Sanrio


I'm not going to lie, the Asian girly girl fob in me loves Sanrio. You can say this love was fed throughout my childhood. I remember when I was little my sister and I would go to Shirokiya with my grandma and auntie, and my grandma would let us pick something from the Sanrio section (actually, maybe not so little because I recall my grandma kept doing this when I was still 14). This was before Sanrio Surprises or an actual Sanrio store, I swear the only places I could get my Hello Kitty fix was at Liberty House or Shirokiya. I also remember going crazy at Shirokiya's Sanrio Fair, and to this day I refuse to give up things I've made there such as... a hanky I colored, a dinosaur plush pin I "sewed" together, and sand art. Now days, I still frequent Sanrio for cute bento boxes, office supplies, etc. My favorite Hello Kitty items are my Hello Kitty blind box toys, my dad got for me at Urban Outfitters! Can you imagine how much money I'd wasted on Sanrio in Japan?!?
