I just received this Gumballa beaded bracelet by Kookizu, and it’s my new favorite thing. So cute! And I really love the fact that it’s adjustable and can fit on my puny wrist.

Kookizu also sent me this Kitty Kei necklace…

and this hand-painted laser engraved birch plywood necklace!

Time for a giveaway! To enter, visit Kookizu’s online shop and tell me what item is supahcute to you! I will pick 2 random winners, and the first name I pick will get first choice. The runner-up receives the remaining necklace.

Giveaway ends midnight PST on Sunday, February 26.
