Box, sadly when the pandemic started my boxes were stuck in their warehouse in Japan due to limited postal options. Almost a year has passed since my last box, when all of a sudden I came home one day to find two big FedEx boxes in my sitting room. The lovely people over at Nihon Box must have decided to rebox everyone's orders that they had been waiting on for so long and send them first class! So that way their warehouse would be empty of all back orders from 2020. To make it even more amazing, they had replaced any out of date food items with replacement ones. Such attention to detail and top class warehouse operatives too, as everything was packed with care. Not a single item was damaged, and there were a number of breakable items inside! I have to say, that team deserves more than just a round of applause!<\/span><\/p>\n
I\u2019ve known about this service for quite some time now, as I\u2019ve seen several unboxing videos from Doug D\u2019Marco on YouTube. Check out his channel if you can, he reviews several different subscription boxes and gives good, honest reviews. (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/Angelraider78)<\/span><\/p>\n
Much like SoKawaii, Nihon Box is a Japanese monthly subscription service that handpicks at least 6 items each month that are almost exclusive to Japan and ships them straight to your door. Their items are a mixture of Otaku Anime related merchandise and figures, as well as traditional Japanese items, from sweets to tableware. All of this is available to subscribe to for what I find a very affordable price each month.<\/span><\/p>\n
Like SoKawaii, the more months you pay upfront the cheaper the price for individual boxes will be.<\/span> https:\/\/www.nihonbox.com\/en<\/a><\/p>\n
Monthly is \u20ac29.99 plus shipping costs<\/span><\/p>\n
3 Months is a single payment of \u20ac86.97, making each box \u20ac28.99, plus shipping costs.<\/span><\/p>\n
6 Months is a single payment of \u20ac170.94, making each box \u20ac28.49, plus shipping costs.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxapril2020_1\"$ <\/p>\n
So let\u2019s move on to the types of items you could get in your box - or when 9 months of them just show up on your doorstep! So I have split the items up into different categories. So up first, I have the shirts that arrived. Back last October, Nihon Box got into the spooky vibe and included some Death Note merch - including this very cool looking T-shirt. Everything is official merch, so you can imagine the excitement seeing something like this included. The sizes are pretty accurate, well made and a nice vibrant print as well. Then we have the Naruto shirt that came in May\u2019s box. Followed by the ever popular Kimetsu no Yaiba Demon Slayer shirt that was included in August\u2019 box. Nihon Box tends to switch it up every couple of months as to when they include shirts.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxapril2020_2\"$ <\/p>\n
Next up is the plushie section of the review. So over the course of 9 months, they included plushies from various popular animes in just 6 of those months. We have both large, medium and small plushies, from classic shows including Death Note, DragonBall Z and Fairy Tail. As well as more recent shows, including Fire Force, The Promised Neverland and That Time I Was Reincarnated As A Slime. It was only in May\u2019s box, was there a possibility of getting either a Majin Buu or a Goku Daruma shaped plush. The rest of the character plushies were main cast or lead characters from their respective shows. For me, the Rimuru slime plush was the crowning jewel from this plush haul.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxapril2020_3\"$ <\/p>\n
Next up we have the everyday items, which include items for your lunch, some chopsticks and that all important toothbrush for your oral care. So we got a City Hunter lunch box, from a rather old anime from the late 80s and early 90s. Followed by a GTO Great Teacher Onizuka tumbler, from another classic anime from the year 2000. We also got two sets of chopsticks, from just a classic red pair with rabbits decorating the handles and a pair of cute Pikachu ones that come with their own carry case. This item was available in two different designs back last November, the other design was the classic Pok\u00e9ball print. April\u2019s box included a large Cardcaptor Sakura melamine spoon, the perfect size to eat your ramen with. May\u2019s box held a Pok\u00e9mon kozara plate, which is meant for more decoration than use. It\u2019s roughly the size of your palm and features both Pikachu and Wingull on a traditional wave shaped art pattern. And lastly, we have a single My Neighbour Totoro bamboo toothbrush.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxapril2020_4\"$ <\/p>\n
This image is more of the miscellaneous items that were included. I have to admit, I do really love this Gengar face cloth that was included in October's box. Great quality, fully licensed and straight from the Pok\u00e9mon store! We also received two laminated posters, from two of the most popular and iconic animes - Naruto & Bleach. We even received a small acrylic card from DragonBall, with 50 character designs available. It will take you quite some time to collect them all if you\u2019re a massive fan. They can pop out from the card and stand freely, well detailed and just a nice small item to have on your shelf. Every few months, if you have a continuous subscription, the lovely people over at Nihon Box throw in the odd loyalty bonus item. Mine included a Kirby pen, a Re: Zero blindbox keychain and a Mario Shell key cover.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxapril2020_5\"$ <\/p>\n
This is turning into a super long review! The next couple of items come from numerous shows and games from a number of genres. First up we have a frisbee with Kirby's glorious face printed on the front, for all the summer fun we all hope to have this year. We also have a One Piece clear file, from the Wano Kuni arc of the show when they were all dressed as samurai. We also have a Shonen Jump Vinyl case, which you could have gotten in three designs including Dragon Ball, One Piece and Naruro. It could also be used as a pencil case, or even a mask case during this pandemic. Moving on we got a Naruto Shippuden Tower Stand, which is quite handy to store all your pens and pencils in so they are always at the ready. I also got a pair of Dragon Ball Tabi socks, which are the iconic socks from Japan you always see when they wear sandals. It\u2019s a sock that just separates your big toe for the rest of them. Quite comfy when you get used to the feeling. Something you don\u2019t see very often included in subscription boxes, is Kingdom Hearts merch. Of which we got a can badge mystery box pin in July's box, with 13 to collect. I also got another Demon Slayer bull clip plush, from the same collection and even the same character that I received in a past SoKawaii box. Our Pok\u00e9mon item was a coaster\/strap, which featured one of 6 first generation Pok\u00e9mon in a pixel art design. Of which I actually got Mew! The last item in this picture was a Kokoro Basket mascot keychain.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxapril2020_6\"$ <\/p>\n
Now we are on to the food items! Now there have been a number of substitutions due to expired dates on original packets, so not every item I received was intended. I have tried quite a few of these items since, some have been well a bit hit and miss. The Animal Crossing chocolate egg had melted at some point over storage and travel, so it was very marbled by the time it got to me. The chocolate was very disappointing, but the figure was rather cute. It\u2019s Japan\u2019s version of a Kinder Egg really, but with lower quality chocolate. The Sakura flavoured green tea came with no instructions as to how to prepare it and since arriving, it has actually gone out of date. If they included a simple english translation for how to prepare it, it would have been very useful. I\u2019ve yet to try the Pok\u00e9mon snacks, all I know is that they are supposed to be a chocolate snack. I have also yet to try the big bag of Matcha Okoshi, which are green tea flavoured puffed rice cakes.<\/span><\/p>\n
