There has been a lot of excitement around Kawaii Gifts lately, and we’re launching this blog to share it with you! One of the most exciting updates has been the addition of a new line of merchandise to our Shadyside shop and online store.

We are beyond thrilled to be an authorized retailer for Loungefly!

For a shop like ours that specializes in fandom franchises and adorable aesthetics, Loungefly is a perfect fit! Loungefly is well-known for high-quality backpacks, wallets, and accessories from major series like Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, Avatar the Last Airbender, Pokemon, and more. That’s just the tip of the iceberg! The new collection also features collectible, limited-edition Disney pins!

We couldn’t be happier about the timing, either. With summer break nearing its close, it’s time to start getting the back-to-school checklist together. Kawaii Gifts can be your one-stop-shop for everything you or your student need to express yourselves when heading back to class.

A new bag from Loungefly would definitely make a statement! Sport a Bulbasaur backpack to celebrate your love of the classic starter Pokemon. Keep your belongings safe in a bag fashioned with Stormtrooper armor. Master the elements and your classes with Avatar Aang. There’s something for everyone in the new collection, and you can browse them all here.

The eye-catching design isn’t all that these bags have to offer. They’re great for staying organized, as well. If you’re looking for the supplies to fill your bag, we have you covered! We carry a variety of writing utensils, folders, notebooks, pen pouches and more with adorable designs from San-X, Sanrio and Sailor Moon, just to name a few.

You won’t want to miss out on our back-to-school collections coming up this month! Stay tuned to our new blogs and social media for upcoming featured deals, restocks, and PopShop Live streams all designed to help you get back to school in super kawaii style! You can always shop our entire collection here, and see updates on new arrivals on our Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok.

Whether you’ve been visiting the shop since before our expansion upstairs five years ago, seeing us among the other vendors at conventions or you’ve just found our online store today, we’re happy to get to say “welcome!” We hope you enjoy browsing!
