It seemed like only a few weeks ago the weather theme in LoFT was 'keeping cool'. I stocked up on Magicool neck scarfs and even bought one for Mama-sando's puppy Schnaupi! But all of a sudden LoFT has released a winter catalogue. Think plaid, warm slippers, hot water bottles and donabe.
(Speaking of donabe - how cute is the softbank donabe set!)
It's 8 degrees here in Tokyo today - but I'm not complaining. You see, that's the thing about winter in Tokyo, keeping warm is just so cute! There is enough well designed bath salt packaging to keep you warm with a different design for a couple of months! My lovely friend Yuming has taken the hard work out of selecting which bath salts are right for you over here.
And how adorable are these character heated hokkairo packs!
Um, in case they were not cute enough already, they're also scented! The ones above are strawberry and grapefruit. You can also place the heated packs in these sweet covers.
Now how could you be upset with the weather with a strawberry scented bear in your pocket?
Stay warm sandwiches!
Love Love

So many cute things! I want to cuddle a cute bear to keep warm!
ReplyDeleteoh wow, those bath soaps look so cool! i bet they are very relaxing!!
ReplyDeleteand i love the softbank dog! so funny the commercials!
btw, ebonychan, in my last last post, i mentioned you! dont know if you saw it, because there was a music video i posted done in shimokitazawa!!! i wonder if the neighborhood in the video look familiar to you :-)
Aw, all such cute packaging! I have a hand warmer already (although nowhere near as cute) it be a good idea to carry it around inside clothes when walking around in this cold weather.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are surviving the cold !! Mads was obsessed with instant heat packs when we were over there!! They didn't look like those though
ReplyDeleteI love the winter too! I wish MN had the cute things that Tokyo does :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, jealous! The only cute winter things I've seen so far in the UK are hot water bottle covers. They're pretty cosy though.
ReplyDeleteThe tips for keeping warm while cycling are emergency measures squarely aimed at cycling tragics such as myself who have on occasion found themselves out on a bike when the snow starts to fall. I assume your readers are smarter than I and would never find themselves in such a situation!
ReplyDeletecute overload! i would buy it all and never use it i guess, haha. and my room will be filled with many cute things i shouldn't buy actually.
ReplyDeleteIt's 8 degrees in Holland too! But no warm bears in my ポケット....And no bath in my アパート.... I'm doing something wrong here ;)
ReplyDeletevery pretty collection you've got there.
ReplyDeleteI'm so curious, what is the Japanese secret for their graphic design? perfect purification? zillions of hours of hard work...it's so intriguing and mysterious to me... But the nice thing is, although I don't understand it (yet) I enjoy it every time.
thanks for sharing.
Hello Lavender Playground, he he me too! I want a little bear pouch! Back to LoFT for me I think!
ReplyDeleteMake it Easy!!! Hello lovely! Lovely Aron I sent you an email too! Thank you for linking to Sandwich lately! You're so lovely! xoxo
Hello Jennifer, yes! be sure to get the sticky ones that you can put inside your clothes! They are the best!
Pretty Pretty Yum Yum! Hello! ooo ha ha yes I haven't seen these ones before either. I always use the basic ones that are sticky - the ones you buy in bulk from outside Matsumotokiyoshi!
Hello Biscuit :) Winter is the best isn't it! So many lovely clothes - great fun for layering!
Hello Skye, oh you can't go wrong with a hot water bottle cover! :) I used to sleep with them in Sydney.
Hello Byron! ha ha yes, i thought perhaps I should take that link down in case people get blown away from fumes! he he!
Hello sun, oooo yes, but it's so cold that you'd probably find yourself using them here! But yes, you do need to be careful in Japan - too many lovely things to buy!
Hello Annemarie, ooo he he you should move to Tokyo then! ha ha! ;)
Hello Kiki! Thank you for your nice comment. ha ha must be zillions of hours of hard work I think! How else could they be spot on every single time!
Love Love

Oh goodness! Your blog is always so amazing Ebony! It brightens up my days so much. These are so adorable. I've been saving up to go travel through Japan for a month after I graduate Uni in May, and I really hope I have enough for goodies such as these! Yurp. Like I'd be able to resist them anyway, right? hehe.
ReplyDeleteYay for Japan!
i love those packs!! i wish i could buy them here...
ReplyDeleteOooh it's about to snow here in London - I want, need, must have one of those super cute heated hokkairo packs in my pocket.
ReplyDeleteoh i saw those gorgeous little hokkairo packs yesterday on my wander! so adorable, i think they will come in handy very soon! :-D
ReplyDeleteMay I ask where you found the scented hokkairo? They're adorable. I just left Japan and I already miss all the cuteness it offered!
