The Get List: Toreba: Sumikko Gurashi Projector Light x2 + Giveaway!

In which I get a lucky win and pass the luck on.

Magazine: Oekaki Parfait Stamp Pen Ippai Mook

In which my shameless weakness to Sumikko cuteness is at perhaps an all-time high.

Sumikko Gurashi: Tonkatsu & Ebi Furai no Shippo Fan Book

In which we celebrate Tonkatsu and Ebi Furai no Shippo even more than usual around here.

Sumikko Gurashi: Re-Ment Sumikko Gurashi Super de Otsukai

In which I miss normal shopping still, but the Sumikko cheer me up like always. I think I mentioned in my past entry I had gotten ensconced in a big project taking up my whole craft room, and it’s organizing my Re-ment collection. I’m a big believer in playing with my toys as opposed to […]

Magazine: Kirapichi August 2020

In which we get a Sanrio character poll, a ton of cool character coverage, enough dinosaurs to rend my wallet into shreds, and a couple of nifty furoku. I’m back with another really sweet issue of a kid’s magazine, this time the August 2020 issue of Kirapichi. This magazine is aimed at older elementary school […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Ebi Furai no Shippo + Tonkatsu Okigae Agekko Plush

In which we have an unboxing and a half. I’ve been spoiled (and my money devastated) by the recent Sumikko Gurashi designs! Lately they’ve gotten me with lots of Tokage with dreamy colors and then the Age Age Agekko lineup starring the fried characters that are my very favorites. (I thought I might get off […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Whipple

In which I try to do crafts, and we all know how that goes, but somehow things turn out pretty nifty nonetheless. Hopefully I haven’t fooled any readers into thinking I’m some sort of crafts wizard, what with my skilful application of stickers and such, but I am in fact pretty consistently bad — and […]

Candy Toys and Miniatures: Re-Ment: Uki-Uki! Sumikko My Room

In which I gripe some here and there, but ultimately love this collection. It feels like a while since I’ve written about Sumikko Gurashi! Two of my favorite things in the world are, of course, Sumikko, and Re-Ment miniatures. So it’s always an especial pleasure to open up a new Re-Ment set with a Sumikko […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Age Age Agekko Lunch Plush Set

In which the lunch definitely isn’t free, but it’s a hell of a meal nonetheless. There’s something to say for all of the Sumikko and Minikko — there’s no favorite that surprises me. Love Neko’s sweet worried nature or Zassou’s positivity or Tokage’s love for his mom or Nisetsumuri’s shame over his identity the best? […]

Magazine: Oekaki Hime July 2020

In which we find a whole pile of Hime, and just when we can’t tell which one is which we get distracted by fun furoku. These Hime publications seem to have no end! There are so many of them, all titles ending with ひめ (hime means princess). There’s Jewel Hime, Kisekae Hime (kisekae can mean […]
