\u201cDreamy Creatures\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Hello everyone, and welcome back to another ComicBuzz review! In todays\u2019 post I took a look into what was included in SoKawaii\u2019s June Box. The theme they ran with this time is \u201cDreamy Creatures\u201d, which features six products from a number of licenses. Including Studio Ghibli, Sanrio, Pok\u00e9mon and Kirby. So let\u2019s get started on our usual description of what SoKawaii is and what they have to offer you!<\/span><\/p>\n For those of you that don\u2019t know \u2013 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 5 to 7 cute & useful items exclusive to Japan, pack them up in a very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep each month. 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 accounts. So make sure to have your opinions heard over on their social media posts, particularly their Instagram one \u2013<\/span> https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a><\/p>\n So our first item this month is surely worth the price of the box alone, and that is the official Totoro plush from My Neighbour Totoro. Studio Ghibli merch is not cheap folks, especially on this side of the World. I have seen this exact plush go for \u00a345 in HMV - and it\u2019s not a massive plush by any regards! So for me, everything else in this box I may have just gotten for free cause this plush was definitely the cream of the crop. It\u2019s super fluffy, plump, stands freely on its own and is an official merch. Although it doesn\u2019t have its toothy, almost creepy looking grin - it is still adorable as heck and perfect to be put on display alongside your Studio Ghibli film collection.<\/span><\/p>\n Moving on we head on over to the world of Pok\u00e9mon, with this highly adorable Pikachu masking tape. This item was available in four designs, all from the Pokemon Sepia Graffiti collection. Looking into it now, this is a fairly old release, as it first came out back in 2016. However the designs are still just as adorable all the same, I wouldn\u2019t say no to another item from this collection being added again in a future box.<\/span><\/p>\n We are now onto our second Pok\u00e9mon item, with this very large Face Towel. With two designs available at random in every box, one of which will feature both Pikachu and Eevee enjoying a relaxing nap. This super soft towel is quite large and is more of a hand towel in my eyes, than a face towel. It looks like 8 times the size of a face cloth and the picture I took of it above is with the towel folded over 3 times!<\/span><\/p>\n We are now back to stationary with this next item, featuring Kirby. June\u2019s box saw everyone getting a set of two limited edition KIrby clear file folders, which were available in four regional designs. Including Tokyo, Osaka, Okinawa and Fujisan, with Kirby posing at each location. Now this is another older collection, as this was originally released last April. However it is quite adorable, but what does everyone do with their clear files? Do you display them, and if so how? Reach out to us on either Twitter or Facebook and tag us in your posts, to show us your clear file display ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n Our final two items are both from Sanrio, the largest of which is the My Melody circular floor mat in the picture above. Which is just one of three designs that was available at random in every box, the other two included Cinnamoroll and Hello Kitty. This mat is 50x50cm, probably amongst the smallest you can find and would be perfect to have at your computer desk. Better yet it has numerous anti slip bumps underneath, so it shouldn't go sliding about the place when you walk on it. The upside has a printed design of one of the three characters included, with the name in pastel print and a quote about the character underneath. This item was released in 2020, going by the trademark on the mat. It\u2019s nice and soft, but I could easily see this getting stained very quickly and I\u2019m unsure how machine washable it is. So best be careful with this one.<\/span><\/p>\n And our final item is a small Hello Kitty storage box. This clip-closed box would easily work as a small lunch box, for storing your washi\/masking tape, for hair ties or even your medication as long as you don\u2019t have small kids in the house that will be quickly drawn to such a cute box as this one. It also looks like a classic vintage Hello Kitty design, one that is sure to last the ages.<\/span><\/p>\n There we have it folks, that was Junes\u2019 SoKawaii box. This month had a good mix of items, from decorative, storage, household and stationary from some iconic franchises. Now let\u2019s get on to the all important information, for how YOU can begin your own subscription, as well as a special discount code just for you guys.<\/span><\/p>\n So here is the price breakdown of the box each month and the savings you can get. SoKawaii are back to shipping their boxes via Japan Post, so delivery may take a number of weeks. 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 1 Month \u2013 $35.00 (\u20ac29.00mo roughly)<\/span><\/p>\n 3 Months \u2013 $33.50 (\u20ac28.00mo roughly)<\/span><\/p>\n 6 Months \u2013 $32.00 (\u20ac26.50mo roughly)<\/span><\/p>\n 12 Months \u2013 $31.50 (\u20ac26.00mo roughly)<\/span><\/p>\n Better yet, here is a $3 discount code that you can use on your first box by clicking this link!<\/span><\/p>\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a><\/p>\n Now if you enjoyed June\u2019s box, then just wait for July\u2019s! It\u2019s theme is \u201cEnchanting Matsuri\u201d, which will feature a number of items from Sumikko Gurashi, Sanrio and Rilakkuma. That box is already sold out and on the way to me and will include a Sumikko Gurashi electric hand fan! Shame the Irish heatwave has already been and gone! Stay tuned to SoKawaiis\u2019 social media, as they announced their themes, sneak peaks and opinion polls on what fans want to see next in their boxes. They are very active on their Instagram and really listen to what their customers are looking for \u2013 so go have your say now! Also make sure and use that special discount code I left you all above!<\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.sokawaii.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n","post_title":"SoKawaii June 2021 Box Review","post_excerpt":"Dreamy creatures","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-june-2021-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-10-08 02:38:57","post_modified_gmt":"2022-10-08 01:38:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=206549","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":206316,"post_author":"5","post_date":"2021-05-28 19:44:27","post_date_gmt":"2021-05-28 18:44:27","post_content":" \u201cFull Bloom Sakura\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nHello everyone, I\u2019m back with another SoKawaii box review! Although a little later than usual, seeing as Japan Post is back up and running international postage again - shipping now takes a couple of weeks compared to 5 days tops from DHL during the pandemic. Don\u2019t worry though, I still see myself doing the subscription box reviews for quite some time yet. So let\u2019s get on to April\u2019s box and its \u201cFull Bloom Sakura\u201d theme, which was celebrating Cherry Blossom season. So everything in this box more or less followed the same color palette. This month\u2019s items are mostly from Sanrio, with one Pok\u00e9mon item included.<\/span>\n\nFor those of you that don\u2019t know - 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.

