Wish Upon A Star<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Well hello again and welcome back for another So Kawaii subscription box review. Each month I take a look into what has been included in the most recent of Japanese anime subscription boxes from both So Kawaii and Nihon Box. Today's entry is none other than November's edition of So Kawaii, which ran with the theme of \u201cWish Upon A Star\u201d. A theme that included such fan favorite franchises, including Cardcaptor Sakura, Pokemon, Sanrio and Sumikkogurashi. So before we begin looking at what was inside, let\u2019s just do a recap on the company that makes these addictive boxes.<\/span><\/p>\n

For those of you that don\u2019t know \u2013 So Kawaii 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 So Kawaii handpicks 5 to 7 cute & useful items exclusive to Japan, packs them up in a very decorative box and sends 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

<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s start off with our first item this month, which comes straight from Sanrio with this adorable Little Twin Stars 'cosme case\u2019. Designed in the shape of a star, with images of Kiki & Lala riding on a magical unicorn with their castle floating on a cloud behind them. This decorative storage box is ideal to help declutter your desk or make-up table, whilst also adding a splash or kawaii to the room.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Next up are two items from the San-X brand - Sumikkogurashi. The one on our left is a squishy Ebifurai no Shippo, who is a leftover tail of fried shrimp. This item is incredibly pleasing to just squish in between your hands, I can fully understand now why people have come to be fascinated with items such as this. It also has a rather pleasing scent to it, I am still unsure what exactly it is but I think it\u2019s something like vanilla pudding. This item was one of many characters that were available at random in every box last month, that either came as a squishy bread or a candy pouch.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our second Sumikkogurashi item is this wooden bookmark which was also entirely made in Japan according to the leaflet. With four character duo designs available at random, I was happy to see that Ebifurai no Shippo returned once again but was featured sitting on top of her friend Tonkatsu. Now I adore books and have gathered quite a collection of bookmarks over the years, from ordering online and in stores. However I must say this one is quite adorable, never have I owned a wooden bookmark before.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Moving on, we have our Pok\u00e9mon item in this latest Re-Ment \u201cStarrium\u201d Season 2 collection. This series has a total of six designs to collect, of which I received the Pikachu and Eevee duo sitting upon a cloud with a starry night sky behind them. It\u2019s almost a shame that you only get one of the designs in every box, as these Re-Ment figures are so addictive to collect as you will always crave a complete set once you see the various designs. This one in particular has now been added to my now full shelf of other Re-Ment figures from various other series including Pok\u00e9mon, Kirby and San-X.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Our largest item this month came in the form of this Kuromi plush from Sanrio. Now you would normally expect to see Kuromi in her iconic black and white colors, even a dark shade of purple would be understandable. However in this month's box, Kuromi has been transformed into this pastel rainbow plush, much like a large TsumTsum. Rather unusual and certainly out of character for the mischievous punk rabbit. However this item is rather unique, as it was made by Sanrio especially for this very box - so you won\u2019t find this anywhere else in the World.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Our final item for this rather special So Kawaii box comes from the one and only Cardcaptor Sakura. A franchise that is very close to my own heart, so I am always delighted to see it being included in boxes from time to time. This item however is a tad lacking though, as it is simply two clear zip lock bags. This is a two piece set, which includes a small and medium sized document pocket as I would see it. Now the designs printed on them are adorable as heck, both featuring original images from the Clear Card anime. They can be used to hold your important papers whilst travelling, or maybe even your make up. End of the day, they are just resealable pouch pockets with cute images on the front and back.<\/span><\/p>\n

