It’s been over a year since I reviewed the Kawaii Box, which has recently been renewed. Both the box and website were redesigned with a logo from Tado and kawaii illustrations from ChiChi. I’m a fan of both designers and think they did a great job.

Based on customer feedback, Blippo has also lowered the prices and added more variety. They asked me if I would like to check out the new box and I was happy to do so. Oh, do read on to the end for a giveaway of the brand new kawaii box!

The box has got a make-over with a new pattern, resulting in a cuter look. The pink is a bit more neon IRL.

The box now comes with a booklet (with illustrations from ChiChi), with details on all the items in the box. I think the booklet is a very nice and useful addition. This month’s theme is Summer Festival, so let’s see if the content brings us sunny vibes.

This Sanrio pyoconoru hanging plush was the first item that caught my eye. I was glad to receive Badtz Maru, because I do like his grumpy face. This plush should be able to hang from any ledge, such as the edge of a desk or monitor. Batz Maru wasn’t in the mood for any hanging though, he only wants to lie down. I’m fine with that, it’s a well made small and soft plush and I can recommend getting one to lounge on your desk.

This Hello Kitty paper tape is a welcome addition to my ever growing washi tape collection. I’m sure I can put it to good use in my bullet journal.

Next up are the syringe and flamingo pens. The syringe highlighter pen is very nice, it easily creates a straight line and gives plenty of (neon) colour. The flamingo multicolor pen looks pretty, but because of the large barrel I find it very difficult to write with.

Yes, Gudetama fitness stickers, do I need to say more? These stickers are so much fun and actually resemble me during a work-out (including the drooling).

This DIY whipped cream cupcake kit looks so cute. I have yet to try it out, you can find a tutorial on the Kawaii Box blog. At first I was confused by the blue clay, thinking it was meant for the cupcakes, but this is for the drinks. The cupcakes are created with whipped cream and you get to decorate them with the tiny fruit slices.

Every monthly box includes kawaii beauty accessories and Harajuku fashion essentials. I discovered kawaii unicorn nail stickers and hair ties in my package. The hair ties should resemble donuts, but IMHO they look a bit more fruity.

Watermelon is a popular fruit snack during the summer in Japan. These Kabaya watermelon gummies shaped like melon slices do invoke a summery feeling. The taste actually resembles watermelon and it’s not super sweet. The main ingredient of this candy is sugar though, so I’d advise you not to eat the whole pack at once (^_-)-☆.

The mochi squeeze toy charm is my least favorite item of the July box. The Mochi looked a bit dirty and squeezing it felt super weird. The sensation was what I imagine squeezing a cold jellyfish would feel like :sick:. The mochi was also hard to squeeze, not as soft as a regular squishy.

Kawaii Box Pricing and Shipping

The price for a Kawaii Box ranges from $17.90 to $19.90 a month, with free worldwide shipping. The total amount of the items in this July box was $29.90, so I think you get a good value for the price. There were a couple of items I would not purchase myself, such as the mochi toy and flamingo pen, but these would make nice gifts. Once a box has been shipped you’ll receive an e-mail with tracking number. My box arrived in about 15 days (to the Netherlands).

P.S. If you’d like to buy anything directly on Blippo, you can use the code KAWAIILOVE for a 10% discount.
