Fall lootcrate time

Still no sign of the Gachapon crate I ordered, I suspect it's lost, but the company said "Give it until October 9th" and I assume if it's not here by then they'll either extend my subscription or refund me. (I hope they refund. I'm not sure I want to continue this).

BUT my Sanrio loot crate came today, and I saved it as a "prize" for if I got my grading and piano practice (and laundry) done, and I did, so I get to open it now.

(And then I have time to eat dinner, I won't even have to zap the "healthy" chicken fettucine frozen dinner I bought in case I didn't have much time)

So here goes. I don't even know the theme....

Box says "Big Smile" on the inside (Don't tell me what expression to have, Sanrio) and has a cartoon of a candy store, so maybe it's candy themed....

First, the wearable - a nice t-shirt (ONE WITH SLEEVES THIS TIME) with the Sanrio characters on it:

Carnival? 80s mall-throwback with a candy store and an arcade? I don't know, but it's cute, and I would totally wear it for one of the casual days or as a shirt when I lead a field lab.

(Oh, wait, deeper in the box it says the theme is "Supercute Carnival," so I get it now.

Also has a little notebook with PINK paper:

And a fanny pack (UK translation: bum bag). I guess these are coming back? They're goofy but I have to admit at times they come in handy:

And more of those embroidered pins (I guess these are a thing in every crate? And a thing they call a "Token or coin keeper" (for your arcade tokens, I guess. It's kind of small but it has Gudetama on it and I think it will work to hold small stitch markers in my knitting bag:

And the very last item is a neon Hello Kitty figure:

PINK


Which they say is the most common variant but it's also the iconic Kitty color, so I am happy I got it:

My favorite things are the t-shirt and the Hello Kitty figure.