The substitutes so far have been really delicious, from the mini sugar coated sponge bites - which were quite dry but would be great in a little desert with some cream and jam. The soybean flour and cane sugar sticks had an interesting flavour and texture but were very pleasant to snack on. Ultimately it was the matcha mochi choco that caught my attention. With a layer of green tea chocolate, that encased a mochi inside all in a small bite. It wasn't overpowering in any way and was the type of treat that made you consume it over time and not in one sitting. Kind of perfect for sharing really.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kawaii Christmas Party<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, with every parcel that arrives!!!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
Hello again my dears, the festive season is upon us once more and this month's box is like an early Christmas present to myself. We are now in the final month of what has been a chaotic 2020, a year like no other that had surprises around every corner whether we liked them or not! So in order to finish off this year, let\u2019s dive into the final SoKawaii subscription box of 2020!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
This month\u2019s theme was \u2018Kawaii Christmas Party\u2019, which contained six items from both Sanrio, Animal Crossing, Kirby and Sumikko Gurashi. Two of which are filled with festive cheer, another three were practical and the last was a very popular Animal Crossing item in every combini in Japan. So let\u2019s get the usual info out of the way, of just how you can get your own box and subscription from SoKawaii! This box also marks SoKawaii\u2019s second anniversary!! So massive congratulations to all their dedicated team.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (the Japanese word for cute). They create monthly subscription boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from brands such as Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio, Studio Ghibli and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive to Japan, pack them up in a very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently trending in Japanese arcades and stores. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. They also listen to what you would like to be included in future boxes, by asking across their social media. So make sure to have your opinions heard over on their social media posts. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_1\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our first product this month was the already announced Christmas Ball Cushion from Sanrio. This squishable festive plush is available in two characters - Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin. Of which I got the adorable Golden Retriever mascot. These official mascots are well made and stuffed, with stretchy material that always returns to its original shape. The only thing I noticed was that the Christmas hat on my plush was barely stitched on in two places, but if you are handy with a needle and thread - its\u2019 a simple repair job. It\u2019s a perfect addition to any Christmas decor and will be well loved in my home for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_2\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_3\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our second product this month is also the previously announced Sanrio Christmas Blanket. This super fluffy lap blanket measures in at 70x100cm and features many Sanrio mascots including Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pochacco and more. Unfortunately I saw no sign of Kuromi, which was a bit of a bummer. It is an incredibly festive blanket though, going by the symbols I see on the tag this blanket is hand wash only so make sure you don't put it in the washing machine. Although I don't see why you couldn't just have it on a cold wash, its best not to tempt faith as I would hate to see this blanket get destroyed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_4\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_5\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next Sanrio product is a pack of eco-friendly paper straws. Which I am sure will come in very handy during the holiday season if you have guests coming over. With 30 straws inside, with two different color variations they are almost too cute to even use! We are now onto our Kirby item, which is a location exclusive Lip Cream which is available in two versions, being either Tokyo or Mount Fuji. The overall packaging is adorable and fully recyclable, however once you flip the front around you will notice how small the product actually is. Its all about the appearance for this lip cream, and it will definitely stand out in the shop.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_6\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next product on the practical side is a body sponge from Sumikko Gurashi. Now I really liked the last set of sponges we got a few months back, that were also from Sumikko Gurashi. This one however is larger, looks perfect for lathering up your soap and will be needed to scrub away the negative effects that 2020 has left on all of us! This item is also available in four characters, including Shirokuma, Neko, Penguin and Tokage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our sixth and final item is the Animal Crossing Choco egg, much like a Kinder Egg it comes with a small toy inside encased in a chocolate shell. This item has been hopping off the shelves in Japanese convenience stores, as the franchise has had a massive following this year when the game came out during the first lockdown. With 18 characters to collect, you will be at it for a while to complete your collection. I want to ask you readers though, how much would you pay for this in a shop or even to import it from Japan? As I have seen footage from stores in Japan that sell it for 250Yen, which is about \u20ac2.50. Then I have come across sites that sell Japanese snacks and crates, that sell a single one for $10.00! Which is an obscene price to pay in my opinion! Just how much are devoted fans of Animal Crossing willing to pay for a single egg? Now I have eaten the chocolate and although it appears similar to a Kinder Egg, the chocolate itself is much similar to a very cheap Advent Calendar chocolate. Very cheap tasting and something I wouldn't be in a rush to buy again, however much like Kinder Eggs - its all about the surprise toy inside.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_7\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
And there we have it folks, the final SoKawaii box of 2020! So if you want to know how to get your own subscription, then continue on reading! There\u2019s even a discount code in there.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
So here is the price breakdown of the box each month and the savings you can get. At the moment, SoKawaii are shipping their boxes via DHL as Japan Post is still not allowing worldwide postage from Japan. Whether you subscribe month to month, or for their 3, 6 or even 12 month package options \u2013 there are savings to be had.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nhttp:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Better yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s box, rest assured that the items are different every month, for the most part. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through SoKawaiis\u2019 social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cCheers To A Kawaii Year\u201d, which will feature goods from Animal Crossing, Sanrio and Sailor Moon, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media. I want to thank each and everyone of you for following my content this year and I hope you enjoyed it! I want to wish you all a very happy Christmas and I will be back again next month for the first SoKawaii box of 2021!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":201666,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_date_gmt":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_content":"

