10 Things You Didn’t Know You Can Buy on a Hello Kitty Flight + GIVEAWAY

22

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

We didn’t think something as wholesome as Hello Kitty would have alcohol till we saw this.

Don’t let the Hello Kitty packaging fool you; the wine quality has been certified by Vintners Quality Alliance (VQA).

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.