And there we have it folks, that was the end of our November box review from SoKawaii. What did you think of this one? Let us know by reaching out to us across our social media accounts. So let\u2019s continue with how you can get your very own SoKawaii box, as well as a small discount for all your first time buyers!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cToo Cute To Spook\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nHello everyone and welcome back once again to another subscription box review with us over on ComicBuzz. Today let\u2019s take a look back at what was included in October\u2019s edition of SoKawaii, which ran with the theme of \u2018Too Cute To Spook\u2019. We had six items this month that ranged from homewares, a plush, an accessory and beauty, from the likes of Sanrio, Pok\u00e9mon and Twisted Wonderland. So before we get this review started, let\u2019s take a look at who SoKawaii is!<\/span>\n\nFor 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>\n\n\n\nOur first item this month is far from spooky, with this bright pink Pokemon alarm clock. This item was available in four designs and colors, including pink, yellow, green and purple. As you can see from the pink version above, it features Slowpoke, Mew, Luvdisc and Alcremie.This is a battery operated clock, with the battery not included. It is rather cute, great for a bedroom decoration.<\/span>\n\n\n\nNext up is this Makeup Brush Cleaner and stand from Sanrio. Featuring two of my favorite girls - Kuromi and My Melody. Now this is a rather practical item I must say. As you can see from the packaging above, all you need to do is take the lid off of the tub, add some water or cleaning solution and wash your makeup brushes in it by moving the bristles along the pointed spikes at the bottom which help to remove the likes of foundation from the brush. Now I\u2019m not one to wear much makeup, so I\u2019m unsure as to how well this item actually works but going by just the design alone - it is actually quite clever and well thought out. And who knows, maybe it also works on kids' paint brushes?<\/span>\n\n\n\nMoving on now to our Twisted Wonderland item, with this acrylic stand featuring Idia Shroud. With one of seven characters included in every box, its a series that is still rather unheard of here outside of Japan. Twisted Wonderland is actually a Japanese mobile game created by Aniplex and Disney. Interestingly enough, the character designs, scenario and concept was actually created by the author of Black Butler - Yana Toboso. There is even an anime in the works at the moment and should hopefully be released sometime next year over on Disney+.<\/span>\n\n\n\nOur next item is a Narikiri face mask from Sanrio. I\u2019m unsure as to how many varieties of designs that were available, as there were at least two. I received the Hello Kitty design, while the Pompompurin one is advertised in the leaflet. These character designed face masks make a great inexpensive souvenir and are a good seller in Japan. This particular one is rose scented and claims to be packed full of everything your skin needs to feel revitalised including ingredients such as witch hazel water, damask rose, hydrolyzed collagen and soybean extract, it will also leave your skin smelling like roses. If you missed out on getting your own face mask last month, then do not fear as ToFu Cute is also selling them over on their UK based website and store based in Portsmouth.<\/span>\n\nTofuCute: https:\/\/www.tofucute.com\/narikiri-face-pack-mask-kawaii-hello-kitty~p4970.html<\/span>\n\n\n\n\n\nOkay so who here also loves Aggretsuko? Exactly, practically everybody that has come across her! Retsuko is a 25year old red panda, working in the accounting department of a Japanese business. She is the most realistic Sanrio character I have ever come across, as she depicts the many ups and downs of being single, dating and working life. In order to blow off some steam, she goes on solo trips to a karaoke booth to play some heavy metal as she screams out her frustrations. It is definitely an entertaining watch, and you can catch it all now over on Netflix. Season Four is set to hit screens shortly, on the 16th December. So in order to get on the hype train, everyone received this Two sided Aggretsuko pouch. Where one side shows her calm demeanor, the other has her Rage side! It\u2019s a small zipped pouch that you can attach to your bag with enough room inside for a couple of coins.<\/span>\n\n\n\nAnd our last item this month is this Halloween inspired Cinnamoroll plush. This exclusive Halloween plush takes our normal Cinnamoroll design and makes it a tad more magical. It\u2019s ears now have a colorful fade on them from purple to orange on the tips, with both bat, black stars and spider web designs printed on. The plush also has a small black witches hat attached, a black and orange cape and the cutest of pumpkin wands attached to their right hand. With the addition of this new plush, I now have a trio of Sanrio Halloween plushies to break out each year. All thanks to the last three years of the October SoKawaii box. I wonder just what character we will be receiving in 2022?!<\/span>\n\nAnd there we have it folks, that was the end of our October box review from SoKawaii. What did you think of this one? Let us know by reaching out to us across our social media accounts. So let\u2019s continue with how you can get your very own SoKawaii box, as well as a small discount for all your first time buyers!<\/span>\n\nSo here is the price breakdown of the box each month and the savings you can get.

