We know many of you are hardcore Sanrio fans who might be tempted to deck out your entire home in their character-themed goods. But let’s face it - that isn’t a very practical decision, and most of our partners wouldn’t be on board with the idea anyway.

However, here’s one fun way you can add a subtle dose of Sanrio into your home : The new JEKCA x Sanrio collection. With their mini bricks, you’ll be able to DIY your own remote control holders and tissue box cases, featuring all your favourite characters.

Read on to find out where you can get these!

We’re sure you’ve seen JEKCA's mini building block kits being sold around Singapore in places like Urban Write and Kinokuniya. They’re basically a grown up’s version of LEGO with tinier bricks and more complicated designs, usually featuring animals.

The pieces in their new Sanrio collection are as functional as they are cute. Instead of being purely decorative model figures, they serve as tissue box covers and racks for your remotes - while giving your living room a pop of kawaii.

The best part about the remote racks is that they’re multi-functional. Put up partitions to store up to 4 remotes, or use them as holders for your stationery or smartphone. It’s entirely up to you!

As for the tissue box covers, they’re sure to put a smile on your face even when you’re crying over the most heart-wrenching K-dramas. (Speaking of which, check out our article on free short Korean web dramas here)

Due to the current circuit breaker, we’re not sure if we’ll be seeing these in local stores anytime soon - since many businesses are still not allowed to open. Fret not if you simply can’t wait, because you can always order them online with free shipping.

Piecing the bricks together for your DIY creations will be a great way to kill time at home during this period. Besides, you’ll get to enjoy the satisfaction of building your own handy holders from scratch.
