May(???) 2015 Kawaii Box~!
It took me a little bit to finally get around to opening this box and though it may seem like I'm really late, for some reason the boxes are now a month behind. But! Let me say this month was one of the best Kawaii Box months I've had. I've been a little 'meh' on it the past few months but this one totally won me over again. Many little details that they changed or added made this box a winner.
First of all, this is much appreciated!
They have finally added the items that are in the box to the card. This is a very welcome addition for the items that I may have been unsure of. And though this is a very minor detail, I like that their tissue paper has the words Kawaii Box on them now. Doesn't add much in the grand scheme of things but it's a nice touch.
First item is this Okitoki Notebook Set
I don't know this characters but the notebook set seems to be of nice quality. It comes with a pen and the stencil on the back is a nice addition. The pages are decorated in theme of the character.
Value of 5.90
Meiji Petit Gum
Flavour seems to be soda. The little cartoons on it are very cute.
Value of 4.90
(though this seems slightly high)
Rilakkuma Mini Letter Set
I love Rilakkuma so this was a nice item! Comes with a few sheets of paper, two envelopes (though one of my envelopes is very faded) and two stickers. Very cute little set.
Value of 2.00
Chocolate Bar Comb
At first I didn't know what this was and I assumed it was a pill case but it's plastic and it holds a little comb and mirror. Very cute and practical item! I really like this one and it will be a welcome addition in my bag. I might deco it as well.
Value of 3.30
Alpaca Stickers
SO CUTE! I love these. There's so many different little alpacas and sheeps and the little diagrams behind them are very adorable. I don't even want to use them 'cause they're too cute.
Value of 1.60
Sweet Crepe Charm
This item is really cute. From past experiences with these deco charms in the Kawaii Box, they usually had a very bad smell to them. I was pleasantly surprised that this had no scent at all! The texture of the crepe actually feels crepe-like.
Value of 1.80
Neon Bow Hair Band
Not what I'd consider cute, but it's a practical item so I don't hate it.
Value of 1.80
Alpaca Eraser
For year of the sheep (2015)! Very cute and though you can't see it well, it is sparkly but kind of has a slightly funny texture. Kinda sticky without actually being sticky. A little hard to explain. Still a nice item.
Value of 1.90
Panda Colour Pen
I actually didn't use this yet so I'm not sure what colour it is. The design on it is very cute and it seems like a nice quality pen so I like it. Cannot find it on the site itself but I assume it's the same price as all of the other pens.
Value of 1.60
Banana Mini Plush
Very cute! Seems well made and has a :3 expression on it's face. I don't really have anything for it to match with but I'm sure I'll find a use for this charm.
Value of 3.30
Doughnut Squishy Charm
Hello Kitty squishy! Cute. To be honest though, I'm not a huge fan of these squishies with sprinkles on it. They end up falling off and going everywhere. The little hole in the middle also seems to have a bit of excess squishyness. I like it but it will stay in it's little plastic bag for now.
Value of 3.40
Last but not least! Alpaca Card Holder
Normally I am not a fan of these card holders since I really have no use for them but I actually love this one! The colours are adorable and the Alpaca is very, very cute! I am slightly disappointed that a little bit of white is missing from the face but oh well. I still really like this item and I'll find some sort of use for it.
Value of 7.90
Anyways, that is it~!
There was 12 items in this box this month and I feel like I definitely got my moneys worth. I think nearly everything is a very cute and/or practical item that I can see myself using. I was really happy with the amount of Alpaca items. I am definitely looking forward to June's box. I am still getting used to the boxes being a month behind, very weird to me! Also, I say cute too times in this post.