Hello everyone! Hope you are all keeping well, I have a massive haul to talk about today as last week I received 9 months worth of my Nihon Box subscriptions all of a sudden on my doorstep!<\/span><\/p>\n
As you guys are aware, I normally review the SoKawaii box each month. However that isn\u2019t the only subscription service I\u2019m with. Back in March 2020 I did a review of my very first Nihon Box, sadly when the pandemic started my boxes were stuck in their warehouse in Japan due to limited postal options. Almost a year has passed since my last box, when all of a sudden I came home one day to find two big FedEx boxes in my sitting room. The lovely people over at Nihon Box must have decided to rebox everyone's orders that they had been waiting on for so long and send them first class! So that way their warehouse would be empty of all back orders from 2020. To make it even more amazing, they had replaced any out of date food items with replacement ones. Such attention to detail and top class warehouse operatives too, as everything was packed with care. Not a single item was damaged, and there were a number of breakable items inside! I have to say, that team deserves more than just a round of applause!<\/span><\/p>\n
I\u2019ve known about this service for quite some time now, as I\u2019ve seen several unboxing videos from Doug D\u2019Marco on YouTube. Check out his channel if you can, he reviews several different subscription boxes and gives good, honest reviews. (<\/span>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/Angelraider78<\/u><\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n
Much like SoKawaii, Nihon Box is a Japanese monthly subscription service that handpicks at least 6 items each month that are almost exclusive to Japan and ships them straight to your door. Their items are a mixture of Otaku Anime related merchandise and figures, as well as traditional Japanese items, from sweets to tableware. All of this is available to subscribe to for what I find a very affordable price each month.<\/span><\/p>\n
Like SoKawaii, the more months you pay upfront the cheaper the price for individual boxes will be.<\/span> https:\/\/www.nihonbox.com\/en<\/u><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
Monthly is \u20ac29.99 plus shipping costs<\/span><\/p>\n
3 Months is a single payment of \u20ac86.97, making each box \u20ac28.99, plus shipping costs.<\/span><\/p>\n
6 Months is a single payment of \u20ac170.94, making each box \u20ac28.49, plus shipping costs.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxapril2020_7\"$ <\/p>\n
This image is just a collection of a number of the traditional Japanese items that are included amongst every Nihon Box. From what I would deem as soba cups or green tea cups, which most often are not made with any handles. A Daruma, which I have just painted in the right eye of. I advise reading up on the history of this item as its actually quite sweet and interesting.<\/span><\/p>\n
We also have items which you would more than likely see at summer festivals in Japan, from a kitsune mask to a small paper balloon in the shape of a fish known as a Kingyo Kamif\u00fasen. There is also a traditional wind chime included, in the shape of a fish. Which would be lovely to have in front of a door or window when the summer breeze comes through. There is also a small cat figurine, known as a Maneki Neko Mokiji, decorated in maple leaves to celebrate the Autumn season. And a Washi Ningy\u00f3, which is a cute little figurine doll that was handmade from Japanese washi and kimono fabric. This beautiful little figure comes in her own display case and is just so precious to look upon. Alongside the two Ukiyo-e Sakura postcards, that are just another item that best represent the old Japanese historic art style.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxapril2020_8\"$ <\/p>\n
These next few items include a decorative plate and insulated lunch bag from The Promised Neverland. A show that has been well represented this year in Nihon Box, as we also received a plushie of Emma. We also have a decorative Spirited Away hand fan known as a Uchiwa, which will come in very handy during the hot weather. Another authentic Made in Japan item is this Usagi tray, which can be used to hold your meal or sweets. Much like you were being served in authentic Japanese restaurant or ryokan.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxapril2020_9\"$ <\/p>\n
Oooh now we are on to the high quality stuff here! Time for the figures, the best selling point about this service for me. Now not every month had a figure included, as they were sometimes switched out for a large plush - such as Ryuk in October and Rimuru in August. The rest of the months you are almost guaranteed a figure no matter what! So my new pride and joy on my shelf is the Asuka Langley figure from Evangelion from last July's box. That month gave you the chance of getting one of the four figures available in the Evangelion Shin Gekijouban figure range that was being released to mark what was the upcoming release of the fourth and final film - Rebuild of Evangelion. You could have gotten either Asuka, Rei, Kaworu or Evangelion Unit 13!<\/span><\/p>\n
We also have a Pok\u00e9mon ReMent figure from the Terrarium Volume 4 series, which had 6 to collect including Gengar, Totodile, Moltres, Slowpoke, Umbreon, as well as Pikachu sleeping on a Mareep.<\/span><\/p>\n
Last April's box included the 2020 Sakura Miku figure, which was brand new at the time. We also received a Kirby figure from the Solar Swing Collection, which was also featured in a SoKawaii box last year. Thankfully I received the other version that was available in this box, so my collection is now complete. Very cute item to have, which swings side to side when sunlight hits the small solar panel on the front of the figure base.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxapril2020_9\"$ $\"nihonboxapril2020_10\"$ <\/p>\n
We are finally onto our last three items! December\u2019s box included the Yami Yugi figurine from the Noodle Stopper collection. Although they are small scale statues, their poses allow them to sit freely on shelf corners - or indeed on the lid of your cup ramen as intended. For the size of the figure itself, its actually really well detailed and I adore it! From the same Noodle Stopper collection, comes the InuYasha figure from September's box. This was done for promotion of the latest InuYasha anime that was released last year - Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon.<\/span><\/p>\n
And last but not least, we have the Cardcaptor Sakura: Special Rocket Beat Figure! Which was only recently released at the time this box was filled, so I am super lucky that this figure was included in the box at all!<\/span><\/p>\n
Nihon Box always does their best to follow the latest anime trends as well as finding items from fan favorite shows in order to always appeal to their customer base. With items from classic shows such as InuYasha, GTO and Cardcaptor Sakura, to the newer franchises including The Promised Neverland and Demon Slayer. They not only source out some decent quality figures, but also to make sure that each month their box represents another unique aspect of Japan - from its food, to its culture, art, history and beliefs. It\u2019s a well rounded box, for both anime fans and cultural fans. For me, they are just a step above the likes of SoKawaii box just for their variety in products and value for money in the items you receive. Although SoKawaii are currently more reliable when it comes to shipping, it\u2019s simply only the side effects of the pandemic that has put them both on an even playing field. End of the day, I highly enjoy both of these subscriptions and don't see myself cancelling either of them anything soon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hello everyone! Hope you are all keeping well, I have a massive haul to talk about today as last week I received 9 months worth of my Nihon Box subscriptions all of a sudden on my doorstep!<\/span><\/p>\n
As you guys are aware, I normally review the SoKawaii box each month. However that isn\u2019t the only subscription service I\u2019m with.

