I am a lifelong Hello Kitty fan! I remember being little and going to Bon Ton, where they had Sanrio merchandise (which was expensive then, too). My parents would let us pick out a couple of stationary items. I was hooked. Now, my daughter adores Sanrio as well.
You can still buy the adorable Hello Kitty and friends stationary at places like Five Below or the official Sanrio Store!
50 years later, Sanrio is celebrating its golden anniversary, and Loungefly has an upcoming line that lets you join the party.
These pieces can be pre-ordered now and will ship on either November 1, 2024, or November 12, 2024.
