I'm a little sad to be writing this post, as this marks the last month of my subscription to Kawaii Box. As you all probably know by now, Kawaii Box is Blippo's monthly subscription service that sends a box of kawaii goodies from Korea and Japan to your home every month. For Christmas back in 2014, I bought myself a three month subscription and on my doorstep this afternoon was my final one.
This months box came to me a bit later than usual: the 13th of March. It made me a little worried, as it usually arrives pretty early in the month, but I checked with a friend who is also subscribed and she said she hadn't received hers either, which was a relief because that just meant the shipping was just a little bit delayed and my box hadn't been lost in the mail.
I'm pretty happy with the contents of this months box. As usual, everything was in good condition and very kawaii. So without further delay, let's get into the goodies~

Items #1, #2 and #3: Candy Accessories ♡
The first things I saw when I opened this months box was a group of adorable accessories that look like candies! My favourite out of these is probably the bracelet because of all the pretty pastel colours, but the other two are nothing to sneeze at either. There's also a very cute hair clip with a colourful lollypop. You can't really tell in the photo, but it's covered in glitter and I can't wait to show it off to everyone, it makes me feel like a candy princess. The last item in this picture is a charm that I think is supposed to be some kind of chocolate - either way, it's kawaii as heck.
Items #4, #5 and #6: Pencil Case, Luggage Tag and Eraser ♡
When I saw the luggage tag in this months box, I was so excited. I don't know how many of you puddings are Kpop fans, but the tag looks just like the SHINee emblem! It's the same colour and everything. And then the ties on it are pastel pink. I'm so extremely happy with this and it has great timing too, as you puddings may be aware that my partner and I are flying overseas at the end of this year. This will be the perfect way to make sure my luggage is both safe and kawaii. The pencil case and eraser are super cute, too. I love the galaxy background on the pencil case and the cute shape of the eraser. Last months back to school box pretty much has me covered on the school supplies front, but you can bet they'll still be put to good use around the house.
Items #7, #8, #9 and #10: Mechanical Pencil, Stickers, Chopsticks and Candy
I have so much love for each and every item here. The mechanical pencil has an adorable bear on the trigger and a cute drawing on the base. It's very lightweight and a great addition to my pencil case. The stickers are breathtakingly lovely. They have a very nostalgic feel to them and I can't wait to stick them all over my Uni folders. The delicate details are so nice to look at. The chopsticks are so cute as well! They're standard size and have adorable little pandas printed on the tops. Like most things that come to me from Kawaii Box, I'm so eager to show these off.
The candy that I found in this months box had me really curious. Because it was all written in Japanese, I didn't know what it was, but I went ahead and opened it anyway. Turns out, it's a cute D.I.Y candy set! I followed the pictures on the back and within minutes, I had my own grape flavoured candy with pop rocks. The mixture is really thick and gooey and you're supposed to wrap it around the spoon and dip it in the popping candy. I'm not really a fan of grape, but it still tasted amazing. Definitely adding this to my next Blippo order.
Items #11 and #12: Raccoon and Kit Kat
I was so freaking excited when I saw that under all this months kawaii goodness, there was a green tea Kit Kat! I've always wanted to try one, I'm so happy that Blippo decided to gift me with the opportunity. Because I live in Australia, by the time it got here, it was a bit melted, but it was still good. The green tea taste isn't as intense as Blippo's green tea pocky, but it was nice. I hope I'll be able to encounter more novelty Kit Kats in the future.
The final item in this months box is a cute little keyring with a stuffed raccoon. I've named him Nook, as in Tom Nook. If you don't know why, I recommend you go play the worlds most addictive game (Animal Crossing) right now. The quality of this little guy is a bit dodgy, but I'm still happy with it because now I have my own little nookling.

So that's it, that's the final edition of my Kawaii Box journey. I hope you puddings enjoyed experiencing all the happiness of Kawaii Box with me and I really do encourage you to subscribe yourselves, it's really great value and such a nice thing to look forward to every month.
I'm sorry this review was so short and the photos aren't that great, but as you may know if you puddings follow me on Instagram or Tumblr, Uni has been super hectic and I have so many blog posts sitting in my drafts waiting to be edited or completed. I'm trying very hard to keep up with both my school work, my job and my blogging, but it's very difficult. Hopefully I'll start to get a bit ahead in my assignments and then I'll be able to publish my posts on the same days I start them, but for now, there might be a little bit of delay.
Anyway, back to Kawaii Box. I have decided that I will be renewing my subscription for the next six months. Like I said, it's such a nice thing to look forward to and such good value for money. Not to mention, it gives me the chance to own some things that I usually wouldn't buy for myself, and to me, that's such a wonderful thing.
I won't be making any more reviews on Kawaii Box after this once, since my choice is made, but if you want to keep updated on the monthly goodies I'm receiving, follow my on Instagram, as that's where I'll be posting them from now on (I have to show them off somewhere, right?). For now, it's goodbye, but stay tuned as I'll be making a lot more reviews of more kawaii products in the very near future~
Until then, stay kawaii, my pudding cups! ♡
