Hello Kitty Christmas – The Perfect Expression of the Season’s Goodwill Message
For many Hello Kitty enthusiasts the main draw of the feline character is her utter cuteness – it’s a simple emotion that catches them when they first fall in love with her. Her appeal is particularly enchanting to younger girls, who connect instantly with the simple style in which she is drawn – her cute large, rounded face, with button eyes, nose and three fine whiskers on either side are exactly how a six-year-old might draw a cat. But there is more to Hello Kitty’s cuteness than simply a cartoon style.
The Hello Kitty brand, created in Japan and now a global success for over 35 years, is a key character in the Japanese kawaii cultural tradition that came into focus in the 1970s. The word kawaii literally means adorable, precious, lovable, or innocent. It is this sense of innocence and purity of heart that Hello Kitty represents, and it is the simple goodness of the Hello Kitty character that makes identifying with her an excellent role model for young girls, chiming in with the Christmas season’s message of peace and goodwill to all.
Always a part of Hello Kitty’s character (if you research her official character profile she is described as a bright and kind-hearted girl whose favourite word is friendship), the goodwill message is now so strongly associated with Hello Kitty that she has become both a United States children’s ambassador for Unicef and the official tourism ambassador to China and Hong Kong!
So, introducing a child to the Hello Kitty brand at Christmas couldn’t be more ideal. And as the company who developed the brand, Sanrio, have extended licensing arrangements to hundreds of manufacturers across the globe – you can find pretty much every kind of Hello Kitty product imaginable! And at Christmas time you are likely to find extra merchandise aimed at the holiday season: there are Hello Kitty Christmas lights
My favorite has got to be the Hello Kitty & Friends Holiday Fun DVD set – it’s a great way to discover the Hello Kitty world as it features not just Hello Kitty, but also her sister Mimmy and their friends; it’s a collection of reworked fairytale and storybook classics such as Cinderella and Heidi, plus some Christmas themed original stories and adventures teaching a message of friendship, courage and helping others.
But aside from the obviously Christmas themed Hello Kitty products, there are also ranges of Hello Kitty clothing, jewelery and accessories, toys and games, books and school items, sports equipment, home ware and electronics – for just about any gift item you can think of, there is a Hello Kitty version available! And, as the brand has evolved and grown over the past thirty years, Hello Kitty now even has a retro-style cult status amongst women of all ages with appropriate merchandise for them too, such as grown-up diamond jewellery and adult clothing ranges. So it seems that Hello Kitty is not just for children at Christmas, but carries an appealing goodwill message for everyone all year round!
Extra Special Hello Kitty Christmas Gifts

Christmas is often the time where we truly spoil our loved ones, lavishing them with gifts and perhaps even choosing this magical time of year to pop a wedding proposal. For those of you whose loved ones are serious Hello Kitty enthusiasts, there are a handful of really unbelievably wonderful Hello Kitty gifts for you to choose from.
A couple of fun types of present are top end bicycles or scooters; ideal for the woman on your life who is not quite ready to grow up yet! I just love the Hello Kitty Special Edition Retro Kitty Girl’s/Women’s 24-Inch Cruiser Bike by Nirve which retails at around $330. With its whitewall tyres and cruise style handlebars it oozes 1950s style glamor – perfect for retro Hello Kitty fans.
For younger ladies with retro tendencies, what about the Hello Kitty Pocket Mod Miniature Euro Electric Scooter by Razor, which retails around $300? Suitable for ages 12 and up, but only suitable for short but nevertheless stylish trips, this is a fun item for the Hello Kitty gal who has everything! (Remember to drive safely and legally!)
But if you really want to spoil a Hello Kitty fan rotten, then how about the utterly fabulous ranges of Hello Kitty Jewelry and Watches from the Simmons Jewelry Co. According to their website, these high-end Hello Kitty accessories encrusted with diamonds and gemstones “is targeted to women who grew up with Hello Kitty and still harbor an emotional connection to the character”.
Apparently worn by celebrities such as Hilary Duff, Tyra Banks and Rihanna, and retailing from affordable silver and enamel pieces around $45 to serious pieces above and beyond $500, these items are something special indeed! And here’s a thought – how about getting on bended knee with the $4300 Hello Kitty “Simply Kitty” Ring by Simmons Jewelry Co. In yellow gold with citrine, diamond, onyx and pink-sapphire accents – no Hello Kitty devotee would ever dare say no!
Best Hello Kitty Accessories & Christmas Jewelry