$\"nihonboxapril2020_1\"$ <\/p>\n
So let\u2019s move on to the types of items you could get in your box - or when 9 months of them just show up on your doorstep! So I have split the items up into different categories. So up first, I have the shirts that arrived. Back last October, Nihon Box got into the spooky vibe and included some Death Note merch - including this very cool looking T-shirt. Everything is official merch, so you can imagine the excitement seeing something like this included. The sizes are pretty accurate, well made and a nice vibrant print as well. Then we have the Naruto shirt that came in May\u2019s box. Followed by the ever popular Kimetsu no Yaiba Demon Slayer shirt that was included in August\u2019 box. Nihon Box tends to switch it up every couple of months as to when they include shirts.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxapril2020_2\"$ <\/p>\n
Next up is the plushie section of the review. So over the course of 9 months, they included plushies from various popular animes in just 6 of those months. We have both large, medium and small plushies, from classic shows including Death Note, DragonBall Z and Fairy Tail. As well as more recent shows, including Fire Force, The Promised Neverland and That Time I Was Reincarnated As A Slime. It was only in May\u2019s box, was there a possibility of getting either a Majin Buu or a Goku Daruma shaped plush. The rest of the character plushies were main cast or lead characters from their respective shows. For me, the Rimuru slime plush was the crowning jewel from this plush haul.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxapril2020_3\"$ <\/p>\n
Next up we have the everyday items, which include items for your lunch, some chopsticks and that all important toothbrush for your oral care. So we got a City Hunter lunch box, from a rather old anime from the late 80s and early 90s. Followed by a GTO Great Teacher Onizuka tumbler, from another classic anime from the year 2000. We also got two sets of chopsticks, from just a classic red pair with rabbits decorating the handles and a pair of cute Pikachu ones that come with their own carry case. This item was available in two different designs back last November, the other design was the classic Pok\u00e9ball print. April\u2019s box included a large Cardcaptor Sakura melamine spoon, the perfect size to eat your ramen with. May\u2019s box held a Pok\u00e9mon kozara plate, which is meant for more decoration than use. It\u2019s roughly the size of your palm and features both Pikachu and Wingull on a traditional wave shaped art pattern. And lastly, we have a single My Neighbour Totoro bamboo toothbrush.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxapril2020_4\"$ <\/p>\n
This image is more of the miscellaneous items that were included. I have to admit, I do really love this Gengar face cloth that was included in October's box. Great quality, fully licensed and straight from the Pok\u00e9mon store! We also received two laminated posters, from two of the most popular and iconic animes - Naruto & Bleach. We even received a small acrylic card from DragonBall, with 50 character designs available. It will take you quite some time to collect them all if you\u2019re a massive fan. They can pop out from the card and stand freely, well detailed and just a nice small item to have on your shelf. Every few months, if you have a continuous subscription, the lovely people over at Nihon Box throw in the odd loyalty bonus item. Mine included a Kirby pen, a Re: Zero blindbox keychain and a Mario Shell key cover.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxapril2020_5\"$ <\/p>\n
This is turning into a super long review! The next couple of items come from numerous shows and games from a number of genres. First up we have a frisbee with Kirby's glorious face printed on the front, for all the summer fun we all hope to have this year. We also have a One Piece clear file, from the Wano Kuni arc of the show when they were all dressed as samurai. We also have a Shonen Jump Vinyl case, which you could have gotten in three designs including Dragon Ball, One Piece and Naruro. It could also be used as a pencil case, or even a mask case during this pandemic. Moving on we got a Naruto Shippuden Tower Stand, which is quite handy to store all your pens and pencils in so they are always at the ready. I also got a pair of Dragon Ball Tabi socks, which are the iconic socks from Japan you always see when they wear sandals. It\u2019s a sock that just separates your big toe for the rest of them. Quite comfy when you get used to the feeling. Something you don\u2019t see very often included in subscription boxes, is Kingdom Hearts merch. Of which we got a can badge mystery box pin in July's box, with 13 to collect. I also got another Demon Slayer bull clip plush, from the same collection and even the same character that I received in a past SoKawaii box. Our Pok\u00e9mon item was a coaster\/strap, which featured one of 6 first generation Pok\u00e9mon in a pixel art design. Of which I actually got Mew! The last item in this picture was a Kokoro Basket mascot keychain.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxapril2020_6\"$ <\/p>\n
Now we are on to the food items! Now there have been a number of substitutions due to expired dates on original packets, so not every item I received was intended. I have tried quite a few of these items since, some have been well a bit hit and miss. The Animal Crossing chocolate egg had melted at some point over storage and travel, so it was very marbled by the time it got to me. The chocolate was very disappointing, but the figure was rather cute. It\u2019s Japan\u2019s version of a Kinder Egg really, but with lower quality chocolate. The Sakura flavoured green tea came with no instructions as to how to prepare it and since arriving, it has actually gone out of date. If they included a simple english translation for how to prepare it, it would have been very useful. I\u2019ve yet to try the Pok\u00e9mon snacks, all I know is that they are supposed to be a chocolate snack. I have also yet to try the big bag of Matcha Okoshi, which are green tea flavoured puffed rice cakes.<\/span><\/p>\n
The substitutes so far have been really delicious, from the mini sugar coated sponge bites - which were quite dry but would be great in a little desert with some cream and jam. The soybean flour and cane sugar sticks had an interesting flavour and texture but were very pleasant to snack on. Ultimately it was the matcha mochi choco that caught my attention. With a layer of green tea chocolate, that encased a mochi inside all in a small bite. It wasn't overpowering in any way and was the type of treat that made you consume it over time and not in one sitting. Kind of perfect for sharing really.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kawaii Christmas Party<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, with every parcel that arrives!!!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
Hello again my dears, the festive season is upon us once more and this month's box is like an early Christmas present to myself. We are now in the final month of what has been a chaotic 2020, a year like no other that had surprises around every corner whether we liked them or not! So in order to finish off this year, let\u2019s dive into the final SoKawaii subscription box of 2020!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
This month\u2019s theme was \u2018Kawaii Christmas Party\u2019, which contained six items from both Sanrio, Animal Crossing, Kirby and Sumikko Gurashi. Two of which are filled with festive cheer, another three were practical and the last was a very popular Animal Crossing item in every combini in Japan. So let\u2019s get the usual info out of the way, of just how you can get your own box and subscription from SoKawaii! This box also marks SoKawaii\u2019s second anniversary!! So massive congratulations to all their dedicated team.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (the Japanese word for cute). They create monthly subscription boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from brands such as Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio, Studio Ghibli and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive to Japan, pack them up in a very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently trending in Japanese arcades and stores. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. They also listen to what you would like to be included in future boxes, by asking across their social media. So make sure to have your opinions heard over on their social media posts. