Rilakkuma is a Japanese bear character by San-X that I have been obsessed with ever since I went to Japan a few years ago. I wrote about some Rilakumma items in past Nerdy Stuff posts, so when I saw this cute scissors stand I knew it would be a handy addition to my Rilakkuma collection. I like having a pair of scissors that I can rely on being returned to the exact same place when other people use it. This Rilakkuma scissors stand does exactly that! :) Read more...

I got this Rilakkuma Nuigurumi Mini Speaker at Maido, one of my favorite stationary stores. Rilakkuma is the name of a popular Japanese character by San-X. The bear shown here is Rilakkuma's friend, Korilakkuma (a female white bear), but it also comes in Rilakkuma (a male brown bear) and Kiiroitori (a yellow chick). This mini speaker is great to keep in your purse -- it's extremely lightweight, it works with most audio devices like cell phones and iPods, and it's super cute! Read more...
