A Puzzling Need - Pastel Rubik’s and Bedlam Cube
This morning, I decided that my life would be more complete if I had a Rubik’s cube. Not just any cube (I have two standard issue rainbow coloured cubes), it has to be a pastel one(j). Failing which, I’d settle for a platinum Bedlam cube (UK).

Re-Ment ♥ - It’s No Secret
Re-ment (Reform The Entertainment) is a Japanese company that manufactures Puchi Petites — scaled miniatures of everyday items. If you’re into dolls, Re-ment miniature replicas would be a great addition to your dolly’s world:
Speaking of dolls, I saw a woman carrying a Volks Super Dollfie (a 1:6 scale ball-jointed doll) in her arms at a bookstore the other day. She treated it like it was her baby, talking and fussing over it. It was… weird. But even if dolls aren’t your thing, there’s no reason why you can’t appreciate the realistic-looking collectibles:
Rement products are not expensive, most selling at 200-400 yen (around USD3), but they are sold in a series of mystery boxes ala trading cards so you may need to buy a few boxes from the same series before you could get the item you want (though it is possible to buy single unboxed items at a higher price). I didn’t know this prior to my trip to Tokyo so when I insisted to a salesgirl there that I wanted item no. 9 on the box she was all “Secret! Secret! All SECRET!!!” LOL
Collections from Re-ment (Japan) site:
Harapeko - Kitchen appliances with animal faces
Petite Mode - Tiny fashion items, costumes and accessories
Collections also available from Re-ment International (English site):
Have A Bite! - Street Food such as crepes, burgers, ice-cream and Japanese snacks
Re-ment Bakery - This collection is no longer available
Elegant Sweets - Tea party essentials like cakes, cookies, chocolates

Creative Kits for Kids
Creative kits - knitting, building, stitching - for children from The Little Experience. (I’m tempted to buy the Knit It Sheep kit for myself) There are also instructions on how to reuse the packaging to act as props for your creations. Genius!
Tokyo No Banana
The good news is I did go to Tokyo; the bad news… I didn’t have enough time to find a Tokyo Banana. 
Amongst all the things sweet, cute and frilly(Baby, the Stars Shine Bright et al) and all things dark, gothic and punk (Moi Meme Moitie et al) in Harajuku and Shinjuku, I fell in love with this tiered coat from Miho Matsuda at MaruiOne.
Unfortunately it was way above my budget… I did, however get a couple of these.

This Wood Be Nice
When I was a kid in kindergarten, I only played with the boys — but only because I loved the wooden toys set aside for them. (The girls were given dolls for playtime - grrr! gender stereotypes! )
Contrary to the amount of cuteness featured on this site, I do not own any Hello Kitty products or the like. I do however, eat lotsa chocolates and ice-cream.
Hello Kitty Wooden set from Sanrio(j).

Yo Gabba Gabba!
I saw a preview clip for Nick Jr’s Yo Gabba Gabba! on E! last month and instantly fell for the pretty, colourful sets. I really don’t know why some people feel so strongly against the show, but it does feel kinda trippy - and I like it!*
*I don’t have kids and count the teletubbies as one of my fav kiddy shows… so feel free to judge me. heh.
