Jetoy Choo Choo Cats

OMFG I LOVE JETOY CHOO CHOO CATS AFSDKJFALDKHGAKSFAKSJFLKS. Right now you are probably wondering "wtf Kaori r u ok did you just have a stroke." No, my friend, no I did not. I am just real excited because I discovered one of the best things ever.

Jetoy is a Korean brand that produces the wonderful Choo Choo Cat line of stationery, accessories, etc. Basically, cute products with these ridiculously AMAZING illustrations of adorable wibbly-eyed kitties surrounded by flowers and pastel colors and sparkles and all kinds of awesome stuff. In other words, it's an amalgamation of ALL THE BEST THINGS EVER.

Here are some examples of the wonderfully fantabulous Choo Choo Cat illustrations. Soooooo cute!

"Pink Hood"

"Jewelry"

"Pink Rose"

"Gamy"

Assorted Choo Choo cats!
The one on the very top right, called "Heaven," is my absolute favorite. :3

The Choo Choo Cat product line includes tons of different items, such as notebooks, stationery, pens, pencils, notepads, phone cases, zip-up pouches, stickers, and more. Look at all this amazing stuff!

I bought the passcase on the right. It's the freaking best ever.

Ugghhhh GIMME EVERYTHINGGGGG~

Oh man if I lived in Korea I would go to the Jetoy store erryday and buy errything. LOOK AT IT. IT'S FREAKING PINK. THE WHOLE THING. That is amazeballs.

Can I just live here, please? Thanks.

While Choo Choo Cats are plentiful in South Korea and have expanded to Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, everyone else has to shop around online to get their hands on some Choo Choo kitty goodness. Amazon actually sells some Jetoy items, but the largest selection of products can be found on eBay - just search "jetoy" or "choo choo cat" and tons of results will come up. As long as the seller has a good rating and is based in South Korea, it's probably legit. So go buy some awesome cat stuff! RIGHT NOW RIGHT NOW.

Hurray, Choo Choo Cats! I am hooked. *w*

I absolutely loooove the ones of buildings with waterfalls, I wish they were real places! The first one reminds me of Hogwarts. *w*

Pretty product packaging

Product packaging design is really interesting! I am certainly one of those ideal consumers who is overly preoccupied/concerned over pretty packaging - I will often purchase things I don't really need if they have particularly nice packaging, and I will balk at buying products if they have particularly terrible packaging. Needless to say, I would most def buy any and all of the following products if I ever came across them.

 

Honey Hunter honey

Marou chocolate

The Deli Garage cheese pencils

Delhaize jams

Lapp & Fao chocolate books

More fruit juice

Bonnard macarons

Doce Cielos honey

Theurel & Thomas macarons

Amelia Rope chocolate

Koel Fresh fruit juice

Sadly, these products are basically all from countries that are not the United States, boooo. I think some might even just be packaging designs for products that don't actually exist, haha. Regardless, I wish all food looked like this.

Tasty treaaaaaaaaaaats

So I love food a lot. Probably way too much. Why, just the other evening I was out at a nice restaurant for dinner and while I was eating my very delicious food, I was talking about OTHER delicious food I have eaten and/or would like to eat. It's like food Inception. Food-ception. (The best kind of -ception.)

One way in which my over-zealous love for food manifests itself (combined with my love for doing absolutely pointless neurotic things) is that I like to look at pretty photos of food on the internet and then SAVE THE FOOD PICTURES that I deem awesome enough to be worthy of taking up space on my hard drive. My food-photos album contains literally thousands of pictures of food I have saved over the years. Not even joking. I think I might have a problem.

Anyway, a majority of the pictures are of desserts, because desserts are the prettiest. In a possible bid to delude myself into believing that this habit of mine is not completely useless, I'm going to post some awesome dessert photos now!

I'M NOT A CRAZY PERSON I AM A HIGHLY-SKILLED CURATOR OF GOURMET CUISINE PHOTOGRAPHYYYYYYYYYY~~
