First up, Online Shopping! My favorite past time =)
Sanrio Japan Online Shop
The Sanrio Japan Online Shop has the most extensive range of Hello Kitty merchandise! I love browsing the pages to see the latest collections. This is where I love to go for interior items such as my Hello Kitty make-up self, rugs, bedsheets etc. Love the wonderful and exclusive selection. I use the White Rabbit Japan buying service to help me buy and ship the items over. Its slightly more expensive but I feel rather worth it for the items which you can't get unless you travel to Japan.
Love the interior collection! (left)
Sanrio USA Online Shop
This is another of my favorite online shop! Sanrio USA has many exclusive items which are not found in the Sanrio Japan online shop. This includes designer collections like Loungefly and Tokidoki. I especially like it that they like to give away free items with purchase =) I got a lovely silver kitty watch once and a free Tokidoki Kitty mug... so happy.
JJL平價日貨館
JJL平價日貨館 which roughly translates to JJL Cheap (or Reasonably Priced) Japanese Goods Shop is an online shop based in Taiwan. They do ship overseas depending on country. The quote for shipping is given separately after the item is purchased but so far I have found the shipping charges to be rather reasonable. They do have Sanrio collections though not all collections are available. I like to browse their webstore for their interior stuff as well and also for their cute Hello Kitty and Disney costumes =) Here's where I got my Hello Kitty small chair and Hello Kitty leopard print romper.
JJL has a store in Taipei, Taiwan. I will definitely visit them on my next trip to Taiwan!

Look at all the goodies that's inside! Gonna pack an empty luggage... yay!!!

Loungefly
Loungefly is an American brand that makes quite a lot of Hello Kitty products. The ones I love most are the bags... they come in so many varieties that I gave up trying to buy any... well I got one black embossed bag for work and that was it =) Still eyeing that leopard-print bag pack and the camo-print messenger bag... =P
