kawaiibox
Hi everyone! I'm back with a review for KawaiiBox, a monthly subscription box full of cute goodies run by Blippo *-* Each month's box can be filled with 10-12 items handpicked from the following categories: stickers, snacks, notebooks, pens, DIY kits, plush toys, assorted stationery, and squishies! I received their September Box (for reviewing purposes), but I promise that I will be fair and unbiased :)
You can order a KawaiiBox for $18.90 a month, but you can also purchase their 6 month plan ($17.90/month) or 12 month plan ($17.30/month)! They also have a blog with all of their previous boxes so you can see the variety of their stock ^^
September KawaiiBox contained the following items:
- Kabaya Fish Gummies
- Kawaii Foods Sticker Set
- Moomin Mini Pouch
- Fragrance Beans
- Cute Animal Greeting Card
- Neck Stretching Bunny Pen
- Kawaii Toast Squishy Charm
- DIY Bracelet Kit
- Alpaca Pouch
- Cute Egg Mini Plush
- Caplico Mini Ice Cream Candy
Kabaya Fish Gummies
These were my favorite item in the box!!! I'm a huge fan of gummies, and these were super tasty! I liked the slightly sweet and sour tang that both the yellow and peach fishes had. The peach fishes? were? pregnant? or something because there's a little pouch inside them OTL...The packaging is adorable and I really like how the bag is resealable so you can save some candy for later! I'm trying to cut down on eating too much sugar, so I just had these four ^^

Kawaii Foods Sticker Set
These were adorable! They were puffy stickers and I love squishing them. The back of the packaging had a cute little game (in Chinese so I could read some of it hahah....) I'm the type to hoard stickers for eternity because I hate ruining the original sheet ;; Who's the same as me??

Moomin Mini Pouch
This was a little coin purse with the character Moomin, who happens to be one of my favorites! I'm planning on getting a Moomin shirt soon in the future huehue. It came stuffed with paper inside so it wouldn't get squished ^^ The outside of the pouch is fuzzy, and the zipper moves pretty fluidly. The only thing I didn't really like were the blue dots on the pouch around Moomin. (I have slight trypophobia, aka fear of holes, so it makes me slightly uncomfortable. DO NOT GOOGLE THIS WORD OKAY DO NOT GOOGLE YOU WILL BE ASSAULTED WITH PHOTOSHOPPED PICTURES OF DISGUSTINGNESS I'M SERIOUS PLEASE DON'T DO THIS)

Fragrance Beans
Okay... I wasn't too impressed with these. Because honestly, fragrance beads? Come on. The packaging is cute (I have a soft spot for lions now even though I used to dislike them because they "usurped the tiger's rightful place as king of the jungle" LMAO) The smell reminds me of this melon ice cream bar that I used to eat in China, which was nice, but it has an undertone of processed plastic.

Cute Animal Greeting Card
I love polar bears, and this card is so cute! I love how it has so many colors and the overall pink theme (pink is growing back on me like a fungus) Although Happy Day sounds slightly weird, I'm glad because that means I can give this away as more than just a birthday or thank you card :)
---
Neck Stretching Bunny Pen
(sorry for icky and ugly lighting OTL;; I'll fix this when I have time, but check the last item for a better picture of this pen!) This pen surprised me omg?? I thought it was defective at first, but after I read the card I realized... it was... made like this on purpose???? It writes pretty well, like the pens I got off of aliexpress ^^

Toast Squishy Charm
Cute!!!! I remember buying some bread squishies in China and I have no idea where they went;;; I loved them as a kid and I'm glad to get a replacement from KawaiiBox. Pet peeve was weird heat lines though; they looked like forehead wrinkles LOL.
---
DIY Bracelet Kit
Eh, I'm not that big on DIY bracelets anymore. I loved these back when I was in elementary school, so I'll probably gift it to my cousin or one of the kids I babysit ^^ It is very cute though, and honestly I remembering treasuring my heart beads LOL.
---
Alpaca Pouch
(Text says Docile ovis aries. life is simple, it's just not easy.) I googled searched this.. and apparently it says "docile domestic sheep" or something LMFAO. The green alpaca is quite adorable, although I would have rather had almost any other color alpaca ;____; Still, it's a good quality pouch, and I'll use it as a backup pencil case or maybe a makeup holder!
---
Cute Egg Mini Plush
Second favorite item in this entire box!! This mini plush toy was super soft to touch and just adorable ;___; It reminds me of a Pokemon figurine my cousin gave me - a Togepi! I'm definitely hanging this on my backpack aldkfjkj
---
Caplico Mini Ice Cream Candy
Compared to the deliciousness of the gummies, this candy fell slightly short, but it still tasted very good. The"ice cream" melts on your tongue, and the cone is rather fun to eat. It's an adorable treat, but I wish it had sprinkles or some more color;; (Also, better picture of the pen here!)

Overall, I really have to thank Mika, who corresponded with me over email ^^ She was very clear and helpful! KawaiiBox also sent me a tracking number for both SingPost and USPS! My experience with KawaiiBox was great, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who likes small cute items :DD Thank you for reading~

rambles;
i enjoy music in general, the smell of old books, the smell of new books, cracking the spine of a new book open, hilarious things, things that make me cry from sheer emotion, sad fics and dramas, cheesy dramas, baggy sweaters, pretty pictures, having that moment of inspiration before writing a story and being satisfied with the outcome, sleeping, running on no sleep, ice cream cake for birthdays, putting up my christmas tree by myself, cool lemonade, rainy cold days, drizzles on your face, action movies, unlimited amounts of piping! hot noodles and dumplings and wontons, minimalistic furniture, laughing at friends who are shorter than me, having deep conversations with strangers, muted colors, going through color pallets at diy stores, choosing yarn and looking through projects, drinking bubble tea, going to froyo stores, that moment when I finally draw something the way I imagined it, baking tasty sweets, cute stuffed plush toys, the smell of the ocean, fruit, good wuxia drams, some anime, the feeling of collapsing on the mattress after a long day, baggy sweaters, ice cream cake for birthdays, the tranquility of night, pretty pictures, cute cellphone charms, the tranquility of night, funny japanese emoticons, when everything is organized, when everything is disorganized, when my clothes match and don’t make me look like an overgrown middle schooler, when I actually don’t expect a plot twist, when I can’t predict what will happen next, overgrown kittens, energetic puppies, and being able to choose when to laugh.
