Kawaii Gifts

Pittsburgh


Kawaii means, roughly, 'cute' in Japanese, and Kawaii Gifts is basically an emporium of cuteness with a Japanese twist. You know where we're going with this: Hello Kitty stuff, graphic art, acrylic pins, big chunky toys, manga posters and all the other anime aesthetics you could ever deck out an apartment with.
