A While Back - Valentine’s Day Family Date

 

I love Gundam! 

I used to be big on Valentine’s Day back when my son was younger. I often gave him surprises. Now that he’s older, we sometimes go out or do something special at home. This year, we went to Mitsukoshi. 

We checked out the Gashapon area first. I was looking for something cute….

…but ended up getting some for my son. 😁 And none for me.

He plays Monster Hunters…and is obsessed!

Kinokuniya

My next stop was Fully Booked x Kinokuniya where I got some more Clickart pens! I’m really loving these pens. I used them to sign books at the Philippine Book Festival. I also like doodling with them. 

These stamps were beautiful, but so expensive! But I think I’ll buy the Japanese food set next time. 

I love looking at bookmarks. 

A whole wall dedicated to Shonen Jump. I love anime. 

There was a time when my son and I were obsessed with Tomica cars. We have quite the collection. 

Daiso

My last stop was Daiso before going to Mitsukoshi Fresh. Here are a few items that I found interesting. 

Hmm… Looking at the jute bags now, I should’ve bought a few. These would make great gift bags! 

These bottles reminded me of Muji. 

The tag says spa bag organizer, but I have a few ideas for this. I’ll get one when I see it again. The thing about Daiso is, if you see something you like, you must get it as it doesn’t last long. 

In other news…

All things related to food will now be posted on my food blog. That means even my grocery pictures. So for the Mitsukoshi Fresh post, you will find that on Lady E Eats.

I’ve also started writing again on Life by Lady E. 

So, if you don’t see me here, you might find a new post in one of those other avenues. 

See you in my other blogs!
