Japanese Toast Toppers

One thing I will never get bored of is the packaging in Japan. They really know how to do cute and ridiculous well!

I spotted these in the supermarket the other day, the whole display was a 10 for cuteness.

Form what I can workout (I didn't get sucked into buying any!) they are toppings for your toast.

Each animal has its own topping, so there is cinnamon, chocolate, caramel and garlic and numerous other flavours too. Whether this will last as a product we will have to wait and see but I tend to think that it will be one of those fad things that disappears as quickly as it appeared. 

If you are ever in Japan and think to yourself 'Oh, I should try that' DO IT STRAIGHT AWAY, I can't tell you the amount of times I have gone back a week later and the new exciting product has disappeared, never to be seen again!

And if you have tried these, let me know how it was!

Bakery Socks

I am always on the look out for fun and interesting gifts so imagine my delight when I found Bakery Socks! Yes, they really are a thing!

The packaging is brilliant, a great way to catch your eye and a fab way to make boring old socks a more exciting gift option.

Just take a look at these taste treats...

Maybe baguette is more your style, I wonder if these are long socks?

Or would you rather have something sweet, a cinnamon roll perhaps...

No? Then why not walk around with eggy socks! I'm not sure what the design is like as a sock but I do love the clever packaging.

And of course, we couldn't have a Japanese packaging post without something really silly - surely this text would be better on a plate, doesn't work at all on a cup!

And this is why I still haven't left Japan, if they ever sort out the crazy English and stop the fun design, I am outta here.
