May Theme – Neko Purrrfect

From the maneki neko to cat shrines, to Aoshima “cat island”, cats have been a mainstay in Japan’s history and the obsession with the cute feline have only gained traction in the past ten years. It’s even evident in Japanese pop culture where you can find many characters inspired by Japan’s affinity with cats such as Hello Kitty, Neko Atsume, Bananyan, and the characters from Yo-kai Watch. This month we want to share with you our love for our feline friends and hope that you enjoy all the cute cat items in your box.

Amuse – Tsuchineko Plush Pouch

Inspired by tsuchinoko, the snake-like being in Japanese folklores, popular Japanese plush maker AMUSE created the cute Tsuchineko cats which have their paws snugly hidden under their bodies. Through just a regular ol’ plush at first glance, flip it and draw the zipper to open up a hidden pouch where you can fit writing utensils and small accessories. Which of the 15 adorable kitties did you get?

YumeTwins Review May 2017 – Final Thoughts

Well, it’s official, this is my favourite YumeTwins to date. As you can tell, we are still catching up on our reviews thanks to some shipping delays, and this is the May box even though we are well into July already. But…..I’m so glad that it finally arrived because it is just too cute for words. I have loved cats since I can remember so I might be a little biased when it comes to the theme this month. I fell in love with it the moment I laid eyes on the adorable Tsuchineko Plush Pouch. I honestly didn’t think I was going to be a fan of YumeTwins, but I start to love it a little more with each passing month. Not to mention the fact that it is PERFECT for children. I gave Ashley’s daughter a couple of the items from March box and she loved them. A box full of cat plushies is sure to put a smile on anyones face…….

What do you think of the May YumeTwins?
