The Day I Almost Brought Pac-Man Home

Some stops are intentional.

Others just… happen.

Miniso was one of those.

I’ve been missing Miniso for months. As you may know, the branch near us closed. And it was such a good branch, too. 

I spotted the store after we went out of NBS. I was so excited to enter!

Of course, Ms Kitty greeted me. 

I spent a long time in this aisle because of Mofusand and PacMan.

I’m obsessed with those Pac-Man and ghost plushies on my cover photo! I wanted to buy the whole set, but we have no space. 

These are travel blankets. How convenient! You can just slip them over your arm or shoulder. Then unroll them in the car or bus when you get cold. 

I wasn’t able to resist this. This towel went home with me. 

I didn’t have any use for the Mofusand merch on the photo and thank God for that! But I did get one Mofusand item. 

This Pac-Man cassette keychain played music! I wanted to get it but I’m not a keychain person. I’m not big on putting stuff on my bags because they’re already heavy. I don’t need the added weight. But this was so cool!

I wanted to take this home, but I already have a lot of mugs. 

They have s standalone display for their hair accessories here. In my old Miniso, the hair accessories were just in one of the aisles. Here, they were displayed in the middle of the store. 

I also liked this section for travel. I spent a bit of time looking at the bottles. 

Me and my love affair with pouches. But I didn’t get any. 

This Jurassic World notebook was so cool. Too bad my son already outgrew dinosaurs. Would’ve bought it in a heartbeat. 

And these sticky notes were so fun! You can attach them to bags. And look at the shapes! I almost bought one for my nephew, but settled for a OnePiece notebook set instead. 

Miniso also now offers more food in their stores. 

I found this Hello Kitty cotton pack near the till. 

What drew me to this display was the “sanitary and safety ingredients text.” Nice to know Miniso. 

I didn’t but any nail polish because i still have a ton. I’ll use some up before buying again. 

And speaking of, I’m going to paint my nails now. See you in my next post!
