Pretty cool!

She certainly has a big handbag with a lot of interesting stuff in it so it
got me thinking: what’s in your handbag?

Leave a video response or comment below and let me know what’s in your bag!
You may have to check first because there is probably some stuff in there
you haven’t seen for a while. Even though I am not a girl, I know these
things :) .

At least the rain is good for my grass and roses—like everything else, it can’t be all bad.
What do you guys like to do on rainy days when you really can’t be outside at all?

Today my body doesn’t know if it’s day or night, but overall we had a productive 15 days in Hong Kong and I think you will all like some of our 2013 ideas.

Before that, however, Mother’s day is coming and I would suggest finding one of those 680 Target Stores carrying the Hello Kitty toaster, cupcake maker and water dispenser. The price is still $19.99 and I really don’t know how they can continue to sell these that cheap so snatch one up quickly and put a smile on Mom’s face.

You can also get her one of our Hello Kitty ear buds with the bling hearts, TRU or Best Buy have these in all stores!

Finally, nothing is cooler than a Mom with a Hello Kitty iPhone case. Check out model #s KT4488BK4, KT4488B4, KT4488R4 at Target.com

I think I need a nap.

Our new popcorn maker is moving along and we have made a deal with Target USA to sell it at a hot price ($19.99) between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Also, our new Paul Frank computer mouse is going well in Mainland China in the Apple Stores there and reorders are already coming. I think we will bring these to the USA later this year and see if we can match our China success in the USA.

For those of you in Australia, we just met with the Target Australia Merchandising team these last two days and we will for sure have a few of our Hello Kitty items in stores before Christmas. Went to dinner with the Aussies on Monday night to The Black Stump, a Australian Steak House. They had Kangaroo on the menu—maybe next time!

One more week here and then back to New York.

Hello Kitty Popcorn Maker - KT5235

Now in Hong Kong an just finalized our new popcorn maker which will be introduced for this holiday season. We have been working on this one for a while and I hope you think it’s as cute as we do.

Perfect for making a healthy snack while watching movies or catching up on the DVR at home. I will let you know exactly where you can buy this item as we get closer to production. Hopefully this solves one holiday gift idea for the Hello Kitty fans on your list.

Here is a picture of the mock up :)

This unit is not only beautiful, but is designed to plug into your TV so you can see yourself sing in HD, see the words, or see the words as well as yourself. The speakers on your TV, of course, are far superior to anything we can put in a small unit, so you also enjoy the upgraded sound of your voice as you prepare for your American Idol debut.

Thanks to everyone for your wonderful support this year. We are introducing 15 new products next month at the CES in Las Vegas. Hope there is something in that mix you will like for holiday 2012.

Merry Christmas and Season’s Greetings to all.

Your choice of 8 of our best products for $19.99.

However, there is an ad the third week of December and those items will be on sale for $14.99. This is an unbelievable deal, so don’t miss it if you are a Hello Kitty fan.

Also, the new cupcake maker is selling much better than projected, so if you want that item I would suggest you get it the first day of the ad. And yes, the cupcakes do come out with Hello Kitty’s face on the top.

Happy shopping,

Marino
