Super Surprise Kawaii Swap!!

awesome swap!

good idea, burcu! :D

:3

Does anyone know where to find Kawaii stuff other than the Sanrio store and the internet? I can't find much of it here in NH.

@sunnylee7 I'm afraid the internet is the best place for it!

Shop Ideas:

• Janetstore
• Dreamkitty
• Artbox
• Etsy! Just type in "kawaii" under supplies and you'll find millions of shops and items :)

also

• Kawaii Ya
• Phoophie
• Shop Kawaii
• KitKnitty She's having a HUGE 50% off sale right now

I absolutely love the adorable kawaii figures and finally got to order some kawaii goodies online from KitKnitty: http://kitknitty.ecrater.com/c/1063281/50-off-sale-discounted-as-marked. Like @weeatcrayons said, the site is having a big 50% off sale right now. I thought the prices were very reasonable, including the cost of shipping, and was very pleased with what I got.

Now can someone please tell me if there's some sort of trick to using the deco tape rolls without the tape twisting back on itself before you can place it on whatever? HELP! :)

I've got a bunch of goodies ready to send off now all I need is the addy! I'm so excited this is going to be a fun swap! Also, if you guys are looking for a store that sells Kawaii stuff in the U.S see if you have a Five Below near you they have some great stuff in there.. it's worth it to check it out...

I'm very excited about this swap! Expecting a few supply parcels in the mail this week :D

Super excited for this swap! lol im a little anxious, got it all packaged up and ready to mail ALREADY. ^__^ just need my address

Hey there, I haven't swapped in awhile and I was wondering for this swap, if "kawaii" meant only branded items. (ie. Hello Kitty, Rilakuma, etc) or just cute items even tho they aren't really branded. (ie. Pucho Candy, notebooks with kawaii animals) I'm really excited about this swap :)

@sunnylee7 If you have any asian grocery stores in your area, they tend to have a really good, if small selection of items. Also, the toy section of most places- Target, especially, have some items. Party City also has a few, quick, cheap grabbies. Also, if you have a decently sized comic book store you can sometimes find things there. Good luck :)

is it all right to mix the characters or should the package be all one character? Thank you

@patumma You can mix characters in this swap.

@Starberrie They need to be Kawaii branded items.

So they MUST be branded..? I wanted to include some letter sets that look kawaii, but I don't believe they belong to a big brand /:

Please let me know what you think, @thegreatdawn Thanks :)

Oh, those are just fine. Those are kawaii. I'm talking about real life animals that are cute but are clearly not japanese "kawaii".

Ouu, okay then thanks a bunch :)

if i'm not qualified i have to accept that thanks anyway.

I have TONS of kawaii goodies! This sounds like so much fun!

we are talking Japanese Kawaii here right? not disney or the like? Is that correct...i have too much disney! LOL

Umm.. Yea I was wondering the same thing. Is Disney considered "Kawaii" in this swap?

I am very sorry but i prefer not to receive disney in a kawaii swap. Your swap your choice totally!!! I would just like to know so i know if i want to join or not. Thank you

No disney in this swap!!

thank you for the clarification thegreatdawn!

If you can extend the deadline I can join in too. (I'm ordering my kawaii from janetstore and am not sure when it will get here. Don't wanna be late sending to my partner..)

How long of an extension were you thinking @provadia

Maybe Sept. 15? Or is that too long? I placed an order yesterday and it's 3-4 weeks shipping. If not, I can wait till the next one, it's no big:) Or you can do a private swap with me?

I can do a private swap with you? I feel bad for the other swappers because I had this swap up for almost a month :( Message me and we can arrange a private swap for later in the month if you'd like :)

I hope you host a second one, because I def want to participate, but don't have the time now :)

I know this a surprise swap but I really want to join the thing is I have bad allergies and can not have plushes in my home. If that is a problem then please remove me from the swap.

Is handmade allowed in this swap?

Ok guys, I run my own business and I make kawaii items so if anyone has a problem with handmade kawaii items can they let me know asap? I'm sending my package tomorrow so need to know!! >.< (It's not all handmade btw, I'm sending other goodies too :) )

Handmade is okay as long as it meets the requirements with everything listed above :)

Had so much fun putting this swap together! Hope my partner loves it!

It meets requirements and my partner said it's cool too :) thanks for arranging another great swap, @thegreatdawn

:) I'm glad you like them!
