Littlest Pet Shop has released a couple different tableware sets (and individual dishes) over the years! How cool is this vintage Kenner dish set on the left? Judging by the 1994 releases of multiple Tonka/Kenner LPS dishes, such as mugs and water bottles, I'd guess this particular set pictured above came out around 1996. It includes a plate, bowl, and mug, with Kenner releasing children's utensils separately.

For comparison, check out this '94 Tonka egg cup from the UK, vs this 2008 Australian exclusive Hasbro egg cup!

Now, the pink/blue dish set on the right is from 2007, and I want it SO BAD! It's very rare and I've only managed to find it once, for $80, which I couldn't justify at the moment. 😅 I absolutely adore the use of the persian cat and border collie in promo art, so this set really draws me in. This set features a plate, a cup, and utensils, unlike this next mealtime set from 2008, which I actually own.

The picture on the right is mine! This adorable set comes from France, and includes a plate and cup too, but this time with the addition of a bowl.... but no utensils. Someone sell me LPS utensils. 😭😭😭

Here are some close ups.

These dishes are very hard to find, and once again, I'm obsessed with how often Hasbro featured promotional art of persian cat #460 in their products. She's the perfect face for these purrfect dishes!

Here are some more dishes released by Hasbro and Kenner! Including a unique tea set from 2008, a Kenner spoon and fork pair, and a mug flaunting the UK version of the Littlest Pet Shop logo.

All of this tableware is super interesting and fun, but very rare, so I'm excited to see if Hasbro releases similar merchandise in 2025.

Littlest Pet Shop has created a couple different diaries! From hard plastic digital diaries that open to the sound of your voice, to paperback journals encased in soft plush covers, secured with a lock and key. Hasbro even released a separate line of LPS paperback journals, "Doodle Diaries", accompanied by stickers and fuzzy bookmarks.

But this unique diary isnt plastic, or even paper, the entire thing is purely plush.

From 2008, the "My Secret Pillow" unzips for you to flip through it's soft cloth pages. Despite the zipper, it also features a lock and key for additional security. (But it lacks blank pages, and the age appropriate prompts don't leave much room for sensitive confessions or juicy secrets. So how necessary is the lock, really? XD)

This diary features 5 pages fulls of prompts, asking you to write about yourself, your friends, and your favorite pets.

There are additional pages without prompts, like a party planner, a coloring sheet, and a checklist of some G1 and G2 pets. (Which oddly includes pets that were created for promotional purposes, and never became actual toys??? More about this at the end lol)

This diary includes 2 more pages consisting of 8 plastic sleeves for storing your pets, accessories, photo cards, or post cards!

It is a truly unique (and hard to find!) piece of Littlest Pet Shop merchandise. Though, what's most interesting to me about it is the use of the Push 'n Play kitten #493 in the logo on the front of the diary. I don't think I've ever seen promotional art of her before! Such a unique and fun pet, it's nice to see her getting some time in the spotlight.

This shorthair featured on the checklist is not a real pet! It has been used in promotional art only. It resembles a shorthair from Gen 1, #138. I'd be inclined to believe it's supposed to be 138, but this checklist is mostly G2 with a couple pets from late G1 (like horse #403, and the white scholastic mouse that doesn't have a number, but came out in very late G1). Their designs are also pretty different, the promo cat having gray front legs, white ears, and a more defined white muzzle. My guess is it's a prototype/draft of 138's design. It looks exactly like a gray version of the purple shorthair #2094.

There are a couple other pets I don't recognize, like the gray (blue-ish?) rabbit at the bottom. Neither of the standing rabbit molds in G1 and G2 have a grey design where the hair is darker than the body! It looks like this G3 rabbit that came out about a year after the release of the pillow, so why it would be in the checklist is beyond me. (⁠´⁠-⁠﹏⁠-⁠`⁠；⁠) This art is actually of the v1 standing rabbit mold, but I didn't find any that resembled it enough to include.

Unboxed photos of the diary came from this listing on ebay. So thanks to Dawn for letting me use her cool pictures, her listing is still active as of 03-01-25, so go check it out if you're interested!
