start a fire...

No, don't. Please. Unless it's in a fireplace, or on the end of a candle wick. Then you can use these sweetly packaged matches.



We found them hiding up the back of a cupboard not long after we moved into cute packaging HQ, so their origin is a bit of a mystery. But lordy, how they set my heart on fire! sorry sorry sorry very bad pun

vege need playtime too

We picked these baby (?) crackers up from our local supermarket. Hello carrot, and, um, other unidentifiable vegetables. You are cute :0




Sorry, can't give a brand or product name - everything on the packet is in Japanese.

panda cute!

These Kabaya panda biscuits are fun fun fun. The packaging is so playful. Unfortunately the snacks weren't so fun, they tasted a little weird. Can't have it all eh?!

salty goodness

We bought you sugar last time, now it's turn of salt. You may have seen it before (we think it's widely available on supermarket shelves) but we had to feature it here.


Cerebos table salt is just so darn cute, a little old fashioned but full of fun!

Wow. Judging by the giddy lion on the packet, Haw Flakes are simply WILD! We don't know about that, but we bet they'd make you a little manic considering they're sugar... They smell awfully strange also, so a taste test is off the agenda. But we can look all we like, oh yes, and so can you.

sweet space

Aww, how sweet are these? They look vintage, but are dated 2002, so perhaps a reprint? We would love to show you each of the valentines, but the keeper of them doesn't want to open the packet :( Oh well.

Tea Time!

Oh lordy, if only all tea was still packaged like this! How sweet, how fun. It really makes you believe the tea inside will be the most refreshing brew EVER!!! Whew. Think I need a cup myself after that...
