I hand-craft each plush upon order during my scheduled Shop Releases. I try to do one Shop Release per month, and the date and time is posted on my Instagram and Facebook at least a week in advance. Many customers add an alarm to their phone to remind them of the launch since some of my plush designs sell out within a few minutes. Every Shop Release is very limited since it's just me sewing, packaging, mailing, handling social media, and answering emails to the best of my ability :)  I'm so sorry that some plush designs sell out very...

Exciting news!! 🎁🎉 Gift Cards are now available!! $10, $25, $50 and $100 options are all available in my shop here:  https://www.shlii.com/products/shlii-kawaii-toys-gift-card These cards don’t expire and can be used on any items in my shop or new items that I add!!

They seem to not understand that some of us make products by hand and have extremely limited listings that sell out in minutes when we do shop releases.  I’ve...

This year has been such an exciting flurry of events and new plush designs! I am so grateful for all of your support and encouragement throughout this year. I'm doing one last plush preorder for this year. My shop release is happening on Saturday, November 23, at noon(EST). ❤ Each new item will be limited since I make them all by hand. Due to prepping for MAGfest and Katsucon, my next shop release will take place in late February 2020.

At the last minute before heading out to O'Connor Brewing's Stranger Things party, I opened up preorders for a new friend: Babygorgon! It's the much rounder, quite small, and very kawaii cousin of the Stranger Things monsters. Even with all of Babygorgon's positive qualities, I'd still keep a close eye on your cat if you adopt one ... Opening up preorders Saturday night was a moment I went completely off of my business plan and schedule. Originally, I was sewing them for FantaSci, a mini con happening this weekend. But I was so excited and happy with how Babygorgon turned out that...