SoKawaii - September<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter School Party\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\nHello again and welcome back to another subscription box review! Today let\u2019s take a good look at what was included in Septembers\u2019 box from SoKawaii. The Japanese monthly subscription box service that gathers a number of super cute and sometimes exclusive items each month, packs them neatly into a very striking box and ships them right to your doorstep. September\u2019s box ran with the theme of \u2018After School Party\u2019, as the new school semester starts for many of you out there. So let\u2019s get started with our usual SoKawaii info!<\/span>\n\nFor 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>\n\n\n\nOur first item this month is perfectly timed with going back to school, as we all received this Himouto! Umaru-chan pencil case. From the popular and short lived 2015 anime, we get this slim pencil case that is entirely decorated in Umaru-chans\u2019 face. Featuring 13 various facial expressions that you are sure to experience throughout an entire school day! Like I mentioned it is fairly slim, so no point expecting to fit in a scientific calculator. Ideal for a couple of pens & pencils, as well as that all important Tipp-Ex pen so you can doodle a few mustaches on your new pencil case.<\/span>\n\n\n\nMoving on, we have a rather handy foldable straw and case from Sanrio. Available in four character designs, including Kuromi, My Melody, Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin. This set comes with two foldable straws, a cleaning brush and a small case that could very easily be mistaken for an airpod case. Now I say this is handy for the simple reason, those that have braces will find this incredibly useful.<\/span>\n\n\n\nOur next item features the wonderful keeper of the Clow Cards - Cardcaptor Sakura. In this mini ring notebook, with a hardcover and star shaped cut out design that showcases Sakura on the front page. Also on each individual page there is a little Kero-chan on the bottom corner. The pages are also dotted on the inside edge, so they can be easily be torn away for cute notes.<\/span>\n\n\n\n\n\nWe return once again to Sanrio, with this My Melody magnet clip. A pretty useful magnet to keep on your fridge, to keep those all important school calendars or class timetables on hand. It has a fairly strong clip on it, as well as a pretty powerful magnet which is a plus.<\/span>\n\n\n\nAnd now we get to our final item for this month, with this Pompompurin Sakura plushie bag. Not only is Sanrio\u2019s favourite Golden Retriever mascot carrying its own sakura flower, but he has also been dyed a soft pink color to match. This bag is so incredibly soft, if you could remove the straps it would make a great plush to just cuddle. However this plush is indeed a bag and a rather spacious one at that. Not only was I able to fit my phone lengthways, I would easily get in a wallet and keys. You could very possibly be able to go out for an entire day and still manage to just use this handbag for your necessities. It does have a rather long strap as well. When extended to its last it does come to just above my hip - and I\u2019m 5ft 2\u201d. As for practicality, I don\u2019t know what way you would style your outfit around this bag. It is incredibly girly and from where I live, it would be seen as incredibly childish to walk around with. Once again this is another item we have been sent that is either only going to get an outing at an anime convention or on the streets of Harajuku if one was lucky enough to go. Personally, I think SoKawaii needs to start rethinking exactly what they should be including in their boxes as I am strongly thinking of ending my subscription in the new year due to the impractical items such as this bag that are regularly featured. But hey, that is just my own personal opinion and taste.<\/span>\n\nSo that is everything that was included in Septembers\u2019 box from SoKawaii. Let me know what you thought about it in the comments below, or tag us across our social media. For me, this month's box was a bit of a let down. Having received yet another notebook, straw set and plush bag. The same sorts of items are being repeated a bit too often now for my taste. Although most are indeed practical, there is such a thing as having too much of one thing. Either way, let\u2019s continue on with how YOU can order your very own subscription to SoKawaii!<\/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)<\/span>\n\nBetter 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 September\u2019s box, then just wait for Octobers\u2019! It\u2019s theme is \u201cToo Cute To Spook\u201d, which will feature a number of items from Sanrio, Pok\u00e9mon and Twisted Wonderland.

