Sponsor Giveaway from Japanistic (U.S. residents only)
As promised, I'm back with another sponsor giveaway to celebrate the merry month of May. I'm very pleased to introduce giveaway sponsor Japanistic, a zakka and kawaii online store that celebrates and offers the cutest goods from Japan.
Sydne and John opened Japanistic to showcase the cool, fun, well-designed Japanese products they've loved for so long. In one convenient place, lovers of Japanese aesthetic can also explore a range of creative, innovative products designed by Japanese-American designers working in the U.S.
As Japanese contemporary design is more than Hello Kitty and Manga, Japanistic offers a wide range of product categories such as accessories, bags, books, cards and postcards, craft items, desk accessories and journals, novelty items, jewelry, kids stuff, kitchen items, posters, textiles, travel, wallets, Elph + Epha, Shinzi Katoh and Bento Boxes.
Have fun exploring the shop for great Mother's Day gift ideas such as this reusable fabric gift wrap, Scrapaholic Scrapbook , vegetable cutters, Paris Metro Mugs , Forest Tote and BPA Free Bento Lunch Boxes from Japanistic's distribution line Artemis.
For this giveaway, Japanistic is giving away this cute Paris tote bag and Parlez-vous Japonais Papier Creature Land Bento Lunch Box (BPA free and microwave safe) to one lucky Sweet Tidings reader. Sorry international readers but this giveaway is open to U.S. residents only as of the moment.