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_1\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our first product this month was the already announced Christmas Ball Cushion from Sanrio. This squishable festive plush is available in two characters - Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin. Of which I got the adorable Golden Retriever mascot. These official mascots are well made and stuffed, with stretchy material that always returns to its original shape. The only thing I noticed was that the Christmas hat on my plush was barely stitched on in two places, but if you are handy with a needle and thread - its\u2019 a simple repair job. It\u2019s a perfect addition to any Christmas decor and will be well loved in my home for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_2\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_3\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our second product this month is also the previously announced Sanrio Christmas Blanket. This super fluffy lap blanket measures in at 70x100cm and features many Sanrio mascots including Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pochacco and more. Unfortunately I saw no sign of Kuromi, which was a bit of a bummer. It is an incredibly festive blanket though, going by the symbols I see on the tag this blanket is hand wash only so make sure you don't put it in the washing machine. Although I don't see why you couldn't just have it on a cold wash, its best not to tempt faith as I would hate to see this blanket get destroyed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_4\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_5\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next Sanrio product is a pack of eco-friendly paper straws. Which I am sure will come in very handy during the holiday season if you have guests coming over. With 30 straws inside, with two different color variations they are almost too cute to even use! We are now onto our Kirby item, which is a location exclusive Lip Cream which is available in two versions, being either Tokyo or Mount Fuji. The overall packaging is adorable and fully recyclable, however once you flip the front around you will notice how small the product actually is. Its all about the appearance for this lip cream, and it will definitely stand out in the shop.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_6\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next product on the practical side is a body sponge from Sumikko Gurashi. Now I really liked the last set of sponges we got a few months back, that were also from Sumikko Gurashi. This one however is larger, looks perfect for lathering up your soap and will be needed to scrub away the negative effects that 2020 has left on all of us! This item is also available in four characters, including Shirokuma, Neko, Penguin and Tokage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our sixth and final item is the Animal Crossing Choco egg, much like a Kinder Egg it comes with a small toy inside encased in a chocolate shell. This item has been hopping off the shelves in Japanese convenience stores, as the franchise has had a massive following this year when the game came out during the first lockdown. With 18 characters to collect, you will be at it for a while to complete your collection. I want to ask you readers though, how much would you pay for this in a shop or even to import it from Japan? As I have seen footage from stores in Japan that sell it for 250Yen, which is about \u20ac2.50. Then I have come across sites that sell Japanese snacks and crates, that sell a single one for $10.00! Which is an obscene price to pay in my opinion! Just how much are devoted fans of Animal Crossing willing to pay for a single egg? Now I have eaten the chocolate and although it appears similar to a Kinder Egg, the chocolate itself is much similar to a very cheap Advent Calendar chocolate. Very cheap tasting and something I wouldn't be in a rush to buy again, however much like Kinder Eggs - its all about the surprise toy inside.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_7\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
And there we have it folks, the final SoKawaii box of 2020! So if you want to know how to get your own subscription, then continue on reading! There\u2019s even a discount code in there.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
So here is the price breakdown of the box each month and the savings you can get. At the moment, SoKawaii are shipping their boxes via DHL as Japan Post is still not allowing worldwide postage from Japan. Whether you subscribe month to month, or for their 3, 6 or even 12 month package options \u2013 there are savings to be had.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nhttp:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Better yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s box, rest assured that the items are different every month, for the most part. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through SoKawaiis\u2019 social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cCheers To A Kawaii Year\u201d, which will feature goods from Animal Crossing, Sanrio and Sailor Moon, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media. I want to thank each and everyone of you for following my content this year and I hope you enjoyed it! I want to wish you all a very happy Christmas and I will be back again next month for the first SoKawaii box of 2021!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":201666,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_date_gmt":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_content":"

King of Tokyo<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
We are now in full swing into this festive season and I am unsure as to when this particular review will be going up on the website - so either way I hope you are all in a jolly mood!<\/span><\/p>\n
Now before I even had the review for the November box up on the site, the December edition of Nihon Box was already on my doorstep. The staff over in the warehouse has been working flat out in order to ship this month's box off a few weeks earlier, so everyone would have it in time for Christmas. So without further ado, let\u2019s get started with the usual speel of how you can sign up for your very own Nihon Box.<\/span><\/p>\n
Nihon Box is a Japanese monthly subscription service that handpicks at least 6 items each month that are almost exclusive to Japan and ships them straight to your door. Their items are a mixture of Otaku Anime related merchandise and figures, as well as traditional Japanese items, from sweets to tableware. All of this is available to subscribe to monthly, just keep reading along to see just how affordable it can be.<\/span><\/p>\n
Like SoKawaii, the more months you pay upfront the cheaper the price for individual boxes will be.<\/span> https:\/\/www.nihonbox.com\/en<\/a><\/p>\n
Monthly is \u20ac29.99 plus shipping costs<\/span><\/p>\n
3 Months is a single payment of \u20ac86.97, making each box \u20ac28.99, plus shipping costs.<\/span><\/p>\n
6 Months is a single payment of \u20ac170.94, making each box \u20ac28.49, plus shipping costs.<\/span><\/p>\n
Due to the latest European VAT legislation, the overall cost after shipping has increased slightly. The folks behind Nihon Box have done all they can to make this transition as simple as possible, so they have taken the necessary steps & changes in order to include the VAT directly in the subscription\u2019s price. This change will normally be effective starting from the next renewal of your subscription, with the addition of the VAT in the final price (19% for Germany). And from August of this year, as a small gift of appreciation to their overseas customers they will be including a 1000yen gift card to their YattaJapan.com store. As an idea of how much the charge has gone up, prior to August I was paying \u20ac32.89 a month. The new price I pay now is \u20ac40.45 a month, which is a nice increase but I believe the value is still there within the box. Now once it arrived in Ireland, I have been charged customs through An Post. Totalling just under \u20ac9euro the first month, with this particular box being around the \u20ac10 mark on top of the \u20ac40.45 I pay each month, making this a rather expensive price hike in the end. However this is all due to inflation and the recent customs changes within the EU, whilst Nihon Box is still cramming in as much value into the box as possible from their side.<\/span><\/p>\n
Here is a link to their FAQ page, just in case you\u2019re wondering if they ship to your country:<\/span> https:\/\/www.nihonbox.com\/en\/nihonbox\/faq<\/a><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxdec2021_1\"$ <\/p>\n
Our first item this month is a Shaman King figure from Banpresto. Seeing as Shaman King has had a remake just this year from Netflix, the merch and figures have begun to appear at a steady pace. So fair play to Nihon Box for including these figures in the final box of the year. With three characters available, including main man Yoh Asakura, his brother Hao and even Yoh\u2019s fianc\u00e9e Anna Kyoyama.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxdec2021_2\"$ <\/p>\n
Our next item is from the infamous Dragon Ball franchise, with this Shenron towel. This towel is more of a long, narrow hand towel. Although it does very much look like a cool scarf. It also resembles the color of a christmas tree, so why not include it in the December box! Also who doesn\u2019t want a towel of a mighty dragon?!<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxdec2021_3\"$ <\/p>\n
Following in Dragon Balls footsteps, is one of the more recent big hits from Shonen Jump - with Jujutsu Kaisen. This dark fantasy, supernatural adventure follows a young high school student named Yuji Itadori as he joins a secret organization in order to kill a powerful curse that has possessed him. This is a series I have yet to jump into myself, so let me know in the comments below or across our social media what your opinions are on Jujutsu Kaisen. So Nihon Box has included a plush in every box this month, to celebrate the release of the first Jujutsu Kaisen film in cinemas over in Japan. With four character plushies to collect, including Yuji Itadori, Gojo Satoru, Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki. They are a handy size, perfect to put on a shelf, seem to be well stitched together and dressed. I\u2019m sure any JJK fan would be happy to own one of these.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxdec2021_4\"$ <\/p>\n