This month we took an in depth look at what was included in Augusts\u2019 box, which featured six items across Sanrio, Studio Ghibli and Kirby. Some were useful everyday items, others were decorative, whilst the rest were more from a beauty category. So let\u2019s get started with the usual, and all important info!<\/span>\n\nFor 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.

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 https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/span>\n\n\n\nOur first two items this month come from Sanrio and are of the plush variety. We have a small Pompompurin plush mascot on a keychain that is super soft and squishy. This little dough ball can simply be used as a normal bag charm, decoration or can even be placed in this very secure and dust free pouch - featuring Cinnamoroll. What would look like a normal plastic pouch, similar looking to a drinks holder, but features a Cinnamoroll plush head on top as a lid. The overall design reminds me of a vanilla milkshake, as there is a red & white straw sticking out of Cinnamoroll\u2019s head. The clear plastic pouch makes it ideal as a small fashion accessory, if you want to carry another plush with you inside of it. However this could be aimed more at younger girls, but it only features a keychain attachment. Which if they wanted this to be worn as part of an outfit, it really should have been designed with a shoulder strap in mind. This item in my mind, is more aimed as a decorative item at home, rather than a fashion accessory.<\/span>\n\n\n\nMoving on, we have our Kirby item! Of which we all received a fairly hefty sized tin of peach scented moisturizing cream, featuring our favorite pink skinned, competitive eater! This item was available in four tin designs, all limited edition and taken inspiration from a number of famous places in Japan. The one I received is a very tropical one, as it has the Okinawa design - the Hawaii of Japan.<\/span>\n\n\n\nOur fourth item this month comes from Sanrio once again, but instead we get a mini spray bottle featuring Kiki & Lala from Little Twin Stars. This 30ml reusable spray bottle is perfect for those weekend aways, where you just intend on bringing a small amount of perfume, without any of the worry of thinking \u2018what if the glass bottle breaks in the bag?\u2019. This travel ready bottle is also ideal for other liquids, including toners. Pretty handy to have lying around in the house, as it\u2019s not very often you can just pick one of these up in the shop without being forced to buy a multi pack or set.<\/span>\n\n\n\nMoving on, we have a rather \u2018unusual\u2019 item. One that mightn\u2019t be of much use to everyone, but will certainly be a huge hit with some individuals. Here we have a My Melody pill box, which is in fact two four compartment made medicine boxes which will be ideal to store your daily meds. However it is rather small, and also I do not see the point of it being made into two separate eight compartments, when most pill boxes either cover seven or fourteen days. I assume this might also be ideal for those that have piercings or contact lenses, as it\u2019s simple to pop into your bag and there is nothing to say on it that it is essentially for medicine.<\/span>\n\n\n\nAnd our final item this month comes from My Neighbour Totoro by Studio Ghibli. This award winning film that has captured many generations of viewers, ever since it was first viewed by audiences back in 1988, returns once more to a SoKawaii box with this reusable water bottle. Not only that but it also includes a tea infuser as well just under the lid. An interesting sight and a first for me, as I have never seen this in a simple water bottle design over here in Ireland before. I would assume that this is more for cold tea drinkers, as I doubt this bottle is meant to store hot liquids for long. This design is also the exact same as the one that was included on the My Neighbour Totoro tumbler that wa included in Nihon Boxes June crate this year.<\/span>\n\n\n\nSo that is everything that was included in Augusts\u2019 box from SoKawaii. Let me know what you thought about it in the comments below, or tag us across our social media. For me, this was kind of just an okay box as the only items of interest to me were the Kirby cream and Totoro bottle. The rest felt more like fillers. Either way, let\u2019s continue on with how YOU can order your very own subscription to SoKawaii!<\/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)<\/span>\n\nBetter 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 August\u2019s box, then just wait for September\u2019s! It\u2019s theme is \u201cAfter School Party\u201d, which will feature a number of items from Sanrio, Cardcaptor Sakura and Umaru-chan. That box is already sold out and on the way to me and will include a Pompompurin Sakura plushie bag.

