my name is nina. i love cute, sweet and pretty things as well as loud, dark and grungy things. i love packing gifts for people, not only for special occasions but just because too. i have too many shoes but i'm not one of those girls who has too many shoes... right. i enjoy silence and wondering through museums.

i love tiny things, bunnies, live rock concerts, k-drama, sunshine, driving, pretty boys, taking naps, working(sometimes), little details, when people smile like no one is watching, naturally long eyelashes on boys, magazines, iced tea, valentine's day, eating sweets, traveling, ect.

if we're in a swap where the item requirements are kawaii then send kawaii brand items only. this means no disney, no diddl, only kawaii brands such as q-lia, kamio, crux, san-x, sanrio, ect. if we're in a swap where the requirements are "kawaii/cute/anything" then you can send non brand cuteness but it has to have that same japanese aesthetic. yes kawaii means cute in japanese, so send something that looks cute japanese. for example: a teddy bear is "cute" but rilakkuma is "kawaii"

when signing up for kawaii swaps that meet these requirements, if you send me disney or diddl it's just going to get thrown out and i'll have to rate you for not meeting swap requirements... no disney... no diddl...

NEW or like new. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't send me something you picked up at the dollar store for a kawaii swap(or any swap for that matter)... please don't send me bent, torn or broken items either. and no more expired candy...

i don't want to receive wooden pencils, erasers, lip balms, key chains or plushies (plushies on a chain or cellphone strap are ok though ♥). i don't mind sending them out... just don't want anymore.

i would L♥O♥V♥E to get lettersets, decotape, sticker sacks, plexiglass stickers, sticker sheets, pens with charms, mechanical pencils with charms, memo pads, mini memo pads, envelopes of all sizes, pouches, bags, home goods like mugs/cups. i love scented stickers and rubber stamps.

i'd really like to get more decotapes and stickers

STATIONARY DISLIKES

i am not a fan of disney, sponge bob, thomas the train, my little pony, any american children characters really. (EXCEPT OLD SCHOOL CARE BEARS ♥ love them very much ♥). i'm not a fan of diddl at all... i'm picky with stripes, polka dot or plaid pattern stuff so please don't send it. i like those themes if they have a zakka or vintage aesthetic but not if they're done otherwise. please google these things for an idea or just ask if you're unsure about anything.

i don't want to receive wooden pencils, erasers, lip balms, key chains or plushies (plushies on a chain or cellphone strap are ok though ♥). i don't mind sending them out... just don't want anymore.