Our next item is pretty damn well special, as it\u2019s a 3D puzzle of Tokyo Tower. Even more amazing and something I did not realize until reading the leaflet, is that when you take it out of the packaging, the building parts are arranged in a way that they spell out Tokyo in Kanji. So in fact this item is actually known as a Kanji Model kit of Tokyo Tower. However I do have to say that although it was simple enough to put together, getting it out of the packaging and trying to remove all the little plastic bits that held it together - was a bit of a nuisance. This would be no issue at all for those that have had experience with model kits like Gundam.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxdec2021_5\"$ <\/p>\n
Moving right along, we have the return of Kirby and his Limited Edition Beauty Care range. We have had this same exact range before where we received hand cream, this time it's back with lip cream. The packaging is just adorable and would make a lovely little gift, or even just used for display. The design also celebrates five different prefectures in Japan, including Okinawa, Kyoto, Yokohama, Osaka and Hokkaido. Only one of which is available in every box.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxdec2021_6\"$ <\/p>\n
Next up, is a nod towards the new year as we all received a Tiger Dorei Statuette, to symbolize 2022 - The year of the Tiger. Those of you that have enjoyed the Fruits Basket franchise, will be all too familiar with the Chinese Zodiac and their animal spirits. Whereas over here in the West we are more familiar with the astrology zodiac, where the time of year you are born points out your star sign. In Japan, your zodiac animal is determined by what year you are born. With it coming full circle every 12 years to begin again. This particular statuette has a small bell inside, comes with its own little pedestal and traditional looking folding screen for some decorative background art. This is a lovely piece of Japanese culture to own and one day, I would like to own the rest of the zodiac animals in the same design.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxdec2021\"$ <\/p>\n
We are almost at the end of this box, so hold on just a bit longer. Our latest recurring product has been a 1000 Yen gift card from Yatta Japan, which can be used on their website. Yatta Japan is also run by the same folks behind Nihon Box, where you can pre-order figures, buy Japanese snacks and even issues of Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine! The voucher can be used at check out, on all items except pre-orders. So watch out for that folks, also you can only use one gift card per transaction. Shipping is also a bit pricey for those of us in Ireland, as they only offer express shipping. Also don\u2019t forget that you will have to pay Customs separately for anything from outside the EU through An Post when it arrives in the country. So it all adds up unfortunately.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxdec2021_7\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxdec2021_8\"$ <\/p>\n
Our final item this month was a small gift to every subscriber, that even came nicely packaged up in this decorative envelope. Inside are five Christmas treats, including Christmas Fugashi, Chocolate Umaibo, New Mochi Taro, Kyabetsu Taro and a mini Matcha flavored Kit-Kat! And that, dear folks, is everything that was included in December's edition of Nihon Box!<\/span><\/p>\n
Did you like it? If so, comment down below or tag us on our social media to let us know what was your favorite item and if you have gotten your own subscription. Nihon Box always does their best to follow the latest anime trends as well as finding items from fan favorite shows in order to always appeal to their customer base. With items from Jujutsu Kaisen, Shaman King And Dragon Ball Z! They not only source out some decent quality figures and plushies, but they also make sure that each month their box represents another unique aspect of Japan \u2013 from its food, to its culture, art, history and beliefs. It\u2019s a well rounded box, for both anime and cultural fans. This box\u2019s theme was \u201cKing of Tokyo\u201d, and each pamphlet in every box also includes a detailed section called \u201cDiscover Japan\u201d. This month\u2019s topic was about the extravagant way that Japan has adopted the Christmas holiday and how they give it its own unique twist. It\u2019s details such as these that make this subscription box so unique and talked about.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hello everyone! Hope you are all keeping well, I have a massive haul to talk about today as last week I received 9 months worth of my Nihon Box subscriptions all of a sudden on my doorstep!<\/span><\/p>\n
As you guys are aware, I normally review the SoKawaii box each month. However that isn\u2019t the only subscription service I\u2019m with. Back in March 2020 I did a review of my very first Nihon Box, sadly when the pandemic started my boxes were stuck in their warehouse in Japan due to limited postal options. Almost a year has passed since my last box, when all of a sudden I came home one day to find two big FedEx boxes in my sitting room. The lovely people over at Nihon Box must have decided to rebox everyone's orders that they had been waiting on for so long and send them first class! So that way their warehouse would be empty of all back orders from 2020. To make it even more amazing, they had replaced any out of date food items with replacement ones. Such attention to detail and top class warehouse operatives too, as everything was packed with care. Not a single item was damaged, and there were a number of breakable items inside! I have to say, that team deserves more than just a round of applause!<\/span><\/p>\n
I\u2019ve known about this service for quite some time now, as I\u2019ve seen several unboxing videos from Doug D\u2019Marco on YouTube. Check out his channel if you can, he reviews several different subscription boxes and gives good, honest reviews. (<\/span>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/Angelraider78<\/u><\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n
Much like SoKawaii, Nihon Box is a Japanese monthly subscription service that handpicks at least 6 items each month that are almost exclusive to Japan and ships them straight to your door. Their items are a mixture of Otaku Anime related merchandise and figures, as well as traditional Japanese items, from sweets to tableware. All of this is available to subscribe to for what I find a very affordable price each month.<\/span><\/p>\n
Like SoKawaii, the more months you pay upfront the cheaper the price for individual boxes will be.<\/span> https:\/\/www.nihonbox.com\/en<\/u><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
Monthly is \u20ac29.99 plus shipping costs<\/span><\/p>\n
3 Months is a single payment of \u20ac86.97, making each box \u20ac28.99, plus shipping costs.<\/span><\/p>\n
6 Months is a single payment of \u20ac170.94, making each box \u20ac28.49, plus shipping costs.<\/span><\/p>\n

This image is just a collection of a number of the traditional Japanese items that are included amongst every Nihon Box. From what I would deem as soba cups or green tea cups, which most often are not made with any handles. A Daruma, which I have just painted in the right eye of. I advise reading up on the history of this item as its actually quite sweet and interesting.<\/span><\/p>\n
We also have items which you would more than likely see at summer festivals in Japan, from a kitsune mask to a small paper balloon in the shape of a fish known as a Kingyo Kamif\u00fasen. There is also a traditional wind chime included, in the shape of a fish. Which would be lovely to have in front of a door or window when the summer breeze comes through. There is also a small cat figurine, known as a Maneki Neko Mokiji, decorated in maple leaves to celebrate the Autumn season. And a Washi Ningy\u00f3, which is a cute little figurine doll that was handmade from Japanese washi and kimono fabric. This beautiful little figure comes in her own display case and is just so precious to look upon. Alongside the two Ukiyo-e Sakura postcards, that are just another item that best represent the old Japanese historic art style.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxapril2020_8\"$ <\/p>\n
These next few items include a decorative plate and insulated lunch bag from The Promised Neverland. A show that has been well represented this year in Nihon Box, as we also received a plushie of Emma. We also have a decorative Spirited Away hand fan known as a Uchiwa, which will come in very handy during the hot weather. Another authentic Made in Japan item is this Usagi tray, which can be used to hold your meal or sweets. Much like you were being served in authentic Japanese restaurant or ryokan.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxapril2020_9\"$ <\/p>\n
Oooh now we are on to the high quality stuff here! Time for the figures, the best selling point about this service for me. Now not every month had a figure included, as they were sometimes switched out for a large plush - such as Ryuk in October and Rimuru in August. The rest of the months you are almost guaranteed a figure no matter what! So my new pride and joy on my shelf is the Asuka Langley figure from Evangelion from last July's box. That month gave you the chance of getting one of the four figures available in the Evangelion Shin Gekijouban figure range that was being released to mark what was the upcoming release of the fourth and final film - Rebuild of Evangelion. You could have gotten either Asuka, Rei, Kaworu or Evangelion Unit 13!<\/span><\/p>\n
