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.

Let's end the week with the second box of crayons we found at our newsagents. Oh boy, the packaging is so darn cute! Whheeeeee

Oh Milky! It was love at first sight. Who couldn't resist your gleeful greedy guts mascot, your perfect font, your cherry red background?






More Japanese candy delights, this time from Fujiya. Each individual candy was also packaged in the sweetest way, but we ate them all before the photo shoot. Sorry! Still, now we have an excuse to buy another box...

Handle With Care (It's Sharp!)

More art supplies, this time a set of lino cutting tools. Manufactured by Educational Art and Craft Supplies Ltd., this packaging isn't strictly 'cute'. But it is mighty fine and graphically strong, beautifully reflecting the tools inside.

Splishy Splashy

Found this very sweet pack of crayons at the newsagents this morning. 'Good morning sunshine', it said, 'come on in, the water's fine!'


We love the strong, timeless graphic image and colours, and the 'hurry up slowpoke!' expression on the girl's face. Super cute.

We're loving the design of these Patyka Organic body products. Fresh colours, organic lines. Lovely!

the anniversary rilakkuma

Japanese sweet buttery pretzels (that taste kinda yick!) in cute cute packaging from our local supermarket. We love the unimpressed expressions the characters wear. The words around the crown logo at the top say "The Anniversary Rilakkuma". Check out our flickr page to see the little chick with a fine black moustache!

Lordy, doesn' t this packaging make you wish you'd stuck it out with that marching band? We picked these chocolate filled bun shaped biscuits up at our local supermarket. The importer sticker calls them 'Cancho Box', and we spied a Korean website on the box - www.lotteconf.co.kr where a similar product was featured. We call them cute!
