we're alive! Mickey & Minnie Christmas Plush

Hello, world!!! WOW, it's been a while. Sorry for the sudden disappearance!

Ahh, Christmas shopping. How I both hate and loathe thee. Getting smushed by crowds on all sides, the snaking line to the register...all the while trying to stay in good cheer.
The new Disney Store at the renovated Santa Monica Place is amazing. There's a miniature Princess Castle and multiple big screens, the staff is ridiculously friendly (what do they feed them?!), and the place is always fully stocked.

Came home with these cutetastic suckers cuz they were on sale for $5!

 

How cute are they?! I love the rosy cheeks!

 

..and their crooked smile

Happy Holidays everyone! :)

Mickey Minifan

While away on my travels around the world, I came across this cute little fan in a little store in the Nanluoguxiang Hutong District (a.k.a. NLGX) in Beijing, China.  Isn't he so cute?!...and helpful in battling the intense heat and humidity that accompanies summers in China.  

Doesn't he just look so happy and eager to help cool you off?  What a helpful Mickey, helping to make people smile across the globe.  I wish there were other characters there also, but I may have been asking for too much considering how the store lacked any sense of cohesion when it came to merchandise.  Unfortunately I didn't buy it (don't ask me why, I have no idea!) but I sure wish I had now that summer has FINALLY kicked in and really, why wouldn't I have considering I was in China and it probably cost all of $5 - probably less.  Alas, we must live with the decisions we make. :(

Regretfully wishing she had a Mickey minifan,

Disney Pook-A-Looz TOPPLER!

It was just a week ago that I learned about these brand new pook-a-looz topplers.  After I saw the announcement on their official site, I couldn't wait to see them in stores. I took home the Mickey, even though I was torn between him & Pooh.

Here he is! Found it at Toys R Us, $5.99 each. 

It's so cute the way it topples!

These really are TOO cute for their own good. 

I thought about getting the Pooh. And the Minnie, and the Snow White. I also saw the Spinners, Yappers, and Walkers. The Cinderella Walker was especially cute, because her little feet were clear -- she was wearing glass slippers!!

Mickey & Stitch: Cell Phone Charms!

I am a sucker for these big head + tiny body proportions. It makes everything really, really cute. Every time I look at this Mickey strap though..I think man, I really should have bought Minnie too.

 Stitch! One of my favorite Disney characters :)
