I accidentally didn't cancel my Doki Doki box for July (I'm on a strict budget 1 box per month 30$ or less) because I have 2 accounts. I'm kid of happy it came because I misjudged the box in the beginning and I really like some of the stuff I got. Ever the stuff I didn't get the version I wanted more is useful. This month's theme is Summer Festival.
Disney Japan Tsum Tsum "wink" blind box. I'm not much of a fan of blind boxes because I'm not a lucky person. I always seem to get my least favorite thing. So the one I got, was of course, the one I wanted least. I got the Lotso one, the villain from the 3rd movie. I didn't like the box to begin with but I would of been okay with one of the other options like Monsters Inc. or the alien dude from Toy Story. This is up for grabs on my trading site. Trading.
Paper Fan + Character Handkerchief set is really cute festival style. The fan is actually useful because it's so hot in the city right now and I can use it when I got out Pokemon hunting. The handkerchief I might just start using because it probably works better than the paper towels at work and I'd feel more environmentally conscious. KEEPER.
Gudetama Kitchen clips is a little misleading. Makes me think I was supposed to get more than one clip. Regardless I think I expressed I don't care much for the lazy egg dude. Apparently there are four variations of the clip but I didn't see the others so there is nothing to be disappointed about. But this is a clip and I can still use it around the kitchen. Keeper.
The Tenugui (Japanese towel for around the neck) is an excellent idea. I've secretly always wanted one of these when I'm working on cosplay. Tie it up on my head and FIGHT-O! |:O So I'll put it to good use. Learn more at blog.japancrate.com Keeeeperrr.
Doki Doki Exclusive Plushie IS AN ADORABLE GOLDFISH! Following the festival theme but it's so dumb looking it's adorable. It's Kingy to Remon set has 2 different ones I could have gotten. The Orange (Kiko) or Lemon (Wawa) style. I got the orange on includes a little bell and fin on the top of his head. Another little plushie for the wall of plushies (picture update to come soon). KEEPER.
The Omamori is an amulet with the Doki Doki characters on it. I put it instantly on my cell phone. The charm is a little awkward but I really like the look. Learn more about charms at blog.japancrate.com. Keeper.
I put my Omamori lucky item (frog) into my amulet pouch. The frog is supposed to made of wood but the one I received is plastic. Nevertheless it is supposed to symbolize the following: The word for Frog (KAERU) has the same pronunciation as the Japanese word "return, "change" or "go back". Thus FUKU KAERU (Fortune Frog) can also mean fortune is returned. Therefore we wear a small frog which made by wood and earth as a good-luck charm. Additionally we give a BUJI KAERU (safety frog) to a person who will go traveling and give a FUKU KAERU to a person who is sick, to get-well soon. Also we put a FUKU KAERU in a wallet or purse, because it is said that money you spend will bring you fortune in return. Keeper.
Bonus Gachapon: Ice cream keychain. I kind of hate these "keychains" that come with the metal snap in chain rather than a hook screwed into the item and a traditional chain with a hoop. They unhook and fall off much easier. Anyway it's a cute capsule item that I will likely be putting on my keychain soon. Keeper.
The Summer hair elastics is just a regular hair tie with a size-able piece of fruit attached to it. I got watermelon. Would have probably preferred they lemon but the watermelon is cute. I have some dresses I want to make work with this. Keeper, maybe.
Monthly Hoppe-Chan is cute beat the heat on the beach style. Keychain worthy but chain link suspicious. Need to buy a few real keyrings for these keychains. Keeper and collectible.
Rilakkuma Towel, ok so this one I AM disappointed. There were a few variations: Rilakkuma, Kirritori or Korilakkuma. I got the duck, would have preferred the bear so much more. It will make good around the house though. This size towel is good for a lot of things and you know, I like spilling things! Ha! Keeper.
Lastly, the tattoo stickers are great. There are a bunch of them and they are all different, I would prefer a way to turn these into real stickers so I'll do some experimenting. Keeper.
Only 1 out of all these items I feel compelled to trade out. Really good box! I wish I could afford to continue it and the YumeTwins box but they are both around $30 each. Ugh if only they cost a little less.
For things I want to get rid of I trade on some make up trading sites! Check them out below:
