I just submitted another homework for school earlier today and despite being supposed to commence another one, I'm taking this Saturday night off to catch up with some of my fun purchases on my blog.
I do remember mentioning the following statement in an old blog bio (that is now deleted), but I love Budding Pop so much... (♥ω♥ ) ~✿ I discovered this lil bud through someone on WeChat and it's been my favourite character ever since. His expressions are so cute in the WeChat stickers!
I do own a white tee with two Budding Pops on it that I bought in May 2016. I only wear it as a pyjama because I realized – too late – that the two rounded heads looked like boobs, which put emphasis on the bust area. And I don't want to give the impression that I'm wearing this ~suggestive~ design on purpose.
Edit June 13th 2021: After years of feeling embarrassed with the design on this shirt, I am no longer ashamed of wearing it in public. :') First time was on June 10th (see OOTDs).
Anyway, I've been wanting to find Budding Pop stuff similar to Sanrio's for a long time. I found these items back in December 2019 on Taobao. Finally, I had managed to find Budding Pop products that weren't plush toys or other items not particularly cute to me.
I bought the items using the ShipForMe service from Yoybuy. Everything went pretty smoothly. I received my parcel towards the end of January 2021.
Budding Pop 2021 calendar
I'm a bit confused because I ordered the calendar and the small package on top from two different shops. I think it's Yoybuy that combined the two items when they got them at the warehouse? Not sure, though nothing was wrong with my order, so it's alright.
You can open the next three pictures in a new tab to see the details better.
This calendar is so well-made. ;_; Entirely worth my money. The only thing I'm sad about is that I bought this calendar specifically for my desk at work, but I still work from home right now. The calendar is thus still in its box. Though even beyond the year 2021, I'll use it as decoration. I can't throw out something so unique and adorable.
There were even stickers – nicely wrapped – that came with it. The people who designed this Budding Pop calendar put a lot of effort into every detail. ;_;
Budding Pop washi tapes
I had seen these Budding Pop characters as stickers on AliExpress (that were sold out), but I hadn't seen them on washi tapes. That's why I bought them upon seeing them on Taobao.
I shall share more of my purchases, at the end of May or in June, but in the meantime, this blog post is all I have time for. ;_; (I'm aware I may have overused this smiley in this post.)
Byeee.