\u201cEnchanting Matsuri\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nHello everyone, I am back once again with yet another SoKawaii review. This time we take a look at what was included in July's box, which just like the Nihon Box is all themed around celebrating the summer matsuri season. The products in this box are from Sanrio, San-X, Sumikko Guarashi and Pok\u00e9mon. So let\u2019s get started on our usual description of what SoKawaii is and what they have to offer you!<\/span>\n\nFor 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>\n\n\n\nOur first item this month comes straight from San-X, with their Rilakkuma tray made from bamboo fibre. A more sustainable material that has become very popular with brands over the last few years, due to how quickly the plant grows and the fact it doesn\u2019t need any pesticides. This tray has a lovely print on the front of Rilakkuma, Korilakkuma and Kiiroitori dressed in their colorful yukatas as they enjoy a night filled with fireworks and tasty treats. The ideal way to enjoy a matsuri festival in Japan. This tray also has a trademark on the bottom right for 2021, meaning this tray was only just recently released during this summer.<\/span>\n\n\n\nNext up is our Pok\u00e9mon item from the Pocket Monsters Sepia Graffiti collection. We actually received another item from this very same collection in last month\u2019s box, with a washi tape. Now I am unsure as to how old this collection actually is, as I have seen on other websites that the washi tape was first released back in 2018. However this month we have gone a little more upscale, with this handy pouch case. This pouch is actually really well made, has a tanned look to it and you would almost expect that it was made entirely out of leather. The design on the front features an Eevee and Pikachu, as they do a bit of window shopping. As you can see, Eevee is taking interest in the three evolution stones on display in the window. Behind them is a cobbled street, with an old style phone box and lamp post. The whole look to this design, gives off a feel of old London in the last century. The script on the front is also pretty charming as well, as it gives a very brief description of the idea of Pok\u00e9mon. Now the pouch is snug enough, you would certainly fit in a normal of pens and pencils, perhaps some make up or cash envelopes. Unfortunately it was too snug to fit my phone, so you would want a very slim model to fit into this pouch.<\/span>\n\n\n\nNow we move on to Sanrio, with this pair of My Melody Kitchen sponges. Now this item was in fact available in two different designs, with the iconic Hello Kitty being the other pair you could receive. These die cut sponges are just adorable, that it would almost be a shame to use them to wash a mound of dirty dishes. However they are indeed practical and will certainly get you out of a pinch if you don\u2019t intend on making a special trip to the shop.<\/span>\n\n\n\nWhere or where was this several weeks back during the big Irish heat wave! Honestly could have done with this a while back. So we now move onto the Sumikko Gurashi part of our July box, with this electric hand fan. This fan would be the perfect accessory to accompany you on a trip during a hot summer's day. It\u2019s design is made to resemble an ice cream cone, with the characters of Sumikko Gurashi acting as the toppings. All you do is slide the cover over to reveal the fan, with a switch on the side to turn it on. Hopefully I can get better use out of this next year!<\/span>\n\n\n\nAnd now we end with our final item, a Little Twin Stars plush. You could have gotten either Kiki or Lala in your July box, both of which are dressed in their light Summery Yukatas. Of which you can see I got Kiki in his blue yukata. This quality looking plush is well made, no loose threads or fabric. Well stuffed and stitched together. This could even be safe for young children to have. It is also a lovely addition for all plush collectors.<\/span>\n\nThere we have it folks, that was Julys\u2019 SoKawaii box. This month had a good mix of items, from a seasonal plush, a hand fan, a Pok\u00e9mon pouch and some homeware 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>\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)<\/span>\n\nBetter 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 July\u2019s box, then just wait for August\u2019s!

