If y’all know me, you’ll know that I love tea~ Like I deadass just [tried to consume as much milk tea and milk tea products] as I could during my 2019 Thailand trip. That wasn’t even all of it… Of course, I’m always making and drinking milk tea at home too~ I used to have this adorable panda teacup. It was my favorite teacup. But…it broke back in October 2020…

I want thisssss~~~ https://t.co/YX5EjhYDLL

Been looking for cute teacups ever since. I saw some absolutely gorgeous Totoro ones. I was like, “I WANTTTT!!!” But then I saw the price… The teacup and saucer set was basically like $60+ before shipping… So I had been putting that off for a while…One day I’mma get ’em…….

Anyway, fast forward to now. I’m back home in South Florida. I was hanging out with my bestie. We decided to go to Round 1 (Japanese arcade) with her kids. It’s at a mall too. So she was like, “Let’s checkout Box Lunch!” Y’all I live under a rock. Most of my time is just at work. So I had no idea what Box Lunch was. But turns out they gotta hella cute fandom shit. I wanted to buy all the thingsss~ But yeah, I immediately stopped when I spotted some Ghibli teacups. Saw them and thought of Rose (@wretchedanddevine) too since I remember we had a convo about the Ghibli teacups. Although I later found out that Box Lunch is US only… Sorry, Rose…

Anyway, I was like “YOOOO!! These cuuuute~” And I was so surprised to see the price too. They were actually very affordable. They were basically like $20-25 each. Each teacup set includes the cup, saucer, and a spoon too!!! So yeah, I grabbed them. Although I probably could’ve saved money buying them online cuz they got lots of sales online. Also my friend had coupons but left them at home LMAO. But I was still okies with it~ There were 2 designs: Jiji from Kiki’s Delivery Service and Totoro from My Neighbor Totoro. I was initially just going to get one, but they were both so cute. So I bought both lolololol When you are an adult and have adult money, you are susceptible to impulse buys LOLOL Apparently these are part of the Ashley Taylor collection. IDK who or what that is, but I throw that info out there for y’all anyway.

Truthfully, the one with Jijji is more my cup of tea (pun intended)~ It’s more my kind of aesthetic and I love the pinky and purple colors~

But Totoro has always been one of my fave characters. I also just had to get it to match my oversized Totoro cardigan LOLOL I also wanted to point out you can kinda feel the texture of the paint of the “grass” on Totoro saucer~ Like it’s not just a flat paint~ It’s layered and textured. Which I thought was nifty~ Of course the designs on these teacups are much more simpler than the ones I mentioned before. But these were still really cute, and I thought they were a great deal~

Anyway, that was it y’all. I just wanted to show of my spiffy new tea cups~ I can’t wait to use them during my afternoon teatime reads~ If y’all are in the US and interested in getting them, you can head over to [Box Lunch]. I know I’ll be buying more stuffs one day haha. Like I’m definitely eying that Kiki’s sweater and that one Totoro mug~ Anyway, have a lovely day friends. I am off to knock myself out on cold meds cuz I’m sick… Y’all stay safe and take care~