We also have a Pok\u00e9mon ReMent figure from the Terrarium Volume 4 series, which had 6 to collect including Gengar, Totodile, Moltres, Slowpoke, Umbreon, as well as Pikachu sleeping on a Mareep.<\/span><\/p>\n
Last April's box included the 2020 Sakura Miku figure, which was brand new at the time. We also received a Kirby figure from the Solar Swing Collection, which was also featured in a SoKawaii box last year. Thankfully I received the other version that was available in this box, so my collection is now complete. Very cute item to have, which swings side to side when sunlight hits the small solar panel on the front of the figure base.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxapril2020_9\"$ $\"nihonboxapril2020_10\"$ <\/p>\n
We are finally onto our last three items! December\u2019s box included the Yami Yugi figurine from the Noodle Stopper collection. Although they are small scale statues, their poses allow them to sit freely on shelf corners - or indeed on the lid of your cup ramen as intended. For the size of the figure itself, its actually really well detailed and I adore it! From the same Noodle Stopper collection, comes the InuYasha figure from September's box. This was done for promotion of the latest InuYasha anime that was released last year - Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon.<\/span><\/p>\n
And last but not least, we have the Cardcaptor Sakura: Special Rocket Beat Figure! Which was only recently released at the time this box was filled, so I am super lucky that this figure was included in the box at all!<\/span><\/p>\n
Nihon Box always does their best to follow the latest anime trends as well as finding items from fan favorite shows in order to always appeal to their customer base. With items from classic shows such as InuYasha, GTO and Cardcaptor Sakura, to the newer franchises including The Promised Neverland and Demon Slayer. They not only source out some decent quality figures, but also to make sure that each month their box represents another unique aspect of Japan - from its food, to its culture, art, history and beliefs. It\u2019s a well rounded box, for both anime fans and cultural fans. For me, they are just a step above the likes of SoKawaii box just for their variety in products and value for money in the items you receive. Although SoKawaii are currently more reliable when it comes to shipping, it\u2019s simply only the side effects of the pandemic that has put them both on an even playing field. End of the day, I highly enjoy both of these subscriptions and don't see myself cancelling either of them anything soon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hello everyone! Hope you are all keeping well, I have a massive haul to talk about today as last week I received 9 months worth of my Nihon Box subscriptions all of a sudden on my doorstep!<\/span><\/p>\n
As you guys are aware, I normally review the SoKawaii box each month. However that isn\u2019t the only subscription service I\u2019m with. Back in March 2020 I did a review of my very first Nihon Box, sadly when the pandemic started my boxes were stuck in their warehouse in Japan due to limited postal options. Almost a year has passed since my last box, when all of a sudden I came home one day to find two big FedEx boxes in my sitting room. The lovely people over at Nihon Box must have decided to rebox everyone's orders that they had been waiting on for so long and send them first class! So that way their warehouse would be empty of all back orders from 2020. To make it even more amazing, they had replaced any out of date food items with replacement ones. Such attention to detail and top class warehouse operatives too, as everything was packed with care. Not a single item was damaged, and there were a number of breakable items inside! I have to say, that team deserves more than just a round of applause!<\/span><\/p>\n
I\u2019ve known about this service for quite some time now, as I\u2019ve seen several unboxing videos from Doug D\u2019Marco on YouTube. Check out his channel if you can, he reviews several different subscription boxes and gives good, honest reviews. (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/Angelraider78)<\/span><\/p>\n
Much like SoKawaii, Nihon Box is a Japanese monthly subscription service that handpicks at least 6 items each month that are almost exclusive to Japan and ships them straight to your door. Their items are a mixture of Otaku Anime related merchandise and figures, as well as traditional Japanese items, from sweets to tableware. All of this is available to subscribe to for what I find a very affordable price each month.<\/span><\/p>\n

Monthly is \u20ac29.99 plus shipping costs<\/span><\/p>\n

6 Months is a single payment of \u20ac170.94, making each box \u20ac28.49, plus shipping costs.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxapril2020_1\"$ <\/p>\n
So let\u2019s move on to the types of items you could get in your box - or when 9 months of them just show up on your doorstep! So I have split the items up into different categories. So up first, I have the shirts that arrived. Back last October, Nihon Box got into the spooky vibe and included some Death Note merch - including this very cool looking T-shirt. Everything is official merch, so you can imagine the excitement seeing something like this included. The sizes are pretty accurate, well made and a nice vibrant print as well. Then we have the Naruto shirt that came in May\u2019s box. Followed by the ever popular Kimetsu no Yaiba Demon Slayer shirt that was included in August\u2019 box. Nihon Box tends to switch it up every couple of months as to when they include shirts.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxapril2020_2\"$ <\/p>\n
Next up is the plushie section of the review. So over the course of 9 months, they included plushies from various popular animes in just 6 of those months. We have both large, medium and small plushies, from classic shows including Death Note, DragonBall Z and Fairy Tail. As well as more recent shows, including Fire Force, The Promised Neverland and That Time I Was Reincarnated As A Slime. It was only in May\u2019s box, was there a possibility of getting either a Majin Buu or a Goku Daruma shaped plush. The rest of the character plushies were main cast or lead characters from their respective shows. For me, the Rimuru slime plush was the crowning jewel from this plush haul.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxapril2020_3\"$ <\/p>\n
Next up we have the everyday items, which include items for your lunch, some chopsticks and that all important toothbrush for your oral care. So we got a City Hunter lunch box, from a rather old anime from the late 80s and early 90s. Followed by a GTO Great Teacher Onizuka tumbler, from another classic anime from the year 2000. We also got two sets of chopsticks, from just a classic red pair with rabbits decorating the handles and a pair of cute Pikachu ones that come with their own carry case. This item was available in two different designs back last November, the other design was the classic Pok\u00e9ball print. April\u2019s box included a large Cardcaptor Sakura melamine spoon, the perfect size to eat your ramen with. May\u2019s box held a Pok\u00e9mon kozara plate, which is meant for more decoration than use. It\u2019s roughly the size of your palm and features both Pikachu and Wingull on a traditional wave shaped art pattern. And lastly, we have a single My Neighbour Totoro bamboo toothbrush.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxapril2020_4\"$ <\/p>\n
This image is more of the miscellaneous items that were included. I have to admit, I do really love this Gengar face cloth that was included in October's box. Great quality, fully licensed and straight from the Pok\u00e9mon store! We also received two laminated posters, from two of the most popular and iconic animes - Naruto & Bleach. We even received a small acrylic card from DragonBall, with 50 character designs available. It will take you quite some time to collect them all if you\u2019re a massive fan. They can pop out from the card and stand freely, well detailed and just a nice small item to have on your shelf. Every few months, if you have a continuous subscription, the lovely people over at Nihon Box throw in the odd loyalty bonus item. Mine included a Kirby pen, a Re: Zero blindbox keychain and a Mario Shell key cover.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxapril2020_5\"$ <\/p>\n
This is turning into a super long review! The next couple of items come from numerous shows and games from a number of genres. First up we have a frisbee with Kirby's glorious face printed on the front, for all the summer fun we all hope to have this year. We also have a One Piece clear file, from the Wano Kuni arc of the show when they were all dressed as samurai. We also have a Shonen Jump Vinyl case, which you could have gotten in three designs including Dragon Ball, One Piece and Naruro. It could also be used as a pencil case, or even a mask case during this pandemic. Moving on we got a Naruto Shippuden Tower Stand, which is quite handy to store all your pens and pencils in so they are always at the ready. I also got a pair of Dragon Ball Tabi socks, which are the iconic socks from Japan you always see when they wear sandals. It\u2019s a sock that just separates your big toe for the rest of them. Quite comfy when you get used to the feeling. Something you don\u2019t see very often included in subscription boxes, is Kingdom Hearts merch. Of which we got a can badge mystery box pin in July's box, with 13 to collect. I also got another Demon Slayer bull clip plush, from the same collection and even the same character that I received in a past SoKawaii box. Our Pok\u00e9mon item was a coaster\/strap, which featured one of 6 first generation Pok\u00e9mon in a pixel art design. Of which I actually got Mew! The last item in this picture was a Kokoro Basket mascot keychain.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"nihonboxapril2020_6\"$ <\/p>\n