\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

<\/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

<\/p>\n

<\/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

<\/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

<\/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

<\/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

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.

\u201cSpring Time, Happy Time!\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Hello everyone, I am back once again with another SoKawaii box to review. This time I have May\u2019s box, which focuses on Spring Time. With a number of items dedicated to making your homelife that bit more kawaii, with merch from Sanrio, Studio Ghibli and San-X. So let\u2019s get started with information on who SoKawaii is!<\/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

<\/p>\n

So our first item this month is one I have longed to own - a Kuromi plush! This adorable plush mascot comes in her very own maid outfit, all set for the big Spring Clean. With an outfit that would fit right in with any maid caf\u00e9 in Japan, Kuromi has a matching headband and bows as well. This officially licensed mascot comes straight from Sanrio, however she won\u2019t be in every May box as there is also a My Melody version that could also be included. This was obviously the best item from the box this month for me!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Moving on to our second Sanrio item, which is a magnetic hook featuring a number of Sanrio\u2019s most iconic characters. There were two designs available for this product, as it is unusual to find a magnetic hook as it leaves very few places to actually use it. Mine ended up being attached to the side of my cooker, so I can hang up my oven glove. It really makes you think, how many places have you in your home that you can actually attach a magne.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Next up is our kitchenware items for this month, which include a bowl and chopsticks. The bowl is actually made from bamboo fiber, which makes it more eco friendly than plastic and is also food safe. It even includes a fun looking Sumikkogurashi design on the inside, which will make a lovely little surprise for when you are done eating your food. Now I wouldn\u2019t suggest putting this in a dishwasher, as it could either ruin the design or it mightn\u2019t be suitable for high temperatures. Best keep with the old fashion way and wash it by hand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Accompanying this bowl is two sets of chopsticks, featuring everyone's favourite My Neighbor Totoro from Studio Ghibli. These 21cm chopsticks (which I don\u2019t really know they came in different sizes), are decorated at the top by the lovable character. Perfect for sharing a meal, or having as a back up.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Our final item this month comes once again from San-X with this super soft Rilakkuma pillow. This pillow is in fact more of a cushion, going by the size and shape. It\u2019s quite soft, but not very \u2018plump\u2019 as though it could have done with some more stuffing for a more firm cushion. However if it was, it may not have fitted inside the box! This cushion of course has two \u2018faces\u2019 to it, with Rilakkumas\u2019 face taking up the entirety of one side with flowers printed on the corners. The opposite side is more sparse, with a beautiful background filled with sakura petals and flowers. With Rilakkuma enjoying a Dango and Korilakkuma sitting beside him in the corner. We also have the little chick Kiiroitori sitting on top of a flower in the top corner. It really does make for a lovely throw pillow, but practicality not so much as there are so many warnings on the label that this cushion can never be machine washed. So once again, make sure and wash this one by hand if you need to.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There we have it folks, that was Mays\u2019 SoKawaii box. Very Sanrio and San-X heavy in the merch, with a good mix of items. 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

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

It\u2019s theme is \u201cDreamy Creatures\u201d, which will feature a number of items from Sanrio, Kirby, My Neighbour Totoro and Pok\u00e9mon.

\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. 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>\n\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.

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!