<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n\nOur first item this month is a rather large one for the size of the box, and it\u2019s this Sakura Cinnamoroll plush from Sanrio. This mochi plush is perfect for those day time naps that we all dream about post lunch. It\u2019s pillow-like design features the iconic white character, with a light pink blush across its cheeks, sakura petals printed on its floppy ears and a sakura flower adorned on its head. It\u2019s very well detailed and is also an exclusive item, as this plush is a limited run 2021 design from Sanrio. Better yet we have four items from this Sakura Sanrio collection in this very box.<\/span>\n\n
\n\nThe next item is also from the same collection and is a mini memo pad. Following the same character design as the Cinnamoroll plush, each page is ruled and has the same image on the front of the memo pad on the top of each page. This item is available in 8 different Sanrio character designs, of which I received Cinnamoroll.<\/span>\n\n
\n\nOur third item from the Sakura collection is this Character pen, pictured on the left in the picture above. Now it is always handy to have an extra pen in the house and on you at all times, especially one as cute as this. This pen has a decent grip and weight to it, so it will be good for all that general paperwork you have to do. This item was available in three designs, all of which had Sanrio characters in the same traditional clothing designs as the memo pad.<\/span>\n\nOur next item is the Hello Kitty - Flower Body Spray, pictured on the right in the photo above. It\u2019s in a handy travel size bottle, so you can put it in your handbag if you're on the go. It follows the same Sakura theme and has a cute packaging design. I am actually amazed it never leaked or broke during shipping. The scent might be a bit too strong for some, as I find just one spritz goes a long way. Can be used by adults, but would also make a nice gift for younger girls that are a bit too young for perfume yet.<\/span>\n\n
\n\nNow a pair of fluffy socks is always a welcome sight in any box, especially if they are character themed. This pair is once again from Sanrio, and is available in three character designs including My Melody, Hello Kitty and Pompompurin, but with four designs available. So it will be a real pick and mix in regards to what designs everyone will get. It\u2019s made from stretchy material, super fluffy and for me, they fit a UK size 4 comfortably. They are more fluffy ankle socks, will stretch to a UK size 5 to 7 but don\u2019t think there will be anymore room after that.<\/span>\n\n
\n\nWe are now onto our sixth and final Sanrio item from this month\u2019s box - in this gorgeous Sakura Tote bag! This dual handled tote bag comes with two zippers on top with a rather sizable pocket on the inside. Would be ideal perhaps as a handbag, would easily carry a lunch or maybe even for a beach trip. This adorable bag is covered all around by a floral print, with several Sanrio characters printed across it including Keroppi, Little Twin Stars and Pompompurin. This bag was guaranteed in every April box.<\/span>\n\n
\n\nWe are now onto our final item for this April's box and it comes from Pok\u00e9mon, with Volume 5 of their Pokemofu mini doll series. This item is very similar to the Sylvanian Families, where we have a small figure that is covered in a light fur, giving it a fuzzy appearance. This series has been running since 2018 and is being made by Bandai, each figure also comes with a small piece of gum - which allows them to be sold in convenience stores near the sweets. There are seven available in Volume 5, including Pikachu, Grookey, Scorbunny, Sobble, Sandshrew, Alolan Sandshrew and Bewear.<\/span>\n\n
\n\nThere we have it folks, that was Aprils\u2019 SoKawaii box. Very Sanrio heavy in the merch, a number of limited collectables, very on theme with the Cheery Blossom season. Now let\u2019s get on to the all important information, for how YOU can begin your own subscription, as well as a special discount code just for you guys.<\/span>\n\nSo here is the price breakdown of the box each month and the savings you can get. SoKawaii are back to shipping their boxes via Japan Post, so delivery may take a number of weeks. 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>\n\n1 Month \u2013 $35.00 (\u20ac29.00mo roughly)<\/span>\n\n3 Months \u2013 $33.50 (\u20ac28.00mo roughly)<\/span>\n\n6 Months \u2013 $32.00 (\u20ac26.50mo roughly)<\/span>\n\n12 Months \u2013 $31.50 (\u20ac26.00mo roughly)Better yet, here is a $3 discount code that you can use on your first box by clicking this link!<\/span>\n\nhttp:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\n\nNow if you enjoyed April's box, then just wait for May\u2019s!
