Over 100 different Hello Kitty-themed items can be found on board an EVA Air Hello Kitty aircraft – from pillowcases to cutlery to rice cookies. But, that’s not all – you can even find a wide range of Hello Kitty merchandise and souvenirs from the inflight shopping catalogue and on the Sky Shop website.

Some of these items are even limited edition ones. Also, a number of the items can only be delivered to a Taiwan address (you can pre-order and get the items delivered to your hotel.)

If you are a die-hard Hello Kitty fan and plan to take a Hello Kitty flight soon, get ready to burn a hole in your pocket. Here are 10 items you can buy on board the Hello Kitty flight:

1. Hello Kitty Apron

Bring out the domestic goddess in you with this Hello Kitty apron. The pink apron, which is also the same one worn by EVA Air air stewardesses, is embroidered with a Hello Kitty motif, coupled with pockets and a sewn-on ribbon. Oh, it’s water-resistant too.

Price: NT$1,080 (US$35).

2. Hello Kitty Japanese Style Handbag by Nakagawa Masashichi Shoten

We love this bag because it doesn’t scream Hello Kitty. If subtlety is your name, opt for this handbag by Nakagawa Masashichi Shoten, a historic Japanese homeware brand established in Nara Prefecture since 1716. Dyed using the famous Kyoto hand-dyeing technique, the canvas bag features Edo-era Monkiri patterns with classic Hello Kitty images and flying aeroplanes.

Price: NT$3,200 (US$104).

3. Hello Kitty DrumBass Earphones by Lifetrons

Need to drown out the noise in the flight? This pair of elegant Hello Kitty earphones by Lifetrons Switzerland, a Swiss brand known for its high quality electronic accessories, should do the job. Designed with a rose gold finish, the earphones promise to deliver exceptional sound quality with a built-in dynamic driver to provide beautiful sounds. The earphones come with a Hello Kitty carrying case, inflight adaptor and extra ear cushions too.

Price: NT$1,790 (US$58).

4. Hello Kitty Shining Star 3D Jigsaw Puzzle

We have all seen the traditional jigsaw puzzle. But, have you seen a 3D one, and a Hello Kitty aircraft one at that? This 40-piece Hello Kitty Shining Star 3D Jigsaw Puzzle is bound to keep your kids occupied (and probably you too) during the flight. There are also other designs depicting the different Hello Kitty themes for other EVA Air aircrafts. The airplane puzzle measures 3 inches tall and 5 inches wide.

Price: NT$500 (US$16).

5. Hello Kitty Shining Star Aircraft Model Scale 1:500

Think the 3D Jigsaw Puzzle airplane is too cute for your liking? How about an aircraft model then? This 1:500 Hello Kitty Shining Star Aircraft Model will make a nice addition to an aviation geek’s collection.

Price: NT$1,790 (US$58).

6. Hello Kitty Limited Edition Ice Wine

We didn’t think something as wholesome as Hello Kitty would have alcohol till we saw this. Canadian wine maker Pillitteri produced these two Hello Kitty ice wine – the red bottle is a Cabernet while the blue bottle is a Vidal. Don’t let the Hello Kitty packaging fool you; the wine quality has been certified by Vintners Quality Alliance (VQA).

Price: NT$3,680 (about US$116). For delivery to a Taiwan address only.

7. Hello Kitty Pillows

These Hello Kitty pillows are not the tiny ones you’d find on board the Hello Kitty plane. Measuring 35 by 55 cm, these pillows are 90% feathers and 10% down. The covers are made of 100% cotton. The pillows come in five colours – namely pink, blue, purple, green and yellow. You can choose to buy one pillow or a set of five.

Price: NT$800 (about US$25) for one pillow/NT$3,700 (about US$117) for a set of five. For delivery to a Taiwan address only.

8. Hello Kitty Mixed Nuts and Crackers

On board a Hello Kitty flight, you will be given a packet of Hello Kitty nuts and crackers. If you can’t get enough of the snack, you can buy a box of these home. Each box contains 100 packets of Hello Kitty mixed nuts and crackers – that should last you for a long time to come.

Price: NT$630 (about US$20) per box. For delivery to a Taiwan address only.

9. Hello Kitty Facial Sonic Cleansing Brush System

Looks like Hello Kitty wants to help you with your facial woes too. Developed by Taiwanese cosmetic company Neogence, this limited-edition set of Milli facial sonic cleansing system is said to help with deep facial cleansing and pore purifying. It comes with a battery-operated cleansing device, two brush heads (a grey one for sensitive skin and a black-rimmed one for normal skin) and a 20ml bottle of hyaluronic acid essence in a pink Hello Kitty tin box.

Price: NT$1,499 (about US$48). For delivery to a Taiwan address only.

10. Hello Kitty Seaweed Chips

Yamamoto-Noriten, a Japanese company specialising in nori seaweed, collaborated with Sanrio to come up with this limited-edition Hello Kitty seaweed chips. This is also a special Taiwan edition as the tin cans feature Hello Kitty against the background of Jiufen of New Taipei City. The seaweed chips come in two flavours – sour plum and wasabi. Even if you don’t like seaweed, buy this for the sake of the adorable tin cans.

Price: NT$580 (about US$18). For delivery to a Taiwan address only.