This months\u2019 box theme is \u201cSuper Kawaii Squad\u201d and features an interesting mix of items from Sailor Moon, Sanrio, San-X and PreCure. With two household items inside, we also have an unusual \u2018stationery\u2019 item and some collectable figures to add to your display cases. This month\u2019s box has got it all! So let\u2019s get the company description out of the way, shall we!<\/span>\n\nSoKawaii 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 6 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 -<\/span> https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\n\n\n\nFirst up, we have our household item which is perfect for the bathroom. With the Pompompurin Foaming Soap Dispenser, which is perfect for the bags of refillable liquid soap you can purchase in Lidl. Now as to how it creates the foam, I\u2019m unsure. As I haven\u2019t used this dispenser enough yet to see it fully working. Now Pompompurin is the only version available, which mightn\u2019t be to everyone's taste. I myself would have much preferred a Kuromi one! It\u2019s a plastic bottle at the end of the day, so it will last for quite some time, but it does look like something that would be bought rather cheaply.<\/span>\n\n\n\nOur second item this month is a small cat plush. Much similar to the ones we have gotten in the past, when we received the Tanuki & Kitsune plush range in last August\u2019 box. This very cute, fluffy and almost TsumTsum like sized plush is from the \u201cFunwari Korokoro Nayanko Neko '' plush range. Now I love these small plushies, so easy to stack and display in small spaces. I now have a small pyramid of these small plushies, so its very satisfying to look at them. The most adorable detail to these plushies, is that they all have a small black butthole sewn onto them! It\u2019s both hilarious and cute! There are six different cats available in this collection, with one supplied at random in every box this month.<\/span>\n\nUp next is our San-X item, which is a \u201cRilakkuma Friends Blind Box Figure\u201d, which has 6 different characters available. Now these items are rather large and are made of a hard plastic material that reminds me a lot of those bath toy figures you may have had as a child, that used to squirt water out of their months. Now they are hollow inside, but the detail is quite good and has a decent paint job. They are also fully licensed figures, as they are made by Bandai.<\/span>\n\n\n\nThe next item we have this month is a rather unusual one. As we have a \u201cMy Melody Adhesive Mirror set\u201d, which are basically reflective stickers that you can attach to the back of your phone, notebooks etc. Advertised as a \u2018handy mirror\u2019, for those quick touch ups. Now I don\u2019t see why they are saying that you can place it on the back of your phone, when in fact practically all mobile phones these days have a front and rear facing camera - making this item absolutely pointless. Unless you are a young girl that hasn\u2019t come of age yet to have the responsibility of a phone. Either way, this item is definitely aimed at a much younger generation compared to the people that actually subscribe to this box. It\u2019s more of a cheap filler item in my opinion.<\/span>\n\n\n\nNext up is our PreCure item! From the show \u201cHealin' Good♥Pretty Cure\u201d, comes this high quality melamine spoon. A rather large one at that, which is perfect to eat all of those deserts with. It\u2019s also a good rice spoon as well. It\u2019s also perfect for just displaying. With three designs available at random in March\u2019s box.<\/span>\n\n\n\nNow onto our final item this month, the one that has certainly made the box well worth the subscription cost! Each box for March received one of the five designs of the recently released Sailor Moon Q posket figures. Which featured Sailor Moon, Chibi Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Venus. Sailor Moon is all the rage at the moment due to the recent release of the Sailor Moon Eternal movies, which this collection is named after. Q Poskets are \u2018unusual\u2019 looking figures, made to bring attention to the eyes and large scale heads attached to the figures, mostly known as the chibi figure range. Which have been made by Banpresto. Although not entirely my cup of tea, as I prefer figures that are closer to the character design in the anime than chibi designs such as these, I was ecstatic to see that I actually got Sailor Moon in my box!<\/span>\n\n\n\nAnd that has been March\u2019s So Kawaii box! 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\n\n\nSo 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>\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)<\/span>\n\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\n\nhttp:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\n\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of March\u2019s box, rest assured that the items are different every month, for the most part. Each box has 5 to 6 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through SoKawaiis\u2019 social media as the weeks go by. April\u2019s box theme is \u201cFull Bloom Sakura\u201d, which will feature goods from Pok\u00e9mon and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\n\nhttps:\/\/www.sokawaii.com\/<\/a>","post_title":"SoKawaii March 2021 Box Review","post_excerpt":"I am back once again","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-march-2021-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-10-08 16:11:24","post_modified_gmt":"2022-10-08 15:11:24","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=206081","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":206039,"post_author":"5","post_date":"2021-03-15 16:37:06","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-15 16:37:06","post_content":"Although February\u2019s box was slightly late in arriving due to a delay on one of the items, it was still very much welcomed. Hello and welcome back again everyone, to another SoKawaii Box unboxing. ( Which is still not sponsored !)<\/span>\n\nFebruary\u2019s theme was all about love and self care, instead of the traditional Valentine's Day celebrations in Japan where the girls give chocolates to the boys they fancy. We have products from San-X, Pok\u00e9mon, Sumikkogurashi and Hello Kitty. We have a large plush bag, some hair accessories and a cookie mould. So let\u2019s get started with the usual important bits of info!<\/span>\n\nSoKawaii 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.

