Pokemon: Morpeko Pumpkin Party Poke Plush

In which I am pretty sure I couldn’t say that title three times fast, but I sure can snuggle this little friend! I just made my first purchase from the US Pokemon Center, and I am ridiculously pleased by the whole thing. They have free domestic shipping for orders over twenty dollars and my stuff […]

I Won a Liebster Award!

In which I’m almost speechless with thanks, but just almost. I’m still so new to blogging! I looked up my stats and as of today, I’ve been working on my little mooon blog here for just about three months and eighty posts, which seems like both a lot and not that many. So far, the […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Tapioca Park Notepads x2

In which we return again to the lovely Tapioca Park, knowing this won’t be our last visit. I’ve still got some Tapioca Park-themed items to show you–today, let’s look at the standard San-x six-inch-by-four inch notepad, with both of the variations since I couldn’t choose just one. How many times have I said I love […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Agekko Rubber Charm Set

In which, just like always, I don’t leave a single fried friend on my plate. I guess it’s good my life is simple in one way, at least — San-x releases Tonkatsu-heavy merchandise, I buy Tonkatsu-heavy merchandise, I write about it delightedly here, and then I go eat some forty cent dinner with my leftover […]

The Get List: Toreba: Hokkai no Majuu Azarashi-san Big Melon Pan Plush

In which you can’t go wrong with melon pan, especially when it comes with a great new seal friend. I’m so behind on writing about Toreba wins! It’s almost a shame when you get several together in a shipment because I feel like the individuals don’t get enough focus. But I wanted to devote a […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Omoshiro Fan (Dagashiya) + Room Mat (Issho ni Otamarikai)

In which we have two sweet little treats from the Sumikko gang at a bargain price. I was going through my iPad the other day and realized I had photographed some items for the site and got, predictably, distracted by something else and forgot all about them. So let’s have a double feature of two […]

San-x: Kireizukin Seikatsu Notepad (2009)

In which mole—PROFESSOR MOLE—character predecessors—I can’t be coherent—but wow! The other day when I was looking for notepads that Mr. B could use, I also ran across this one for a San-x character I always loved but never fully appreciated until now. And this deserves appreciation–there is a mole involved, after all. So let’s enjoy […]

Magazine: Oekaki Hime September 2020 + Sumikko Gurashi Stationery Furoku

In which the magazine is nice, but the furoku is a veritable pile of Sumikko amazingness. Here’s yet another kids’ magazine from Japan with yet another set of Sumikko Gurashi furoku that still manages to stick out from the competition just by being so plentiful. First, though, let’s discuss the magazine content for the September […]

San-x: Nyan Nyan Nyanko Nyankoland Notepad (2007)

In which I pull out some stationery and, as is typical, get all nostalgic. I have never really liked being a collector of things. While I love surrounding myself with cute things, I like using them, and if something doesn’t “bring joy,” so to speak (I know that’s overused, but I do still like the […]

The Get List: Toreba: Sumikko Gurashi Mug Cup w/ Lid

In which I get and review the very first Toreba prize I ever won — which, weirdly enough, showed up not that long ago. Toreba is — well, it’s Toreba. I’m not excessively ashamed to admit that earlier this year I played it way too much and spent way too much on it, and yet […]
