I’ve recently been getting more into kawaii themed items, specifically kawaii stationery. There aren’t many physical UK stores selling decent stationery (anyone else bored of Paperchase and WH Smiths?!) and I’m constantly getting jealous of the goodies some US bloggers find! Target dollar bin especially.
However, I recently came across the Kawaii Box subscription service. The boxes contain surprise goodies from Japan and Korea and are delivered monthly. The June box contained some great kawaii stationery and little trinkets.
The burger sticker went on G’s plate when it was turkey burger night in our house!
I also frequent The Idea Owl’s feed on Instagram. Donna allows you to put a package together by commenting on items you wish to add. It’s a dangerous way to shop, but the items are too good to miss.
Page markers are a must for my Filofax and if they are sweet themed I’m happy.
I think I will never grow out of my sticker obsession.
I like to keep my writing paper collection well stocked.
Donut sticky notes?! Yes please. I also got some Rilakkuma post it notes but I cannot find where I put them!
I also recently topped up my craft punch collection as Hobbycraft had a great sale. The mini pencil stapler was about £1 from Staples. Did you see my recent post with tips on how to sharpen craft punches?
This little fella was in the Kawaii box. Too cute. I’m sure if I ever visit Japan I will need to save for a year, just to buy stationery and plushies.
Pocky
The subscription box also included some pretty lace shoe laces. I think they look pretty nifty in my mint converse, don’t you?
Have you found any good Kawaii stationery stores? Please share in the comments below. As if I need any more excuses to shop!
Toodles!
Oooh some great finds Claire – love the donut stickies! When in London I always try to swing by Artbox, which is never great for my bank balance! They’re online too artbox.co.uk x

Ooh yes I love artbox too!
I need to get on this Kawaii box list! It’s so hard to find decent Kawaii in the UK 🙁 I was lucky enough to have an aunt working in Japan to send me back random things she found (and now I have friends there too) so I have a slow stream of supplies filtering through – but not enough! I have a serious addiction to things with faces that shouldn’t have faces…!
Did you see there’s a Hyper Japan event at Earls Court at the end of the month? I’m considering heading down there to see if there’s any cuteness available! (I say “to see”… I know full well there will be and that my bank balance will suffer :P)

I need to make friends with your aunt! Have fun at Hyper Japan x
This is absolutely fab! I loveeeee all these kawaii stationeries – they simply brighten one’s day! Sending them out is a joy, receiving them – even better! I’m off to some stationery shopping and love-sending spree when I’m done with my submission next week! 😛 Such a lovely inspirational post (kawaii-wise)! Aha! 😀 Xx

Hope your submission went well! Happy kawaii shopping x
Considering getting rid of my graze box subscription in favour of a kawaii box one now!
Stationery is waaaay better than raisins. Fact.
Discoverd your blog via http://bikepretty.com/. I love your site. I love Yellowstone Art Boutique at Trentham gardens, used to be a place I frequented often since it was close to home. Keep up the lovely blog. Can’t wait to hear more about Cambridge and your stationery hauls.

Wow – the kawaii box subscription service sounds amazing. Whenever I go back to Japan I always stock up on mountains of stationary. Haven’t really found a good place to buy in the UK yet but always looking….
