Melissa to Stiles: „Why are you climbing through Scott’s window, Stiles?“

Stiles: „Because you wouldn’t let me in otherwise. Duh.“

Cutie Reviews: Kawaii Box August 18

After doing all of those beauty and gacha boxes, I’ve really missed these others one. I’m so glad to be reviewing Kawaii Box again!

Remember, if you like anything in this review or would be interested in seeing what they have, visit Blippo.com to check them out. They’re constantly adding new items and it’s all for very reasonable prices.

This months theme: Too Cute For School!

This months word: Empitsu - Pencil

So this month, the theme focuses on school and cute items that not only look kawaii, but are also functional for most part!

Let’s see how they did!

Sumikko Gurashi Stickers

These little stickers are perfect for adding a touch of cuteness to a note, calendar, or planner. They range from small, to super-tiny. The other variation of these are $1.90 on Blippo.

Rating: ♥ ♥

As much as I love Sumikko Gurashi, and a lot of these stickers are ultra-cute, there’s a handful of problems with this one; a lot of them have a gold border or accent, which is pretty to look at- but as a result some of them have little bits of gold when they weren’t meant to, or they’re too covered in it or in the wrong placement. There is also one full sticker missing, and a weird diagonal line going through 4 of them, and part of what looks like a stickers lining on the side, but you can’t peel it off.

I mean everything is still usable, and a lot of them are fine- but that’s some bad quality control...

Namakemono No Makke Plushie

Next to Gudetama, a sloth is just as nice for those lazy days or those times when you need a pick-me-up. There is 4 available in this line by Amuse... and honestly, I don’t know which one I got <,<

The picture shows a pink, dark brown, brown, and white sloth. But Blippo has a different variety. If you’re interested though, the price has recently gone down to $4.45.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ 

It’s soft and squishy, but a little firm. It’s very cute, and I love how nice the claws feel. But like the stickers, I think there might have been a few problems; besides not being centered (for anybody triggered by things like that), you can very easily see the stitching seems in various places, and I noticed it’s right foot hangs longer than it’s left and points downward. I’m not sure if it was intentional or not, but it looks like he broke his leg.

Rainbow Pon-de-Ring Donut Squishy

I’ve been waiting to review this baby! This is a Blippo original item based on the pon-de-ring, the special one of a kind donut by Mister Donut, a brand exclusively in Japan. It’s available on the website for $2.90 in both this form and keychain form.

It’s not scented as far as I know, but I do pick up a small scent from it. It has a fast rising speed but it’s very soft, which is what I consider to be the most important detail- besides being cute.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

It’s very cute, and I love the color scheme and shape. The one complaint I have against it is that it has a messy lining, as you might be ale to see in the picture. The lining (outside and hole) is very... it looks like whoever cut the extra material off did a poor job. That’s probably the best I can explain it. The problem with trying to peel it off is that it also pulls off little bits of the color; so I’ll be finding my smallest pair of scissors to deal with this issue later.

Let’s see how long it takes for me to find an item that doesn’t have issues.

Unfortunately it isn’t the next one.

Yori Cook Mini Whiteboard

Yori Cook is a cute little series we’ve seen in this box before. I’m not really sure what it is though, other than knowing it’s by a brand called caramel popcorn, but it has a bunch of cute animals which is good enough for me.

So anyway, this is a cute whiteboard with a marker and a hole on top so that you can easily hang it up somewhere it’d be more accessible. It’s also double-sided, one side is bare (minus the drawings) while the other features a weekly schedule.

Besides this pink set, there is also yellow, green, and blue. It’s recently gone down to $2.25.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

I think it’s a cute idea, and I like that they included a hole for hanging. You could loop a string through it, or use a nail if you wanted to put it up. Or you could even carry it around with you (although that might get erased a lot sooner).

The only thing is, I wish they included a string or clasp to hold the marker. I don’t really blame them for that though because I noticed a lot of these miniature ones do that.

Koinobori Plush Charm

An exclusive plush only available for $2.90 on the Blippo website, coming in pink, yellow, and indigo. This is a cute, carp streamer-inspired charm that resembles those colorful windsocks Japan is known for having.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

It’s a firm plush, but it’s still soft and kinda cute. I’m not a fan of yellow (as many of you know), but I don’t actually hate it here. There’s no real problem with this as far as I can see; ironically this is the first item I don’t have any issues with.

