Subscription boxes have gotten popular lately, presumably following the success of boxes such as Lootcrate. Now there are a wide range of boxes including anything from makeup products to healthy snacks, kawaii goodies to Asian food. I have a review of the Kawaii Box, which is run by the company Blippo (not to be confused by other boxes of a similar name)
"Kawaii Box is the cutest monthly subscription service. Subscribe Now and receive a box filled with hand-picked kawaii items from Japan and Korea directly to your home every month. Your box will be shipped in the beginning of each month and the shipping is absolutely free, anywhere on the planet! Each box includes 10-12 cute, original and licensed kawaii items."
I have reviewed Blippo previously, and you can read that review here. They asked me if I would like to review their new product, the Kawaii Box, and of course I accepted! They've also allowed me to host a giveaway to win next month's box, more details of that at the end of this post~
The Kawaii Box is $18.90 a month, and that includes free international shipping, which to me is good value. I know of other kawaii subscription boxes, but they don't ship internationally, so one that ships free is pretty amazing. The website says you get 10-12 items in each box, I assume depending on the size of them, and you can also see what was included in previous boxes to get an idea of the types of items you could receive.
Anyway, onto the actual box! I've already taken my address off the box, but I wanted to show how cute the box looked, with the hand drawn chibi on it! I received the box around 2 weeks after they sent it.
The contents are all wrapped up neatly, and there was a handwritten card on top thanking me. As you can see I received the June box.
Opening the box you can see straight away the octopus plushie!
It's really soft and cute!
Next is a pen with a geisha doll on top, it has black ink and writes really nice~
Next is a cute pill box, but I'll probably use it to hold small craft supplies
Each compartment opens separately, so it would also be useful for liquid clay icing when making clay cakes or something xD
Next is this cute comb, which will be useful to keep in my bag
I kind of want to put rhinestones on all the polka dots!
Then there was a phone decoration sticker, I might stick this on a phone case rather than onto my phone, or maybe even cut it up to use when crafting
I noticed there was a rhinestone missing but it's probably in the packet
Next I received this Korilakkuma phone charm
I'm not 100% sure if this is licensed or not, but it's still cute!
No kawaii box is complete without Pocky! I'm so happy there was food in the box, and I love Pocky haha!
Next there were these super cute shoelaces! I've never seen laces made from actual lace~ I'll have to find a cute pair of shoes to put them on
Next is a moustache double ring, pretty simple but fairly cute
And lastly there were these large bread themed puffy stickers! You know I love stickers, and these will be useful for resin charms too
There was also this cute leaflet in the bottom of the box
So this is everything I received in my kawaii box, there were 10 items altogether, and as each item is available on the Blippo website I added up all the prices and the total was $32.80! Which means the subscription price of $18.90 is pretty worth it~
I'd have liked to have seen more licensed or character products in the box, but overall I think it's pretty neat, and a nice surprise to have each month.
