Rilakkuma Re-ment Birthday Cake

Yet another new re-ment set for rilakkuma! This one I am excited for! It should be released late April this year. When you look closely, the cakes all have the number 10 candles on them. I believe it's because of the rilakkuma 10th year anniversary!! That is so thoughtful! ^_^ so depending on your preference of past rilakkuma themes, hopefully you will get the one you like because these should be blind boxes as usual. But since I love all the themes, I am gonna get the whole set. Eight cakes in total, all too kawaii. So in order (1) is a lemon cake, (2) is a dome cake, (3) is a berry Charlotte cake, (4) is a strawberry purée cake, (5) is a forest themed roll cake, (6) is a heart shaped cream cake, (7) is a honey cake, and lastly (8) is a Paris chocolate cake.

My favorites have got be (5) and (8). The forest cake is genius! The roll cake disguised as the trunk of a tree! And also because I am a big fan of the squirrel and mushroom. As for the Paris chocolate cake, I love the decorations!! From The monogram print on the cake, to the Eiffel Tower chocolate plate, and to the color coordination are so well thought out. I just love everything about this cake. I wish I could have a real one for my birthday, but this miniature one will do!!

Year of the Snake

My favorite year!! Because it's my year!! Brought these cuties with me on vacation in Canada and enjoying their company ^_^ I am biased because it's my year and I think they are too cute. The snake scarf on kori is how I would style this fashionable item. And you can't forgot the money pouch for good luck. Kiiro is just so puffy and adorable. I think San-x made him extra puffy haha. As always the details are amazing on the little plushes. The 2013 stitching in the back (not pictured) in the back is a nice touch.

I was actually a little worried before San-x released the pictures of the design cause I never really thought snakes were any cute... But I was wrong! San-x is always on par with their cute designs. The color is perfect and the quality is impeccable.

Re-ment Update

Rilakkuma sure is popular! Since my last re-ment post in July, re-ment has released 4 more rilakkuma themed sets. There's 3 miniature meal sets and 1 miniature Japanese snack set.

The first set is called Hokkori Time. The one is quite boring because I think it's just a variant of sets already released. Some of the colors just look a bit different. So I decided not to get this one. The pamphlets that come inside the box looks interesting but not enough to get me to make this purchase...

As for the second set, it's called Small Snacks. I love certain pieces in this set like the (2) drop candy, (8) strawberry snack, or (10) potato snack... Just kidding I love them allllllll!!! Seriously though, I already got enough mascot/keychains lying around that last me a life time... So I decided not to get this one as well.

Third set is the Egg Kitchen. This one I LOVE, so I got. I love tamago so this one is a must have. My absolute favorite from this set is (5) Soft Egg Waffle. Because I own the same waffle maker and failed to make waffles (mistakenly used pancake batter and failed miserably and forever gave up...) at least I will have miniature versions for perfect waffles made from the waffle iron. And (7) Egg Shaped Cupcake is cool too... So cute.

Lastly, the most anticipated set for me! The Aloha Rilakkuma. I've always wanted to visit Hawaii so this set will bring me one step closer lol. No, I really want to get this one because of Stitch (from Lilo and Stitch). Re-ment once released a Hawaiian themed set for Stitch and this rilakkuma set will definitely match/compliment that set ^___^ And of course, because rilakkuma is too cute in Hawaiian gear.

Watching Stitch right now~

Rilakkuma & Korilakkuma Piano Scarf UFO Plush

Got these February of last year in Japan. Hubby got these for me on the trip to Tokyo. He loves playing UFO and he's gotten pretty good, so he said they didn't cost too much! ^_^

The plushes are pretty big and the material is pretty soft. The piano scarf is so cute, I want one myself. The music note on the scarf is a nice touch too, pink for kori and baby blue for rila. Only the tag for kori is still there because my daughter ruthlessly ripped off the one on rila :( lol

Also from the UFO catcher is this chocolate brown rilakkuma cushion. I think it's suppose to be a brownie or a piece chocolate with a little bit of whipped cream near the ear. It looks pretty delicious. It's been used quite a bit because my daughter loves to use it as a seat cushion on the floor. It's pretty comfy to sit on. Since it's dark brown, you can't really tell how dirty it really is (it's been sitting on the ground the longest time) I find it pretty useful, my daughter just loooooves to sit on the ground, so I make her sit on rilakkuma instead... sorry rila (T ^ T)