The great thing about Hello Kitty accessories is that you can indulge in the brand without being too obvious – this is especially good for grown-ups who still want to have a bit of a reminder of their childhood friend.
Top of the list for adults’ Christmas stocking fillers, which are usually fun and quirky items anyway, have got to be the Hello Kitty sock range made by Loungefly. Loungefly are one of the accredited Hello Kitty merchandisers who specialise in clothing and accessories with fun and funky, sometimes slightly retro and mostly adult-aimed designs. Their knee-high Hello Kitty socks come in a US adult size 9-11 and with super trendy designs such as the Pink Donuts, the Black and White stripe and the Black and Blue Sailor stripe, even the most conservative Hello Kitty fan can indulge in their passion.
For those who prefer to be a bit more obvious about their Hello Kitty affection there are other Hello Kitty accessories that are a bit more visible. For example, there is huge variety of Hello Kitty jewellery including earrings, necklaces and bracelets. Hello Kitty is even available in the latest children’s hot fashion accessory: the 
Hello Kitty Silly Bandz and Ringz! However, purists will love the 
Hello Kitty sterling silver and enamel earrings with red bow detail and matching pendant and necklace; whilst for those who like a bit of bling, how about the Hello Kitty Swarovski Crystal pendant and chain – the pendant shape is the outline of Hello Kitty’sface and is topped off with a pink crystal bow!
There are Hello Kitty jewelry and accessories ranges suited to adult and children alike but, in my opinion, the best Hello Kitty Christmas accessories for children have got to be either one of the many different Hello Kitty Kids Umbrellas – my favorite is the Hello Kitty Girl’s Pink Umbrella with 3D Handle in the shape of Hello Kitty herself; or the utterly wonderful Hello Kitty Sleepover/ Slumber Bag set which includes a tote bag, a sleeping bag and an eye mask – perfect for Hello Kitty princesses everywhere!
Hello Kitty Gifts for Your Home

If you’re looking for the perfect Hello Kitty Christmas gift for the serious devotee, then you might want to consider something Hello Kitty themed for their home. The great news is that there is a ton of home ware stuff out there to help you create the ultimate Hello Kitty home, from humidifiers to CD organizers, you can find just about any product with a Hello Kitty design on it.
A lot of the Hello Kitty home products are aimed at young girls – naturally they are most likely more into Hello Kitty at that age. And so, if your little girl is Hello Kitty crazy, then what better than to dedicate her bedroom to the adorable cat?
There are lots of Hello Kitty furniture and furnishings to choose from, but perhaps the simplest is to start with a linen set for her bed – my favorite is the Hello Kitty Peace Kitty Full Sheet Set, 
which includes a flat sheer, a fitted sheet and a pillowcase and features the lovely Hello Kitty with the peace sign – what a great message! If, on the other hand, you’re expecting a baby girl and love the Hello Kitty look, then the manufacturers Lambs & Ivy have a gorgeous Hello Kitty and Puppy Baby Crib Bedding Set, which includes a quilt, bumper, sheet and dust ruffle, and can be matched with other Hello Kitty nursery items, such as the mobile and quilted wall hanging.
For older girls, or if you don’t want to go the whole hog with the Hello Kitty theme, then a really useful gift which will add a touch of Hello Kitty magic to a bedroom is one of the any Hello Kitty alarm clocks out there.
You can go for a traditional clock with bells, choose all mod cons with a digital projection model, or go a bit kooky with the more amusing designs like the Sleeping Hello Kitty alarm clock that is shaped as a bed with Hello Kitty sleeping on it, all will provide happy Christmas greetings on Xmas day! Another option is the Hello Kitty drinking flask and food jar from Thermos – the flask is a great addition to your child’s lunchbox, and the food jar could be the place for to keep her special treats!
Finally, for a truly retro Hello Kitty aficionado, check out the amazing Hello Kitty toaster and sandwich maker, and the Hello Kitty mini fridge! Perhaps a bit garish for some tastes, but perfect for the true lover of all things Hello Kitty!
Great Hello Kitty Toys and Games for Christmas