Now we are on to the food items! Now there have been a number of substitutions due to expired dates on original packets, so not every item I received was intended. I have tried quite a few of these items since, some have been well a bit hit and miss. The Animal Crossing chocolate egg had melted at some point over storage and travel, so it was very marbled by the time it got to me. The chocolate was very disappointing, but the figure was rather cute. It\u2019s Japan\u2019s version of a Kinder Egg really, but with lower quality chocolate. The Sakura flavoured green tea came with no instructions as to how to prepare it and since arriving, it has actually gone out of date. If they included a simple english translation for how to prepare it, it would have been very useful. I\u2019ve yet to try the Pok\u00e9mon snacks, all I know is that they are supposed to be a chocolate snack. I have also yet to try the big bag of Matcha Okoshi, which are green tea flavoured puffed rice cakes.<\/span><\/p>\n
The substitutes so far have been really delicious, from the mini sugar coated sponge bites - which were quite dry but would be great in a little desert with some cream and jam. The soybean flour and cane sugar sticks had an interesting flavour and texture but were very pleasant to snack on. Ultimately it was the matcha mochi choco that caught my attention. With a layer of green tea chocolate, that encased a mochi inside all in a small bite. It wasn't overpowering in any way and was the type of treat that made you consume it over time and not in one sitting. Kind of perfect for sharing really.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kawaii Christmas Party<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, with every parcel that arrives!!!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
Hello again my dears, the festive season is upon us once more and this month's box is like an early Christmas present to myself. We are now in the final month of what has been a chaotic 2020, a year like no other that had surprises around every corner whether we liked them or not! So in order to finish off this year, let\u2019s dive into the final SoKawaii subscription box of 2020!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
This month\u2019s theme was \u2018Kawaii Christmas Party\u2019, which contained six items from both Sanrio, Animal Crossing, Kirby and Sumikko Gurashi. Two of which are filled with festive cheer, another three were practical and the last was a very popular Animal Crossing item in every combini in Japan. So let\u2019s get the usual info out of the way, of just how you can get your own box and subscription from SoKawaii! This box also marks SoKawaii\u2019s second anniversary!! So massive congratulations to all their dedicated team.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (the Japanese word for cute). They create monthly subscription boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from brands such as Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio, Studio Ghibli and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive to Japan, pack them up in a very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently trending in Japanese arcades and stores. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. They also listen to what you would like to be included in future boxes, by asking across their social media. So make sure to have your opinions heard over on their social media posts. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_1\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our first product this month was the already announced Christmas Ball Cushion from Sanrio. This squishable festive plush is available in two characters - Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin. Of which I got the adorable Golden Retriever mascot. These official mascots are well made and stuffed, with stretchy material that always returns to its original shape. The only thing I noticed was that the Christmas hat on my plush was barely stitched on in two places, but if you are handy with a needle and thread - its\u2019 a simple repair job. It\u2019s a perfect addition to any Christmas decor and will be well loved in my home for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_2\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_3\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our second product this month is also the previously announced Sanrio Christmas Blanket. This super fluffy lap blanket measures in at 70x100cm and features many Sanrio mascots including Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pochacco and more. Unfortunately I saw no sign of Kuromi, which was a bit of a bummer. It is an incredibly festive blanket though, going by the symbols I see on the tag this blanket is hand wash only so make sure you don't put it in the washing machine. Although I don't see why you couldn't just have it on a cold wash, its best not to tempt faith as I would hate to see this blanket get destroyed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_4\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_5\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next Sanrio product is a pack of eco-friendly paper straws. Which I am sure will come in very handy during the holiday season if you have guests coming over. With 30 straws inside, with two different color variations they are almost too cute to even use! We are now onto our Kirby item, which is a location exclusive Lip Cream which is available in two versions, being either Tokyo or Mount Fuji. The overall packaging is adorable and fully recyclable, however once you flip the front around you will notice how small the product actually is. Its all about the appearance for this lip cream, and it will definitely stand out in the shop.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_6\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next product on the practical side is a body sponge from Sumikko Gurashi. Now I really liked the last set of sponges we got a few months back, that were also from Sumikko Gurashi. This one however is larger, looks perfect for lathering up your soap and will be needed to scrub away the negative effects that 2020 has left on all of us! This item is also available in four characters, including Shirokuma, Neko, Penguin and Tokage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our sixth and final item is the Animal Crossing Choco egg, much like a Kinder Egg it comes with a small toy inside encased in a chocolate shell. This item has been hopping off the shelves in Japanese convenience stores, as the franchise has had a massive following this year when the game came out during the first lockdown. With 18 characters to collect, you will be at it for a while to complete your collection. I want to ask you readers though, how much would you pay for this in a shop or even to import it from Japan? As I have seen footage from stores in Japan that sell it for 250Yen, which is about \u20ac2.50. Then I have come across sites that sell Japanese snacks and crates, that sell a single one for $10.00! Which is an obscene price to pay in my opinion! Just how much are devoted fans of Animal Crossing willing to pay for a single egg? Now I have eaten the chocolate and although it appears similar to a Kinder Egg, the chocolate itself is much similar to a very cheap Advent Calendar chocolate. Very cheap tasting and something I wouldn't be in a rush to buy again, however much like Kinder Eggs - its all about the surprise toy inside.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_7\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
And there we have it folks, the final SoKawaii box of 2020! So if you want to know how to get your own subscription, then continue on reading! There\u2019s even a discount code in there.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
So here is the price breakdown of the box each month and the savings you can get. At the moment, SoKawaii are shipping their boxes via DHL as Japan Post is still not allowing worldwide postage from Japan. Whether you subscribe month to month, or for their 3, 6 or even 12 month package options \u2013 there are savings to be had.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nhttp:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Better yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s box, rest assured that the items are different every month, for the most part. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through SoKawaiis\u2019 social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cCheers To A Kawaii Year\u201d, which will feature goods from Animal Crossing, Sanrio and Sailor Moon, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media. I want to thank each and everyone of you for following my content this year and I hope you enjoyed it! I want to wish you all a very happy Christmas and I will be back again next month for the first SoKawaii box of 2021!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":201666,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_date_gmt":"2018-10-22 15:34:09","post_content":"