Fruity Eraser & Never Stop Dreaming Notebook

First up is this fruity eraser, which includes a cute little roller to allow you to glide it around, but you can also just take it out and use it free-hand. There is a large, colorful variety of these, each for $1.60 on Blippo.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ 

The concept is cute, and the fruit slice is very nicely detailed, I wish it was scented~

I do have another problem though. You can’t see it in this picture, but the roller thingy on mine is broken. It keeps slipping out on the one side and doesn’t really roll for me. So it’s pretty much useless. The eraser works fine though.

Our other item is the Never Stop Dreaming notebook, it’s currently on sale for $1.95 on the website in four different colors, and there are other variations of it too.

The notebook pages are plain but the border has a design on it, which is kind of cute. It also has a band to hold it shut, and a ribbon page marker/bookmark,

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

It’s adorable, even though I’m not a fan of such tiny notebooks, it would come in handy and it’s small size makes it easy for travel or carrying around. Again, there is a small problem- I wish I was making this stuff up. I noticed a lot of pages in mine have a lot of these dirty looking speckles that i‘m pretty sure aren’t supposed to be there.

Kawaii Octopus Pen

Our next item is this super-adorable octopus ink pen. Available in a variety of pinks and blues on the blippo website, each is now on sale for $1.68.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

It’s not the most decorative pen we got from a box, but I love the cute little octopus on top~ it’s so sweet looking. It’s a typical ink pen otherwise, it writes smoothly.

Magical Unicorn Pencil Pouch

Available in four, magically inspiration designs featuring rainbows and unicorns; these are perfect for carrying the pen, eraser, and whiteboard marker we got- along with many other items!

It’s currently on sale for $2.95.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

Not only is it really cute looking, but you have a lot of room for holding classroom essentials. The seams and detail are fine, no issues there. I don’t really have much to say about this one, but after everything else that’s probably a good thing.

♥ Cutie Ranking ♥

Content - ♥ ♥ ♥  Everything was alright. I wasn’t really super-excited about anything besides the squishy and cute pen. 

Quality - ♥ ♥  I rarely ever actually have to use the quality part of this, but here we are... I don’t know if everyone’s was like mine, or if I was just the lucky person who got all the issues. The items are still usable as I’ve said, with the exception of that dinky roller.

Price -  ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥  Unlike the past few boxes, this one actually ended only being about a dollar more than what we pay ($20.33). Which isn’t bad at all.

Theme - ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ There’s no denying that they pretty much got it. There are like one or two items I don’t really see as school appropriate- but out of 9 items, that isn’t bad.

Total Rank: 13 out of 20 Cuties. I really wanted to like this box, and initially i did until I was forced to really look at it. Usually the quality is really good, so I was kind of disappointed I found so many little problems with a lot of the items.

♥ Cutie Scale ♥

1. Mini Whiteboard - In the end, I was kind of surprised this ended up being my favorite thing. I love the clear pink border it has, and each side is versatile and features cute designs, which I really like. If they had just included something to hold the marker, it’d be perfect!

2. Sumikko Gurashi Stickers - I admit that there are several issues with these, but at the same time they don’t entirely take away from the cuteness. I’ve never seen the group look so tiny~

3. Squishy - It might be a bit messy, but it’s ultra-soft and I love the semi-rainbow coloring effect. The booklet makes it look better than it actually is though.

4. Octopus Pen - It’s so sweet looking~ It makes me smile, and I love the pale pink color~

5. Unicorn Pencil Pouch - It’s sort of like the notebook, but the colors are much more vibrant and features a little more variety in terms of design and color options.

6. Fruit Eraser - I was surprised by the quality of the orange, especially in comparison to some of the other fruits, and the roller. I like the clear piece it attaches to too. 

7. Plush Charm - For me not to hate the yellow on something means it’s not that bad. I kind of like how the eye color stands out against the body color.

8. Notebook - It’s pastel designs make it look kind of elegant, rather than cute. I wish the pages had been a different color though, to make something stand out a bit more. The colors are kind of muted.

9. Namakemono Plush - As cute as it is, after looking at it for long it kind of reminds me of those partially bald baby birds...

Well, here we have it. We’ve come to the end of another review :3 I hope you guys found it enjoyable and semi-informative. Next up will be the Tokyo Treat august review, followed by Doki Doki crate.

Until then, stay cute!
