Hello Kitty's origins are in the gift-giving and exchanging that is a big part of Japanese culture.
There's a place for Hello Kitty in every room of the home, and every place outside - she's just that versatile!
I have to be very choosy about what plush I actually bring home - there's only so much room - but I can play pretend.
If only I had enough faces to wear all the HK makeup :(
Slap Hello Kitty's face on it and even the dullest of objects becomes fun to use.
