Two little misses come in every pack in the “designer collectibles” line, and this set won our hippie-loving hearts. Get her covered in groovy flowers or sporting giant peace signs.

Recommended for kids three and up, these are great for kids who love having one little friend to carry around but like to change things up often. The groovy picks are $US9.99 for a two-pack at Amazon, but you can find other picks for as little as $US7.99 for a two-pack.

Two of Japan’s biggest exports collide in this Medicom Toy Hello Kitty figurine, which mashes up the iconic kitten with design inspiration from Misfits-worshiping Japanese horror-punk band Balzac. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on who runs the toy shelf in your family), the 5×5″ figure is priced a bit beyond the grasp of kids: €75 (around $US99 U.S.) from Colette.

Supermodel Heidi Klum took her kids Leni (4), Henry (3) and Johan (2) to the celebrity hotspot Coldwater Park in Los Angeles the other day for some playtime. And we learned a little something about four year old Leni, she hearts Hello Kitty. But really, who doesn’t right?

Here Leni strikes a pose in her Hello Kitty Little Girl Sugar Glitter Dress embellished with the classic cat and a oodles of hearts. Sadly, the dress is out of production and out of stock, but you still can get pieces from the line like the Hello Kitty Little Girl Sugar Glitter Skeggings (that’s a skirt legging combo). And best of all, they are on sale for $US10.80 from Amazon (previously they were $US30).

As you may have noticed if you have ever been to Japan, the country’s most famous feline graces just about everything. Case in point: the Crane Hello Kitty Cool Mist Humidifier.

I was looking for something — anything — that would relieve the family from the shockingly dry heat in the house and there she was in her pink-ribboned glory. The unfortunate catch with Hello Kitty-adorned appliances is that you sometimes pay more for a product that delivers more cuteness, but less performance. (I’ve fallen in this trap a few times myself.) The humidifier seems to break that rule: The Amazon reviewers have marked it with 4 and a half stars and it’s only $US5 more than other comparable Crane humidifiers.

Available at Amazon for $US39.99.

Hello Kitty is everywhere, and pert near everything. Now you, yes you, can brand the birth of your child with Sanrio magic. A 30-Bed hospital in central Taiwan has created a Hello Kitty themed maternity ward, for those wanting to cute up their birth journey. The newborns are wrapped in pink and blue receiving blankies, the room décor is dolled up with cute kitties, all the linens are Hello Kitty branded, and the nurses wear official Hello Kitty uniforms. 

"I wish that everyone who comes here, mothers who suffer while giving birth and children who suffer from an illness, can get medical care while seeing these kitties and bring a smile to their faces, helping forget about discomfort and recover faster," the director of the hospital told Reuters. He opened the hospital because his mum, wife and his daughter all liked the Hello Kitty character.  You can check out a video about the hospital here.

Would you make any kind of special effort to deliver your baby in a themed maternity ward? And if so, what kind of theme would you want?
   

It seems like Japan always has the cool new stuff. The Hello Kitty Exlim  camera from Casio is pink, 8.1 mega pixels and would be perfect for the Hello Kitty fan in all of our daughters. But did I mention that it's available in Japan? More info after the jump.

The camera has 8.1 megapixels, a 3x optical zoom and will record movies – all pretty standard stuff for digital cameras these days. In fact, it's kind of on the low end for digital point and shoot cameras. And it isn't even on the Casio International web site, but they do feature it on the Casio Japan web site. If you speak Japanese, check it out here.

One enterprising web site is selling the camera to international customers, but it will set you back $US598.60, plus shipping. A comparable Exlim camera from Casio (and it's even pink) with slightly better specs (4x optical zoom and a bigger LCD screen) has a MSRP of $US199.99 according to the Casio USA web site, so you can see the premium you'll be paying for Hello Kitty.

My advice? Find someone who's making a trip to Tokyo sometime soon and have them pick one up for you.

As a little girl growing up in the late 70s Hello Kitty was a staple in the must have department. There were stickers, sleeping bags, diaries and about almost every back to school item you could imagine. But the one thing I couldn’t imagine then, or now for that matter, is this piece of Kitty bling.

I guess the Pave diamond and pink sapphire Hello Kitty watch, US$1,999, designed by Kimora Lee Simmons for Hello Kitty Fine Jewelry plays on nostalgia for all those 70s girls that have grown up and are making some big bucks. Don’t think there are many kids wearing this one. But if I was going to drop that kind of cash on a watch I don’t think it would don any type of cartoon character.
