Gudetama Crate from Okashda review!

Legend has it, that in 2016, a candy and merchandise crate would be released that would be filled with amazing Gudetama items for all Gudetama lovers to enjoy...

well my friends, that Gudetama crate does in fact exist, and I just received it TODAY!! The Gudetama crate, released by Okashda, contains some of the most sought-after  Gudetama candies and merchandise from Japan! Now, it is time to reveal the legendary egg crate~

The Gudetama crate came wrapped like a present, with an orange ribbon and cute "gift tags" attatched! This was probably the best-dressed subscription box I've ever gotten *0*

Inside, I was greeted by Gudetama-folder saying "dull" what did you call my you little punk

All I can say is, Okashda must have teamed up with Gudetama himself to make this crate, because I can't believe all the awsome Gudetama things I'm seeing! Time to dig in~

The first items I pulled out were the mini Gudetama egg chocolates! (I had to because they were small and adorable) Each chocolate was individually wrapped, almost similar to a jelly or pudding. They were made of white chocolate and were very smooth and yummy =w=

The next item in the crate was this Gudetama bath bomb with a little Gudetama prize inside! 

-one bath later-

 Inside the bath bomb (which smelled like oranges btw), was a gudetama "hidden egg" charm! If you pull up on the egg shell, it will reveal a little Gudetama inside, which was super cute. I have wanted a Gudetama bath bomb for a while, but the only ones I were able to find were waaaay overpriced, so I'm glad this was included!

The next item I received was a bag of Gudetama candies! 

 Each candy wrapper had a different picture of Gudetama on it! Each candy had a hard, orange-flavored coating and a chewy yogurt center! I have tried these candies once before, only I think those were yogurt flavored. Both flavors were very tangy and sweet~

(also, I thought I might add that I found a VERY SPECIAL Castella Gudetama on one of the wrappers, which match my plushies:

 beautiful)

 The next item in the crate was this cute little Gudetama hand towel! It was very soft, and had a stiff orange tag on the side (not sure if it was supposed to be removed, but it looked fancy so I kept it) I'm also a huge fan of small cute towels ;w;

The next candy I got was a bag of Gudetama chewy taffies!

Similar to the first bag, these candies also each had a different Gudetama on each wrapper! The red wrappers had lemon-flavored candies, and the yellow wrappers had ornge flavored ones. These were very soft and chewy, and tasted amazing 

The next item I got was a set of mini Gudetama envelopes!

 Each envelope was very small, and came with a strip of gudetama stickers. These are meant for very teeny letters xD

 

 The next item I received was a bag of Gudetama gummies! I have tried these once before, they are coated in a bit of sugar and taste like orange and lemon. The texture can be somewhat jelly-ish rather than gummy, but I always enjoy them because they are shaped like different Gudetamas~

Next was this cute little Gudetama note pad! Each page had a Gudetama image on it (the one on the front of the pad)

 

 The last Gudetama item I received was this Gudetama folder! Gudetama appears to be having a dull day on this one. I like how, in more character-themes crates, a character folder in included! 

PS: Simon decided to join us for the review, as usual

 

~Thoughts~

 

Overall, I thought this Gudetama crate was so much fun to open, and it had even more awesome Gudetama items in it than I expected! All the Gudetama items in this crate were items that I believe just about any Gudetama fan would go crazy for, especially the bath bomb and the gummies. Plus, many of the items included in this crate only sell individually and are overpriced, so I'm glad this crate included them all for a decent price. I was so happy that a subscription box finally decided to make a Gudetama crate, and I would totally recommend Okashda for any future crates!

 

Since this Okashda crate was a one-time crate, I think it's already sold out, but if you want to sign up for Okashda and any next character crates they will have, you can go here to subscribe!

 Thank you Okashda for the amazing Gudetama crate, and thank you everyone for reading!

 

Kawaii Land squishies! Review

Hey everyone! Today I'm going to share with you a small but adorable squishy package I bought from Kawaii-Land! 

