I was at Target today, saw something that made me physically sick.
I went to our local Target store with my sister today, and saw something absolutely AWFUL.

A sale, $15 on 4 items.
A water cooler, waffle maker, toaster and clock radio, all of them with the "Hello Kitty" theme.

Eeeewwwww...

21. Ebay
The Hello Kitty Massager was sold briefly in Japan. As far as I know they're no longer available but they do turn up on ebay.

10. I guess I shouldn't admit...
I actually bought the Hello Kitty waffle maker. I have a four year old who's obsessed with cats, who thought the HK waffle maker was the best thing ever.

14. I was so disappointed when I saw the HK cordless phone
Because I already had a cordless phone and therefore had no need of one. :cry:

24. OOH! You have no idea how far it goes. There's Hello Kitty everything.

The Target is small beans for HK stuff, LOL.

Try a Sanrio store. It's amazing. Guitars even.

But I love HK and her little friends. All of them.
