YumeTwins

Now we’re getting to springtime and one of Japan’s most famous events – sakura cherry blossom season!

YumeTwins is celebrating and combining it with shaking up your morning routine with items to make your day more kawaii with this Sweet Sakura Morning box.

Recently YumeTwins has really upped their game with the menu booklet. As well as descriptions of all the items, it also contains lots of interesting information about Japanese and kawaii culture. This month you can read about Harajuku fashion, Japanese uniform culture, as well as seeing some of the best places to view the famous cherry blossom.

Japanese Pattern Quill Pen & Milk Carton Planner Sticky Notes

Two items here to make your organising skills cuter. The pen is really rather lovely with the feather decoration, and the pen itself is a nice retractable ballpoint. Both practical and pretty.

The sticky notes are quite large, perfect for adding to a planner or notebook, and there’s lots of space for notes and scheduling. A great accessory for either work or school.

Kawaii Character Alarm Clock

Getting up in the morning might be a more fun with this cute alarm clock. There are several possibilities, either Pokemon or Sumikko Gurashi, and you just need to add a battery. It’s small and light, so perfect for the bedside table.

YumeTwins Exclusive Cardcaptor Sakura Tumbler

Cardcaptor Sakura is one of Japan’s most beloved and iconic manga/anime franchises. This lovely travel cup for both hot and cold drinks is perfect for on the go, and it’s also leakproof, which is very useful! The design is exclusive to YumeTwins, and you can read all about Cardcaptor Sakura in the menu booklet too.

YumeTwins Original Nyan Nyan Sailor Suit Cushion

This cute little cushion is lovely and soft, and can be used either for a quite nap for just on a chair or sofa. The design reflects a common Japanese sailor-type school uniform, which is particularly apt right now and in Japan the new school year starts in April. The design is another exclusive, and features YumeTwins little cat mascot, Nyan Nyan.

Our score: 9.6/ 10

There are some really fun and practical items in this box. I must admit that I'm slightly disappointed not to have one of the Sumikko Gurashi clocks, as I adore those characters, but I love the soft purple colour of my Pokemon clock. The cushion is small but is really useful for a desk chair, and the design is a lot of fun, especially how it reflects a part of modern Japanese culture. I really love the pen and the sticky notes, I'm forever losing pens so hopefully it will be less likely with this one! The sticky notes are brilliant too, as I love to make lists, and they'll be very handy for my journal. Travel cups are always incredibly useful, not to mention eco-friendly, so I'm happy to have one to add to my collection. All in all an excellent selection this month!