Kawaii-Land is an online shop that sells mainly squishies, as well as other kawaii things such as cell phone accessories, stationery, and Popin' Cookin cadies ( ˊᵕˋ )♡

Here are the item I ordered (images fromKawaii-land):

 Funassyi PuniPuni Squeeze toy strap

Chiba Pinyattsu Soft Squishy Mascot

Hello Kitty Lovely Sweets Shortcake squishy

I thought these three were the most adorable toys in Kawaii-Land>w>

Because this order was actually one of my birthday presents, I am not sure of the exact day it arrived. Although, I do know that it arrived within about one week!

Inside the package were the three items I ordered plus my order confirmation note. Everything looks so cute(●♡∀♡)!! Each squishy came individually wrapped and had their original tags~

Funassyi squeeze toy ($10.50 USD)

The first item I received was this Funassyi squeeze toy! This is also my first squeeze toy ever -SENTIMENTAL SQUEEZE TOY MOMENT-

 The squeeze toy was very soft and rubber-y, and almost sticky! It was apple-shaped (even though Funassyi is a pear) and had a little 2-way strap/pluggy.

Time to squeeze the Funassyi apple~!

 (Oh Jesus, what have I just witnessed)

Since this is my first squeeze toy, I am not sure if they are all like this, but when I squeezed it, Funassyi-apple seemed to give birth to a small bean of itself in a watery liquid sack. Not scary at all.  

Overall, the squeeze toy seemed to be good quality, very soft and squeezable, and the little Funassyi bean was actually kind of cute. Also, I got this little guy on a major discount (five dollars off!) 

I think I'll attach it to my phone and ask innocent souls to give it a squeeze and see their reactions (≧∇≦ )

Pinyattsu squishy ($10.00 USD)

 The next, and less firghtening squishy I received was this adorable peanut-cat names Pinyattsu! 

(front)

(back)

I think this one might be the most adorable of the three, and it has a cute little " :3 " face! This cat was very soft and squishy, and had a slight shine to it. Come to think of it, Pinyattsu might just be my new favorite squishy *0* !

Hello Kitty Shortcake squishy ($8.50 USD)

 

(front)

The last item I received was this Hello Kitty vanilla shortcake squishy! This was by far the most realistic of the two squishies, it looks like it's really covered in icing!

(back)

(side/middle)

 My favorite thing about this squishy is that it has two little cat-shaped strawberries on either side >u> Even the strawberries look realistic! I'm not usually a big Hello Kitty fan when it comes to squishies, but this is probably going to be another one of my favorites(＾▽＾) This squishy was also very soft and slow-rising. Plus, this one was on sale as well, so instead of paying $10.50 I only paid $8.50!

✰~Ratings~✰

quality:♥♥♥♥♥

Both the squishies and the squeeze toy were high quality and came with their original packaging and tags! The squishies had no defects and were very squishy, plus the Hello Kitty cake was very realistic and slow-rising( ´ ▽ ` )

Shipping:♥♥♥♥♥

The total cost for shipping was $3, which I think was INSANELY cheap! All my items were packed carefully, and arrived within one week~

cost:♥♥♥♥♥
The cost of the combined items was $29 plus $3 shipping, which came to a total of $32. Two of the three items I purchased were on sale, so in total I saved $6.50! Honestly if the items weren't on sale I'm not sure if I would have bought them, considering that the sale prices for these items were equal to similar store's regular prices

Overall:♥♥♥♥♥
Overall, I would give Kawaii-Land and their squishies five stars! The items I received were packaged nicely with no defects, had their original tags, and were shipped for only $3. Plus, Kawaii-land has some squishies and kawaii goods that I haven't seen anywhere esle, like the Funassyi squeeze toy and Pinyattsu squishy, which were both on sale! I would recommend Kawaii-Land for those of you who enjoy cheap shipping and want a large variety of kawaii items in one place. I was extremely happy with the squishies I received and will be sure to shop at Kawaii-Land again!
