Takashimaya Is Having A Huge CNY-Themed Sanrio Fair With Blind Boxes, Tableware, Electronics & More
Feeling the post-Christmas blues? Here's something to turn that frown upside down for all you Sanrio enthusiasts out there! Takashimaya is currently having its 'Year of the Dragon' Sanrio fair, with plenty of character merchandise featuring Hello Kitty, My Melody, Cinnamoroll, Kuromi and more.
While the fair boasts a CNY theme and even has adorable standees displaying the fortunes for the upcoming year (according to the twelve Chinese zodiacs), shoppers will also be able to find a huge array of general merch and collectibles. During our visit, we spotted everything from blind boxes to tableware and household essentials to electronics!
Wondering if you should make the trip down to Takashimaya? Read on to check out some of the highlights at this CNY-themed Sanrio fair.

It's impossible to miss the huge array of tableware available, ranging from cute utensils like character ladles and spoons to tableware like bowls and plates.

Bargain hunters looking to maximise the offers available will also want to check out the mix-and-match pricing system — the items get more affordable when you buy multiple in the same price tier. For example, this Cinnamoroll dish and Kuromi plate both cost $26 each when purchased separately, but cost $22 each when bought in a group of three pieces, or $18 each in a group of six pieces.
Home & Daily Essentials

Besides cutlery and tableware, there are also plenty of daily essentials on sale. Those who are on the lookout for new drinkware in particular will be spoilt for choice with the wide variety of character mugs, cups, tumblers and water bottles available.

There are also super cute household items like alarm clocks and storage pouches, as well as travel essentials like rolling luggage bags in various sizes. Most of the ones that we spotted come in pastel shades, with character designs positioned on their sides — you'll be able to spot these on airport luggage conveyor belts from a mile away!
Electronics

Each of these typewriter-style mechanical keyboards come in colours inspired by a character (or characters, in the case of Kiki and Lala). Fans can also complete the look by choosing to purchase a keyboard set, which contains a wireless keyboard, mouse and mousepad ($171 each, $149 each with any 3 pieces, $127 each with any 6 pieces).