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>\n\n\n\nOur first item this month is a large plush hand bag from San-X. This adorable cream Korilakkuma shoulder bag is super soft, has a rather large inside pocket that will at least fit your phone and purse, as well as actually being a quick pillow if need be. I would have preferred a Rilakkuma bag instead, as this version is sure to get marks on it very quickly if using it out & about. However it is perfect for those that enjoy dressing up as lolithas\u2019 for conventions and such, otherwise it will be nice to display it at home. The only issue is that we have already gotten plenty of bags in various sizes in the last number of months, and it\u2019s becoming a bit repetitive. I for one, which there was an option given to subscribers who may want to option out a bag for a plush or ReMent figure as an alternative.<\/span>\n\n\n\n\n\nOur Second item is from Pok\u00e9mon, with this blush pink Pikachu hair brush from the \u201cGirly Collection\u201d. Now I have REALLY long hair, so I need a good hairbrush to tackle it every day. Now I haven\u2019t started using it yet, but this cute design is well worth adding into my routine. It\u2019s pretty sturdy and is actually much larger than what I was expecting, this could easily have been in and around 12 to 15euro if you were to buy that in the Pok\u00e9mon store I say. It also never hurts to have a second hairbrush around!<\/span>\n\n\n\n\n\nMoving on to our third item, we have a pair of Hello Kitty hair ties. Now these remind me of the bobble hair ties I used to have as a kid, that if you were unlucky, they would whack you in the head when you were putting them on. They felt like you got hit with a rock, and they didn't just hit you once! Although they were adorable, they were a b**** to get on! Also kind of wondering, what age demographic is SoKawaii aiming for really? As I imagine most of the subscribers have to be between 16 and 30, and even then I doubt many of them will be wearing their hair in pigtails with these hair ties. They are cute all the same, but are definitely aimed at little girls.<\/span>\n\nOur fourth item is a Sumikko Gurashi headband. Made of towel like material, this is actually going to be pretty handy for people that are doing their skin care routine and wish to keep their bangs off of their face. I imagine it would also be handy to have on right after you have a shower too. This item was available in two designs: Shirokuma or Neko.<\/span>\n\n\n\nOur fifth and final item for this box, is a Gudetama Cookie Mould. This is probably the closest we are going to get this month to an actual Valentines day gift. This baking mould is a two pack cookie cutter featuring the laziest egg mascot of all time - Gudetama. What would have been a nice touch, would have been an actual recipe we could use these for!<\/span>\n\nSo this month\u2019s box has been a bit of a mixed bag really. With yet another large bag to add to the collection, a pair of hair ties that could cause a concussion, and even a pair of cookie moulds that are just going to remind me of breakfast. For those, this months\u2019 box has been a gold mine. For myself, it wasn\u2019t really worth it as the majority of the items are really no use to me in my life. But I am sure to find a good home for them amongst friends and family. 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\n\n\nSo here is the price breakdown of the box each month and the savings you can get.

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)3 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)<\/span>\n\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\n\nhttp:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\n\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of February\u2019s box, rest assured that the items are different every month, for the most part.
