Spring starts in March, so this month’s theme Spring Cleaning is perfect to make the task of cleaning up your home a little more cute!
The menu booklet shows us the five items in this month’s box.
Mini Sumikko Gurashi Dustbin.
This is a little swing top bin that is small enough to pop on your desk or kitchen counter for small items you want to throw away. There are four different designs. all Sumikko Gurashu characters. This little Kitty is Neko, which actually means cat in Japanese!
Japanese Animal Print Apron.
This is actually my favorite item by far! It’s one of 14 possible patterns, and shows a whole lots of adorable Shiba dogs in various poses.
It’s 100% cotton, which means it’s easy to clean. The style is also really nice. Instead of the usual loop over the head that you’re used to in an apron, there are loops that go over the shoulders and cross over at the back to tie, which is actually much more comfortable. There are also two pockets, plus an extra loop to hang extra cloths at hand. Perfect for cleaning or cooking!
Sanrio / San-X Cleaner Card
This is the featured item this month. We all have touchscreens now, and mine is always covered in smudges! This small compact cleaning card is a very clever design. Rather than a cloth, that can get balled up and forgotten, this card will slide into a pocket or even into a larger purse. It’s also very effective for cleaning off your phone or tablet.
Sanrio Character Sponge
You get either Hello Kitty or this My Melody sponge in the box. It’s certainly very cute, though I’m not sure I’d ever want to use it because it’s too adorable! But it will definitely make cleaning the sink more fun.
Shiba & Neko Air Freshener
This is one of the classic cardboard air fresheners that you most often see hanging from car rear view mirrors, though you can hang it anywhere you like! This one is lavender scented, and has a cute dog or can design.