Everyone likes to play with toys and games at Christmas, so choosing a Hello Kitty toy or game, as a Christmas present is a great idea, and a fun way to introduce Hello Kitty into your child’s life or indulge an already established love. There are hundreds of Hello Kitty toys and games out there, so here’s a run down of my top Christmas gift ideas:
The Beanie Baby phenomenon is still alive and kicking, and having gained a Hello Kitty license, the manufacturers Ty Inc have seriously gone to town with a huge range of Hello Kitty Beanie Babies available. And retailing around the $10 mark you can easily get more than one! Choose from the original Hello Kitty Beanie Baby, or get one of the many super cute themed versions such as Hello Kitty Watermelon or Green Apple Beanie Babies, or my personal favorite, the Hello Kitty Rock Chick Beanie Baby! You can also get some of the other Sanrio characters as Beanie Babies, including Badtz Maru, Keropi and My Melody.
2. Hello Kitty Monopoly and Yahtzee by USAopoly
You can’t get more traditional for Christmas games than Monopoly or Yahtzee –
perennial family favorites, and perfect for a bit of fun after Christmas dinner. So it’s great news that USAopoly has brought out special Collector’s Edition Hello Kitty versions of these family games. The Monopoly is especially collectible with the traditional silver playing tokens replaced by ones in the shape of Hello Kitty’s favorite items: a milk bottle, a fish bowl, a lunch box, a bow, a teddy, and some apples!
3. Hello Kitty Toddler’s Quad Bike and Hello Kitty Kickboard
If you want to get Christmas gifts that encourage young girls to go play outside, then these are for you. 
The Hello Kitty Quad Bike for toddlers up to aged 4 retails at around $55, so this would probably be an extra special gift, but great fun for the outdoors. Meanwhile, the Hello Kitty Kickboard, a little less expensive at around $18, is both a practical and fun aid to encourage young swimmers (nb – you can also get a matching Hello Kitty swimsuit to complete the look!).
Top Hello Kitty Clothing Gifts for Christmas

There are literally thousands of different Hello Kitty clothing products featuring all sorts of Hello Kitty designs; for every kind of clothing wear you can imagine there are several Hello Kitty versions, from fairly usual items such as t-shirts to jeans, to more novelty Hello Kitty clothing items such as baseball caps 
and even underwear!
But for Hello Kitty Christmas gifts you may be looking for something a bit more seasonal, different or just a little low-cost trinket especially as a stocking gift. The obvious Christmas clothing gift is, of course, a matching set of Hello Kitty mitten, scarf and beanie hat set. There are tons of different versions of these sets, in all sorts of different finishes and materials from 100% acrylic to chenille. Most of these sets are aimed for children, and are an ideal Christmas gift – I particularly like the more simple styles in pink, like the pink Hello Kitty 3 Piece Mitten Set Scarf from Sanrio with purple bobble detail as the bright pink color is great for keeping your kid visible in holiday crowds!
Another traditionally Christmas gift is sleepwear, and in this section the Hello Kitty options are endless. For both young girls and adult women alike there are hundreds of different Hello Kitty pajamas and nightgowns. For little girls my absolute favorite is the Hello Kitty “Bike” Nightgown, which is one of the few designs that isn’t all over pink and features a lovely Hello Kitty scene on the front. For grown-ups who like a little cuteness at bedtime, what about the ultra-cute Hello Kitty Star Heart Babydoll Sleep Dress, or the Hello Kitty Heather and Pink Cami/Short set both made by WebUndies – both designs seem to me to get the mix of adult style with cute motifs just right.
And for something a little different, I think the Western Chief Hello Kitty girls rain gear, including items such as rain jackets and rain boots which retail around $40 for the jacket are just the kind of clothing item that is ideal at Christmas as rain gear is not something we often think of buying. And finally, Hello Kitty is available for all ages including infant! What could be cuter for babies first Christmas than a set of Hello Kitty infant booties/socks – perfect for passing down your love of Hello Kitty through the generations!
